We booked this trip last minute in March and initially hoped for a late afternoon ride. Raúl was incredibly attentive, keeping us informed about the weather and ensuring we went out at the best and safest time. His communication was excellent throughout. Once on board, Raúl shared fascinating insights about Porto's history, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. He even treated us to a selection of different port wines, which was a wonderful touch! After the tour, Raúl recommended a fantastic restaurant that we absolutely loved. Overall, an amazing experience!

Best day in Porto!

Jeremy_G, Dec 2024

Raul and his team gave a great experience! The boat was beautiful and the wine and treats were delicious. We enjoyed the spectacular view and the warm hospitality. It was great for the kids and they even lowered the sail and allowed the children to captain the boat! I cannot recommend this tour enough!! Thank you, Raul and George!

Romantic and personal river cruse

This tour was AMaZING!! A very special experience for me and my husband! Raul is very kind and personable. He chatted with us about Porto's history and took some amazing pictures! The boat was nice and perfect for a romantic cruise up and down the river. Much more intimate that the large mass tourist boats you see. Highly reccomended.

Incredible Sunset Cruise!

This small group cruise was such a delight! Raul was so fun and kind and took us to some really beautiful spots. The boat was clean and comfortable. And the port we tasted was great! Absolutely recommend this trip!

Beautiful sunset cruise

Lauren_W, May 2024

We did the sunset cruise and had so much fun! Raul and George were so kind and informative, and shared cookies and three different kinds of port wine with us. We saw gorgeous views of the city from the river and also learned a lot about the history of Porto/Gaia. Raul also gave us some great recommendations for dinner and things to do around the city. It was definitely a highlight of our trip!

So much fun highly...

A recommander

Super croisière avec Raul et Jorge. Dégustation de portos très généreuse. A recommander . Le fait d’être un petit groupe est vraiment intéressant, nous n’étions que 4 personnes.
