Oplev byerne Porto og Vila Nova de Gaia fra et virkelig særligt perspektiv om bord på et elegant fartøj på Douro-floden. Denne tur tilbyder en unik, afslappende og eksklusiv oplevelse for en lille gruppe på maksimalt 9 personer, væk fra folkemængderne af traditionelle bykrydstogter. I ca. 2 timer sejler vi langs flodbredderne, så du kan sætte pris på byernes ikoniske landskaber samt forskellige monumenter med deres unikke historier. Under turen vil du nyde Port vin smagning, samt kiks, alle produkter af vores by. Med et erfarent og behørigt certificeret team, venter vi på dit besøg... Vores boarding point er et traditionelt område, der bruges af lokale fiskere, hvilket giver en autentisk og regional oplevelse. Her kommer besøgende i direkte kontakt med byens sande maritime essens, langt fra det kommercielle miljø i konventionelle marinaer.

Very good being in a small boat with probably max 8 people. Guide really does not need to talk all the time. Much better to answer questions. We had perfect weather but it was really windy I would not have got on this boat
Beautiful ride down the Douro River. Guide was very knowledgeable. Nice intimate boat ride with only 10 guests.
We were very disappointed. We thought we had booked a tour with one of the professional boat tour companies but our captain was an independent boat owner and wasn’t very professional. The meeting place was about 30 minutes away from where all the professional boat tour companies launch, our captain was not a very knowledgeable guide and we were served two very small samples of port wine in plastic glasses that didn’t look like they had been cleaned from the prior tour. We paid about $40@ and didn’t feel like it was worth the price.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that the experience did not match your expectations. However, we would like to clarify a few important points for future guests reading this review. We are a local company with three years of experience, operating our own boat tours on the Douro. Our Captain is a member of our professional team — he is not an independent boat owner or the owner of the company. His primary responsibility on board is the safety of our guests and the safe navigation of the vessel, supported by our experienced team. Our meeting point is intentionally located at a traditional fishermen's club, rather than in the busiest commercial departure area. This gives our guests the opportunity to experience an authentic part of Porto's maritime heritage, while avoiding the crowds and confusion that can occur among the many boats departing from the main tourist area. We believe this is an important part of what makes our experience different. Regarding the glasses, we use reusable PVC glasses specifically for safety reasons. Glassware is not appropriate on a moving boat, where it can break and create a hazard. All glasses are washed with detergent and disinfected after every tour. The experience also includes two Port wine tastings and biscuits, as clearly stated in our offering. Our aim is to provide a personal and relaxed experience, combining the Douro, Porto's heritage and a taste of the region — rather than simply being another crowded boat tour. Finally, our advertised ticket price is €35 per person, including the tour and the Port wine tasting. The approximately $40 mentioned in the review reflects the currency conversion and is not our ticket price. We respect that every guest has different expectations, but we believe it is important to provide these factual clarifications. We take great pride in being a small local company offering an authentic, personal and safe experience on the Douro, away from the crowds. Kind regards,
Beautiful river, especially at sunset. 🌅 Impressive. bridges, interesting information on the area. Careful and capable Captain at helm.
We chose this excursion because of the reviews. We wanted to be on the water for sunset and enjoy a small group experience rather than a large boat with many people. Filipe was our captain and he greeted us warmly and treated us as friends! The meeting point was easy and even though traffic held us up, he called via WhatsApp and gathered us without delay! We were able to use the facilities before the boat ride and as we came aboard we met Bruno who was an excellent skipper, navigating bigger boat waves and making the ride as smooth as possible! Filipe interacted with everyone, joked and told history of Porto. It was a fantastic evening!! Could the boat have been more luxurious? Sure, but for the time, and experience it was the best! We went very far down the river almost out of Porto, and went back and went very far to the oceans gate… you could smell the salt water! The timing was perfect. They asked days in advance to move the tour 1/2 hour prior for best sunset views due to time change and that was very thoughtful and worth it! Highly recommend! Tell Filipe NY sent you!
Our guide Philip was very knowledgeable and engaging--exactly what you'd like in a guide, personable and funny. It was a sunset trip--very smooth and effortless for us. He took a few photos of us, with one of our phones--at sunset. A romantic moment.
This boat trip was the highlight of our trip. I’ve done the touristy boat trips with audio guide in Porto before and they don’t compare to this one. The guide was very engaging, funny and informative. It was great to learn about Porto’s history and the six bridges, but also local facts and insights from the guide. The guide was able to answer all of our questions. Port wine was great too.
The TOUR GUIDE was very pleasant. Unfortunately myself and several other people were very frustrated and confused with the meeting point. It was not clearly marked where to meet. The address that was given as a meeting point was up the hill at a café, not close to the boat.
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the tour guide very pleasant. Regarding the meeting point, we would like to clarify that the meeting point is the café indicated in the booking information, and it is located directly in front of the boat boarding area. The location and the boarding/departure area are also shown in the photos provided in the listing, precisely to help guests identify the meeting point and avoid confusion. We understand that finding a meeting point in an unfamiliar city can sometimes be challenging, and we are always happy to assist guests if they need directions. However, the meeting point itself is clearly specified in the booking information and is not a location away from the boat departure area. We appreciate your feedback and will continue doing our best to make the meeting instructions as clear as possible for all our guests.
We had a great experience on this tour. Adriano was a great character.He demonstrated a vast knowledge of Porto, Portugal and its relation to England. The journey was calm and very enjoyable and finished off beautifully with the sun setting under the bridge. Thoroughly recommend this small personal tour.
