Our cruise in Porto was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and that’s all thanks to Jose Pina and the incredible captain duo! From the moment we stepped on board, we felt welcomed, relaxed, and completely taken care of. The views were absolutely breathtaking , Porto from the water is pure magic but what made the experience unforgettable was the energy and teamwork of the captains. The captain duo complemented each other perfectly. One brought such calm confidence and knowledge, while the other added warmth, humor, and fun to every moment. Together, they created the perfect balance that made everyone feel comfortable and entertained throughout the cruise. You could genuinely see how well they work together, and their passion for what they do shines through in every detail. They showed us the most stunning views, shared great stories, and made the entire experience feel personal and special rather than just another tour. Watching the sunset over Porto with their expert guidance and hospitality was something we’ll never forget. If you’re considering a cruise in Porto, don’t hesitate, book with Jose Pina and his amazing team. An unforgettable experience with the best captains you could ask for!
Jose and Gonzalo were knowledge and fun. We enjoyed our time on the Douro. They made it memorable with many laughs.
Wow what a wonderful trip! We loved sailing on the river around historic Porto. Our guides were so knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend going with this company.
Best part of our holiday do not miss! Our captain Jose was brilliant. It was just us two on the whole boat and the journey was very relaxing. We could sit where we wanted on the boat and they provided a range of drinks and snacks. We could pick our music or let them chose. When the brease picked up they gave us blankets. They even have us a surprise gift at the end. Lovely commentary and really friendly crew. The views were beautiful. By far the best boat trip in porto, cannot recommend enough.
We absolutely loved this! José and Thomas were wonderful, the boat was lovely and the scenery beautiful. José could not have been more attentive (and makes a delicious port tonic). He also narrated our trip down the river, giving us interesting points on history, local politics and Portuguese culture. I highly recommend this tour!
It was a pleasure to welcome you and to be able to meet your expectations. We hope to see you again soon, thank you. Equipa Rodanitours
