If you're visiting the Douro Valley, this tour is an absolute must. The views are nothing short of breathtaking — rolling vineyards, shimmering river bends, and that golden Portuguese light that makes everything feel a little enchanted.The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole day feel relaxed and special. Lunch was wonderful,....And the lock experience… unforgettable. Watching the boat rise inside those massive stone walls was surreal — one of those moments that stays with you long after the trip ends. Truly magical from start to finish.
An excellent day trip. Tour guide was very good. The atmosphere was warm, everyone seemed in good spirits. A great way to see Porto. The Landscape was breathtaking.

You start the day with a 6 Hour River Cruise and then ride the bus to return to Porto/Gaia. The company does a good job communicating the starting point of the tour by sending a link with GPS directions. This is very convenient for those of us not familiar with Porto. Check in took approximately 30 minutes, but your party has an assigned table, so it doesn't matter if you are first or last in line. Breakfast is rolls with butter and jelly. Lunch is very robust and enjoyable with a meat offering, potatoes and vegetables and dessert. Both meals include orange juice and there is wine, coffee and water. You can also purchase other drinks on board. The tour takes you through 2 locks on the river. If you have never been through one before it is a very interesting process to watch. The announcements are in a number of languages, so when they are talking about an old castle coming up, it's hard to tell when it will actually appear. However, the scenery is stunning and the river is beautiful. Lunch was very good and the atmosphere is very fun.

Great tour, boat in good condition, however, need to improve the cleaning of the bathrooms during the trip, are only 2 and there were about 120 passengers. The little coffee was suitable with concentrated juice and coffee and milk available, bread and croissant. Lunch with a bottle of wine per reservation which for us 2 was enough, served steamed meat with vegetables and potatoes which was very tasty. Only missing activities after lunch pq are almost 3 hours to get to Peso da Régua which gets a little boring. But it's an amazing journey, with wonderful landscapes and passing through two ecluses. We arrived around 16:00 and the exit was scheduled for 16:30, so we didn't have time to see anything about the city. The return was in a comfortable bus leaving us right after passing the bridge of Gaia. A tour for those who will stay many days in Porto pq is very long, about 10 hours without much news along the route.

Maru was our tour guide during our first trip to Portugal and she was exceptional! We enjoyed the tour itself, but also got a good feel for Portugal both historically and currently. Thank you, Maru! We certainly would recommend this to everyone!

Excellent tour! The attention of the crew and the service teams, with a focus on the staff of waiters and waiters, is attentive to every detail from breakfast to lunch, passing through the tasting of the excellent and good Porto wine. As a suggestion, I suggest placing a small panel from Cais da Estiva to identify the place of shipments because only those of the competition stand out.
