Susana and her husband were fantastic hosts. Provided interesting information about Porto, great snacks and drinks. Music and atmosphere were perfect. We were lucky with weather, and for 5 girlfriends it was a beautiful introduction to the city. We would highly recommend the evening cruise.
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure sharing our beloved Porto with you ladies! Your kind words mean the world to us. We hope to welcome you back on board one day! ❤️ Susana & Sergio
Susana and Sergio are fabulous hosts. We had a private tour. Susana is very knowledgeable about the history of Porto and such a great guide. It was a gorgeous afternoon with a bit of wind. It was a fantastic way to see Porto. Light snacks, and wine were served making this a memorable experience we will highly recommend.

Susanna and Sergio are great hosts, very knowledgeable and catered to all requests. They provided a lot of insights about the bridges and landmarks in Porto. The wine and charcuterie board had a great assortment. Also great with children.

Absolutely wonderful experience with the private boat tour with SS Amazing Duoro!! A perfect way to learn about the history of the bridges and sights along the river. The 4 of us (2 adults, a teenager and a 9 year old) had so much fun! The boat is extremely comfortable, the food and drinks are delicious, and Susana and Sergio are incredibly gracious and knowledgeable guides. The other group tour boats we saw on the water do not compare to the comfort and enjoyment of the SS Amazing Duoro tour. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you will love it!
