Wonderful 🤩

We took the boat tour through Porto to see the six bridges and it was simply incredible! 🚤✨ Seeing Porto from this perspective made the experience even more special — and we were very lucky with the weather, which was wonderful! The two captains were fantastic, super nice and welcoming to us and, above all, to our dog Nuwa 🐶❤️. We felt very welcome throughout the tour. Having the private experience made all the difference and made the tour much more unique, peaceful, and personalized. We highly recommend! A beautiful and unmissable experience for those who want to know Porto in a different way. 🇵🇹✨

Five star service

Went on a lovely sunset tour with Antonio and Francisco. They were very warm and welcoming and full of knowledge about their city and recommendations for us to do to make our visit more enjoyable. They to took the time to answer our questions, the boat was clean, the drinks flowed and the sunset was beautiful. They stopped the boat so we can see the water turn a beautiful gold and even took a picture with us at the end. Would highly recommend them.

Amazing experience – highly recommended!

We took a private boat tour and it was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip. The boat was very comfortable and well maintained, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. The tour was done at our own pace, with complete flexibility, which made all the difference. We had time to take in the views and simply enjoy the moment, away from the crowds. The skippers were extremely professional, attentive, and knowledgeable about the area, sharing interesting information and suggesting the best spots. We always felt safe and very well taken care of. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a peaceful, personalized, and memorable outing. We would definitely do it again without hesitation!

Unforgettable experience!

This is an amazing way to get up close and personal with historic Porto and Villa de Gaia! The price can’t be beat for having a private experience (especially when you pass all the other tourists boats FULL of people). The staff was so sweet and kind and the glass of champagne was the cherry on top! Extremely memorable experience all around!

Fabulous!

If you’re in Porto and even thinking about a sunset boat cruise — do it, and make it private. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. We set off along the Douro just as the golden hour kicked in, and the views were unreal — the city glowing, the bridges silhouetted against the sunset, and boats drifting past in the most relaxed, dreamy atmosphere. It honestly felt like something out of a film. The crew were absolutely lovely — so welcoming, friendly, and fun without ever being over the top. They made the whole experience feel effortless and special from start to finish. And the little touches made it even better: chilled champagne in hand, great company, and being able to play our own music through the Bluetooth system just took it to another level. It turned into our own floating sunset party. Perfect for groups, celebrations, or just treating yourself to something memorable — I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Porto without hesitation. 10/10 experience ✨🍾
