Porto Morning River Tour
Incredible experience, and highly recommended! We opted for the 10 a.m. tour over the sunset option and it was the best decision. The water was calm, not as crowded and such a peaceful experience. The charcuterie board was fresh and our tour guides were the sweetest couple and spoke multiple languages. The boat was impeccably clean and I would definitely repeat the experience and recommend to all.
Operator response
Thank you so much, Jasmin! We’re delighted you chose the morning cruise and felt exactly what makes that time of day so special , calm water, fewer boats and a slower, more peaceful Douro. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Beautiful sunset boat trip
Amazing sunset boat trip. Nadia and Paulo were attentive hosts. Boat was very comfortable, and we had welcome drinks and lovely snacks. Attention to detail was super! We booked for our wedding anniversary - a private trip, it was a very special evening.
Beautiful scenery and sunset over the sea...would 100% recommend.

Douro - very peaceful and personal!
Nadya and her husband offered us a wonderful evening on your beautiful boat: 2.5 hours, first towards Porto and ending on the ocean with a view of the sunset. Nadya told us a lot, took care of the 3 of us warmly, the snacks were great and the blankets warm - a perfect evening!
Operator response
Was für eine Freude zu wissen, dass ihr eine wahrhaft traumhafte Nacht mit uns erlebt habt! Solche Erfahrungen inspirieren uns und lassen uns noch mehr lieben, was wir tun. In Richtung Hafen zu segeln und mit dem Sonnenuntergang im Ozean zu enden, ist immer magisch, und wir freuen uns zu wissen, dass jedes Detail – von den Snacks bis zu den kuscheligen Decken – dazu beigetragen hat, alles noch spezieller zu machen. Es war ein Vergnügen, Geschichten zu teilen, euch mit Liebe zu betreuen und das Gefühl zu haben, dass wir gemeinsam eine Erinnerung geschaffen haben, die bewahrt bleibt. Vielen Dank für eure Anwesenheit und die Worte – wir hoffen, euch an Bord für weitere unvergessliche Momente wiederzusehen! 🚤✨ Mit Liebe, Paulo & Nadia

Wonderful Experience!
The hosts were amazing and treated you like family. The grandma made wonderful jams to compliment the bread, cheese, and meat platter. The hosts allowed us to understand the history and pride that exists within each town in Porto. Finally the landscape was beautiful. We feel fortunate to have experienced the tour. We finished the tour with a picture of our hosts and my daughter Emma.
Operator response
Dear Derek,
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure to welcome you and your lovely daughter Emma aboard our boat, Almadouro.
We’re so glad to hear that you felt at home with us — that’s exactly the experience we hope to create for everyone who joins our tour. It means a lot to know you appreciated the homemade jams from Grandma, the local flavors, and the stories behind the beautiful towns along the Douro.
We’re honored to have been part of a special moment for you and Emma, and we hope the memories (and the photo!) stay with you both for years to come.
Warm regards,
Nadia & Paulo
Almadouro Team

A must during your stay in Porto
Nadia and Paulo were amazing hosts ! My husband and I did the private sunset tour . There is multiple different companies that offer the river cruise tours . However Nadia and Paulo were so welcoming and personable . We received a welcome drink and a snack that was made my Nadia’s mom , so it felt like we were cruising with friends rather than a tour guide. Nadia also gave us a lot of recommendations for things to do in Porto from a locals perspective. You will not regret booking a tour with them ❤️
Operator response
Hi Jodie and James, Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved having you on board for our private sunset tour. We really appreciated your friendliness and infectious energy. We really hope to welcome you back in the future! 😊 Paulo and Nadia

It has been an unforgettable experience. My partner was speechless and excited by the romantic walk. I advise you without a doubt. Paulo is also very friendly and full of details.
Operator response
Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras! Nos alegra saber que la experiencia fue tan emotiva y especial para su mujer. Muchas gracias por recomendar nuestros servicios y espero verle pronto (un cocido gallego en Santiago con el amigo Jesús es una idea....!)
