We had a great time with Raul on the sunset cruise. He has an excellent style open seating style boat fit for this purpose and is a knowledgeable guide who grew up in Porto. Taking off from Dourado marina in Gaia means a 20-30 minute Uber ride from Porto side but worth the extra effort because you get to see sunset from the mouth of the river.
Excellent trip = most informative and very enjoyable
We booked this trip last minute in March and initially hoped for a late afternoon ride. Raúl was incredibly attentive, keeping us informed about the weather and ensuring we went out at the best and safest time. His communication was excellent throughout. Once on board, Raúl shared fascinating insights about Porto's history, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. He even treated us to a selection of different port wines, which was a wonderful touch! After the tour, Raúl recommended a fantastic restaurant that we absolutely loved. Overall, an amazing experience!
Raul and his team gave a great experience! The boat was beautiful and the wine and treats were delicious. We enjoyed the spectacular view and the warm hospitality. It was great for the kids and they even lowered the sail and allowed the children to captain the boat! I cannot recommend this tour enough!! Thank you, Raul and George!
This tour was AMaZING!! A very special experience for me and my husband! Raul is very kind and personable. He chatted with us about Porto's history and took some amazing pictures! The boat was nice and perfect for a romantic cruise up and down the river. Much more intimate that the large mass tourist boats you see. Highly reccomended.
Raul was the best tour guide. So knowledgeable about Porto, wine, the sailing. We had such an amazing sunset cruise with him- highly recommend!!
The trip was great , we chose to go on the motor boat rather than the sailboat when we realized sailing in the river was less practical and the seats on the motor boat were very comfortable. The captain Raoul and crew are very friendly and informative. Views from the boat of the city were great and we got a chance to go out to the ocean to get a nice perspective. We also got a chance to taste different port wines on the boat. We were given a great recommendation for a seafood resterant a few blocks from the Marina where we had a wonderful meal and great service. I highly recommend this small group trip.
This small group cruise was such a delight! Raul was so fun and kind and took us to some really beautiful spots. The boat was clean and comfortable. And the port we tasted was great! Absolutely recommend this trip!
My family had the opportunity to take the Six Bridges Sunset tour with Captain Raul. It was a beautiful evening and we had 10 of us gathered to enjoy the excursion. Raul and his crew made sure we learned about all the major points of interest along the river in Porto, and we were treated to some delicious local refreshments and enjoyed every minute of our intimate relaxing boating adventure. This is the way to see Porto is a sunset!
What an excellent way to end our vacation. The weather was perfect for a sunset sail. Raul and Jorge were awesome hosts. The port was delicious! Thanks Raul for the suggestion of restaurants. This was so good😍
