Porto: Tour on the Douro River in a Classic Boat
Description
On this two-hour tour along the Douro River aboard a classic boat, you can admire the beauty of the banks of the city of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia while relaxing with music and the sounds of the surrounding nature. It should be noted that we are the only sailboat to be able to cross the Dom Luis I Bridge, thus allowing a trip from the mouth of the Douro to Freixo passing through the 6 bridges that connect the city of Porto to Vila Nova de Gaia. Despite being a shared experience, our boat has several distinct areas with benches and cushions for your comfort, allowing for a more intimate experience if you so desire. As the name of our boat indicates, come be HAPPY on the Douro.

The trip is lovely, a very gentle pace! The hosts were great, friendly and hospitable. The little tray of nibbles and delicious Douro wine adds a special touch. A fabulous way to see Porto
Ran by the sweetest couple who went above and beyond and made it truly one of the best experiences ever! They provided the cutest spread of snacks including a homemade jam that was out of this world, served drinks of your choice with many options and brought it over in a cute little treasure chest which I thought was so neat, and even provided blankets. At the end there was a surprise photo experience on a little swing over the water which was such a cool experience and they make you feel very safe while doing it. Seriously an experience of a lifetime and I would highly recommend going through them to experience this!
If you want a tour that is a bit more luxurious feel and privacy, this is the one. The charcuterie board, the welcome drink, the hospitality, all amazing!
Best experience we had while traveling in Portugal. Great way to see the beautiful scenery of Porto while relaxing on a “Classic” and charming wooden boat. The owners make it an engaging and luxurious time sailing on the river. They even play perfect music to fit the atmosphere. Would highly this tour for your trip to Porto.
It was a well run tour, with very hospitable and friendly hosts. The husband (captain) and wife (tour guide) made us comfortable and relaxed throughout the tour. We enjoyed drinks and delicious snacks on the boat. The Sunset hammock experience was the highlight of the trip.
Bruna & Alden were wonderful hosts making us comfortable on their boat for our sunset cruise. Their boat is beautiful, and it's the perfect setting to enjoy the beautiful Porto sunset! Everyone passing by on the larger ferry tours were taking our picture- wishing they could join us!
I had an amazing time! The hosts were so welcoming and accommodating. You're given a welcome drink to sip on as you start sailing towards the Ponte Luis bridge. The charcuterie board is prepped and provided while you cruise. I was so excited to try the infamous jam made by the hosts mother! There was someone on board that had allergies and they were able to accommodate and adjust their board as needed. Gentle music plays as you're cruising down the Douro River and the host came out to give us a brief history of Porto and it's many bridges. Other than that, they left me alone to take in the sites which was appreciated. There was a family of 4 with us so me and the other solo traveller stayed back and let them take pictures. When the boat made its way back, the hosts made sure to turn the boat around to ensure we had the chance to take photos with the Ponte Luis bridge. It's just those little details that made the experience so much better. I'll definitely be recommending this experience to everyone I know. I can't wait to come back to Porto to do this again!
Excellent time. The captain and his mate were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended. Snacks and drinks were a welcome treat as well.
Absolutely fabulous experience that we have now done a few times and will do again. Guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and the views were of course stunning. Highly recommended.
Lovely sunset cruise, great service with drinks and a delicious charcuterie board. Thank you for the memories!
