Amazing Yacht Tour!
What a wonderful tour on the Douro River! Daniel was an excellent host, explaining the various bridges and other interesting sites along the trip. The boat was clean and very comfortable. The charcuterie board of cured meats and cheeses was great, as was the delicious wine and port.
Daniel was a pleasure to talk with and an all around nice guy. I highly recommend his tour!

Five stars across the board! Pablo and Cristina delivered an unforgettable tour on the Douro River. The hospitality was top-notch, the boat was great, and the touches like chilled vinho verde, a tasty charcuterie board, and finishing with Port wine made it feel special and authentic. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a personalized, high-quality river experience!

Yacht cruise of a lifetime
Excellent experience on July 31, 2026. Booked a private yacht for two and well worth the money. Paulo and Antonio were amazing. It was a two hour cruise that was informative, had excellent wine, port and tapas. Would absolutely book this experience again with these two gentlemen who made it a truly fabulous experience. Thank you both for making a wonderful afternoon very special for your two new Canadian friends Adrian and Maria.

The highlight of our trip to Porto!
Our boat ride during sunset was the highlight of our trip to Porto! The boat was in a pristine condition, we were offered port wine and traditional Portugese food during our time there which was very tasty and fulfilling. We were able to put our own music on the speaker which made the experience even more magical and unforgettable.
The crew, Antonio and Luis, was amazing. They were polite, positive and very social, even suggesting us different places and restaurants to visit in Porto. They became a part of our dancing and we had some very quality conversations with each other.
I would recommend this boat trip to anyone visiting Porto.
