Pleasant - Good plan to go with the family. We chose the short tour and just enough for the little ones. Maybe longer they would have been heavy.

Beautiful River ride - We had a nice time enjoying the river and all the wineries and the boat was very nice. It gives you a nice little taste of the area without going on for too long.

Nice walk in the Douro - Tour made in the Douro on a rabello boat. Amazing views, friendly and friendly staff. Lack of information during the tour, as no communication is made throughout the tour and so we do not know what we are visiting / seeing.

Beautiful landscape - Beautiful walk through the river Douro, the landscapes are worth the tour, an hour passed quickly. No boarding Service was offered. Well-organized boat, comfortable chairs

Not good with timing - There was a delay of 10 minutes on starting the trip. On the end we were waiting for a time compensation but it ended 5 minutes earlier. In a one hour trip 15 minutes makes a difference.

Find another boat tour. - Terrible experience. When purchasing a ticket, sales rep clearly communicated that an app would not be downloaded. Upon boarding the boat, the captain said the only way to hear the audio was to download an app. Watching the other guests that downloaded the app, no one was listening 10 minutes into the trip due to the poor quality and the multiple languages everyone was listening to on their speakers. Clear waste of money and time.

Scam - Nice scam. 12,50 € for 30 minutes, go 30 minutes. Time return. Audio guide to download to your phone or it only tells you about properties in Porto owned by big companies with no history on the history of Douro on the history in general. Nothing interesting. Nothing cultural, too bad
