Beautiful city of Porto and sunset unique!! - We made our first boat trip of the year and we loved it. We climb the river Douro and visit the six bridges and the beautiful river of Porto and Gaia. Hostile and very informative guide on the contemporary history of the city of Porto and Gaia, always helpful. During the trip were served different Porto wines and especially I loved the white called teagrima. Single sunset. Even though the cold felt, warm blankets were provided for us to warm up. January 1, 2025 fantastic --a memory for a lifetime :)

Delightful sunset boat ride - Raúl and George were perfect, with Raúl being the main conversationalist, photographer, and drink provider. He was knowledgeable and friendly, and perfectly understood when to give us a chance to have to have time to ourselves and when to hang out with us. The ride itself was lovely, his attention to detail was so appreciated, and we would recommend him to anyone.

Worth it! - What an amazing boat trip on the river! Raúl was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide who created a comfortable and flexible personalized experience for us. The weather was on the chillier side, and he provided plenty of blankets, pillows, and unique Port wine for us to drink throughout the journey. He knew all the history of the city and was able to answer any questions we had as we went down the river and back. We ended the ride at the mouth of the river, looking at the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean—I would highly recommend taking this tour!

Picture postcard perfect Porto! Must book! - We have a very strict policy when it comes to engaging hired guide guides on our travels throughout the world. Our family travels extensively and makes use of local tours almost every place we go (usually two or three international destinations per year).
However, we departed from one of our sacrosanct rules by booking this trip with Raul despite there being only 10 reviews, as that does not meet our standard of statistical significance (even though all 10 reviews were excellent!).
Having done our tour today for a big group of five adults and four children, I am thrilled to report it was a complete five star experience! Raul led an informative, relaxed and postcard-perfect tour of the Douro and the six bridges. The wines he served were an unexpected delight, adding another element of joy to the immensely pleasurable experience out on his Lady Moon boat!
We returned to the marina high on Porto, and full of the contemporary history of the city and surroundings courtesy of Raul. We could not have asked for anything more (other than the presence of our two missing guests who could not make it).
We happily endorsed this tour to anyone, considering it (even those wary of error due to low sample size!)

Fantastic sunset! - I booked the six bridges cruise at sunset time I had a fantastic experience. The area of Ribeira de Gaia and the port view from the boat are unique. The river is narrow and you can observe the shore and all the beauty of the city. I had the opportunity to taste different Porto wines and note 5 for the Rose — I had never tried. The sunset was fantastic. Worth every moment. I recommend without hesitation!

Unfortunate experience, but made the best of it. - We actually did not experience this excursion due to delayed international flight and missing the flight to Porto. We communicated with the Tour Guide and requested to start the tour later. It was not possible due to sunset time, but he tried to accommodate us by rebooking the next day. Unfortunately, we did not have time during our short stay but he agreed to give us a 50% discount. We appreciate him and Viator Working with us even though it was an unfortunate situation. We hope to return one day and experience this highly rated river cruise.

Great tour! - I was a little dubious of the 5-star rating since there weren't many reviews but this was a great boat tour. My wife and I took the tour with another couple who we were travelling with. We opted for the morning tour and we were the only ones so it ended up being private. Some people will prefer a longer or shorter tour but 2 hours was just right for us. Also, the seating was comfortable. A lot of tours that we looked at didn't look promising in that respect, based on their photos. In addition, the port tasting was more than we expected. We thought it would just be a "welcome drink" but, if I remember correctly, Raul gave us four different ones. He had a lot to say about each one, more than the alleged sommelier in the tasting room that we had visited the day before. All in all, a very enjoyable tour and good value for money.

Perfect Sunset Cruise!! - We were so fortunate to find this sunset cruise at the last minute! Our host, Roald, Dores, was fantastic! His boat was beautiful, and he was such the perfect host. He also served us the most wonderful port drinks.

Sunset tour - We did the sunset tour with Rajul. First of all the boat was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Rajul shared some great facts about the city and the view from the boat was amazing. We also got to taste four different port wines during the tour! If you are visiting Porto, I would definitely recommend this experience.
