Amazing boat tour, teen approved! - Kind, fun hosts with deep knowledge of Porto history. The husband-wife team were amazing guides and were attentive to our family and answering our questions and sharing the rich history of Porto with us. They also provided fantastic drinks and snacks as we enjoyed the beautiful sites on our tour of the river. Our two teen girls also enjoyed it and said it was one of their favorite activities. Highly recommend seeing Porto from this cruise!

An amazing evening - What a great experience. Nadia and Paulo were the perfect hosts, caring for all our needs in an exceptionally warm and friendly way. Beautiful cruise up the river past all the bridges then out into the ocean for the sunset. Drinks and snacks were promptly served. A truly magical evening. This tour is not to be missed. Highly recommended.

A breathtaking and memorable way to see Porto - This was the highlight of our 18 day trip to Spain and Portugal! The ship was well run and cute, Nadia did a great job of taking care of us with tapas and wine, and the views were breathtaking to say the least! I would book this again in a heartbeat!

5 Stars! - Thank you, Nadia and Paolo, for an unforgettable experience cruising the Douro River! Nadia was an exceptional host - warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about her beautiful city of Porto. Drinks and snacks were a lovely bonus, and Paulo gave us a smooth, relaxing ride while being just as hospitable. There’s no better way to do a river cruise than this - and to top it all off, my husband and I ended up with a completely private tour with just the two of us (which was the cherry on top). Absolutely perfect!

Best way to see Porto! - Nadia & Paulo are kind and generous hosts! My husband and I spent a beautiful afternoon with them cruising the Douro River in their small boat. Nadia seamlessly switched between English and Portuguese, providing explanations for us and the other couple. We enjoyed drinks and snacks and she brought us blankets when it got cooler outside. Forget the big boats - this tour is the way to see Porto through the eyes of local who clearly loves the city.
