This is a great two spent... - This is a great two spent on the river. Got some history from our guide, and had some great port and appetizers along the ride. Perfect for a couple… we lucked out and were the only folks on the boat. Highly recommend this as a great intro to Porto.

Great afternoon - We had a great time on this cruise. The two guys - Alfonso and his mate were knowledgeable, chatty and careful with the boat. Enjoyed port and wine. The nibbles were rather ordinary but it was a relaxing 2 hours. Highly recommend it.

See the city from the river! Love the intimate setting! - What a beautiful way to experience Porto! It gave us many ideas of places we’d like to visit. They had blankets to help us when the fog rolled in. The wine and tapas were a perfect addition. We very much enjoyed the crew, who would point out beautiful landmarks and tell us about them.

Great way to see the city! - The trip along the Douro River and out to the Atlantic was awesome. Miguel and team were excellent. Miguel did a great job explaining what we were sailing past and answering our questions about the city.
My only suggestions, not sure I would say Wine & Tapas included… we had two port tastings and a bowl of chips & nuts…
Would do it again but next time bringing my own wine

Best ending to our Porto trip! - What an incredible experience. We were a family of four (two kids 12 and 8) and could not have asked for a better ending to our three day trip in Porto. There was one additional family of four with us. It felt like we had a private boat with music, snacks, port, and an excellent guide in Miguel and captain in Zne. They were so sweet to our children and kept them involved throughout the two hours. There are toilets on board, also recommend bringing a light jacket as it can get windy.

Nice perspective of Porto - Great way to experience the sunset in Porto. We were lucky with the weather and it was a relaxing experience with a small group and nice wine. The tapas were just a few bowls of chips with cheese so either take some food or have something before hand. I wasn’t expecting too much due to it being an extra and not why I chose the tour.
It was our first night in Porto and it gave a diverse perspective of the city/cities.

Porto Boat trip - This trip was disappointing. The departure point is not in Porto but in Gaia I hadn’t realised at the time of booking was on the other side of the river so we had to take an Uber to get to it. It was I initially advertised as boat trip with tapas and wine, that’s what I thought I was getting when I booked. It later changed to wine and snacks. The snacks consisted of a small ball of crisps and nuts and such - nothing like the tapas I initially hoped for. The wine was free flowing so I have no complaints about that. There was very little information or commentary shared about Porto or sights from the river. The boat was nice, the weather was pleasant, it was more intimate than other boat trips so we got to chat with other couples on the trip who were lovely. But for me and my partner, im sorry to say, the trip itself was very average.
