Perfect Sunset Hen-Do Celebration - Absolutely fantastic experience with Naugit for a private hen-do boat trip! We cruised the Douro River at sunset, taking in the beautiful scenery of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
The setting created a truly magical atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing and memorable celebration, to toast our bride.
Sara and Joao were incredibly friendly and attentive.
If you're looking for a special way to celebrate in Porto, I can't recommend Naugit highly enough!
