Great way to experience Porto! Worth every cent... - So lovely to drink in the history of Porto with a gentle boat trip. Pedro is a passionate local and has so much knowledge to share about his home city. The trip was exactly as described though it completely exceeded our expectations. Thanks again to Pedro and his family!

A great, personal way to see the city! - This was such a great way to see this beautiful city and not be surrounded by a bunch of other people- just be with your own friends and family. Pedro and Eduardo were both terrific!

Idyllic experience!!!! WOW 🤩 - We were taken care of by a lovely couple and were surprised to be alone on the boat. They agreed to postpone our cruise until the next day, even though we were the only participants! What service!!! Superb, very clean boat. We could walk there as we pleased. What an incredible time as a couple we had! Wine in abundance, possibility of putting on our own music, respect for our privacy. And what a breathtaking view of Porto and its 6 bridges! To then go up the river to the sea gates at sunset. A magical moment! In all sincerity, it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve done in my life! You can't go to Porto without doing this activity, and I undoubtedly recommend this young, very professional company! We felt safe at all times!

Fantastic! - A fantastic day out on the Douro - we did 4 hours mid-day and the crew served lunch. Everybody was friendly and the scenery was beautiful.

Best private yacht tour on the Douro - There’s lots of private boat tours you can choose from in Porto. Choose this one on the Douro. Pedro is one of the ONLY local tour guides. Born and raised on in Porto - the difference between someone spitting out a script and someone who actually has generations of knowledge about the local area to draw from The vessel is great. Not too small not too big. You can also move around from the relaxing aft deck where you can hookup your own music via Bluetooth, the bow with cushions and views all around or move up to the level above the cockpit for the best all around pictures. The guides were also incredibly knowledgeable. They were so flexible and asked what we wanted for the tour. They are open to accommodating just about any kind of tour you want. Many nice touches from passing out blankets when we cruised through a cool patch to waters (disclaimer - not sure if this is included or we just got lucky) They really want to offer a great experience and grow their offering and we could feel it. Much different from employees giving the tour and just ‘punching the clock’. Thanks Pedro and crew - a tour our family will never forget.

Beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. - Lovely sunset private boat cruise (only four of us) with a really polite crew. Gin and tonics, as well as cheese and crackers, were available. The crew gave us blankets when the night grew chilly. We made it to all of the bridges and all the way to the sun setting. Much appreciation to Sylvia and the skipper.

Excellent way to spend a Sunday morning, 5 star family trip - We booked the 10am private cruise and was met by Pedro and his partner spot on time. Pedro is local to the Gaia area and we were in for a treat in terms of both a relaxing time but also an excellent guide who knew everything about the area (and then some). Our 8 year old went all over the yacht but nothing was too much for the hosts, in fact they encouraged him to explore safely (families, take note of the high hand rails around the yacht, excellent safety compared to others). Our 8 old even took a rest in the bedroom while mum and dad enjoyed a chilled white portwine in the sun). Family run business with a personal touch and a 5 star experience.
