5.00A really great way to start an adventure in Porto. 2 glasses of vino verdhe, and 2 glasses of port was also a great start to our day! Our two guides, Marcello (from Chile) and Luca (from Brazil) were full knowledge and wisdom and probably know more about the Duoro, Porto, the wines and the history than your average Porto citizen! Thanks Guys, we had fun.

5.00Fantastic crew of Luca and Sancha. All guests were wonderful, but the beauty of being on the river and the fun of all the port wine was a blast of a combination. Not too long, but plenty of time to chat and enjoy the wine and companionship.

Lovely boat cruise in Porto 🍷

5.00We had a great time on this boat cruise in Porto! 🌉 It was a lovely way to see the city from a different perspective and enjoy Porto's beautiful riverside scenery. 🍷 The cruise offered wonderful views of the city, the bridges, and the colourful waterfront. The three wine tastings were very enjoyable and provided a nice introduction to local Portuguese wines, while the snacks were a welcome addition and complemented the experience well. The atmosphere on board was friendly and welcoming. Sitting back, taking in the views, and spending quality time together as a family made for a memorable part of our trip. 🚤 We would recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Porto. It's a relaxing and enjoyable way to experience the city and was a great addition to our stay.

3.00Nice boat and nice guide, however the tour was not 2 hours and there were no snacks (1 mini chocolate). Very unfortunate.
Excellent Boat Tour

5.00Everything was perfect, good tour, nice boat, good wine, nice snacks. My only complaint is that we tried to call them several times the day before and no one picked up the phone. Other than that, everything was perfect. Avoid buying food at the cafe/bar in the marinia. Took forever to arrive and it was not worth waiting for.
Perfect sunset cruise
