A Great Experience on the River

5.00My wife and I did a day trip taking the train from Porto to Pinhao. If you do this site on the right side of the train for a great view of the Duro river. The tour itself was a really great experience that provided a high level overview of the history of the port wine industry and history of the Duro valley. The guides were fun and informative and provide a sip of Porte wine on the tour. We booked the tour a week in advance The tour launch point is a short walk from the train station. There is a resturants near the launch area, but feel free to explore the local restaurants along the strip. It can be very hot and the train station has no AC. Make sure to use sun screen and carry extra water. Also bring a few euros to leave a tip for the guides for their great work!

5.00Excellent river cruise. If you just want a taster this is the right length. Ivo and Tegmno were great hosts - very informative. The port was a nice touch.
We went on an hour boat tour and the views were incredible, the guides were very good and nice. The wine was so good.

5.00It was fun and the ride was peaceful and amazing. Good pricing. The visit was the amount it was supposed to be which was nice because sometimes other places rush us but this company was perfect. The guides on the boat were Diogo and Kalil, 5 stars each
