It was an amazing experience! 100% recommended. I went with my colleagues from work and we had an amazing time. The boatmen are super nice, the views were incredible and the boat was comfortable. The wine provided really good too

We had an incredible experience on our private boat tour of the Douro River! Cláudio was not only an excellent guide, but also very friendly and welcoming. His knowledge of the city’s history and landmarks added so much to the journey, making it both relaxing and informative. It was a great way to see the city from the water.
We even enjoyed a lovely port tonic, which was a great touch! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the city from a different perspective and learn more about the city. Thank you Douro Captain!
