Ricardo’s team was excellent! They were kind and informative! The cruise was beautiful and the sunset was breathtaking. It was like cruising with family!

We took this 2 hour Douro River cruise to get a little river cruise time in during a short stay trip to Porto. Francisco & Kennedy were a fabulous team. We had delicious wine, Rose and Port, while cruising the river. Francisco is native to Porto and provided great information and explanation of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. It was a wonderful experience.

The two captains were great. Very welcoming and made it enjoyable. It was great to hang out on the front of the boat—they had big cushions and served a couple of good Port drinks
