Great Little Cruise at great value - Awesome 1hr trip on the solar powered boat. Don’t let the electric name fool you, we went the same speed as the other boats in the River, and had no smell or engine noise. Our hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the River and we were treated to two different wines.

Fantastic tour with excellent tour guides amidst fantastic vistas of the Douro valley - The whole trip was perfect. Very nice to have an electric boat without the disturbing sound of a regular boat engine. Small boat with limited number of guests made it very cosy. We tested two excellent wines. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information surrounding production of wines etc whch made it more enjoyable. Sourroundings were magical and were taken upsteram with less traffic and where it is not possbile to go without a boat. Beautiful scenery. All in all the trip was relaxing and had a nice vibe to the whole experience.

Duoro river cruise - Lovely trip up the Duoro River, the host was entertaining and engaging and kept us all smiling with great knowledge of the local area. The two wines we tasted were excellent, a white wine which was crisp light and dry and then a fortified red wine which was equally delicious. The added bonus was that the electric boat was very green.

Informative and relaxing. Beautiful scenery, great wine. - Really recommend this trip! We took the scenic train from Porto at 1.20pm, had a late lunch in Pinhao, and then enjoyed this tranquil trip along the Douro. The 2 wines, the commentary from our host in both English and French, and the wonderful scenery all gave us a perfect last day in Portugal.

Peaceful ride on the Douro - This was a lovely, peaceful boat ride on the scenic Douro River. The best part was the relative quiet and cleanliness of the solar powered motor. No noisy engine and fumes! Got to taste some delicious wine and learn a little about the area as well. It was sometimes a bit difficult to hear the co-captain’s comments as she did not use any speaker. Go for the peace, not for an educational experience. Enjoy!
