Nice walk, peaceful along the coasts if however the other passengers respect the calm of the water. - Easy to park in mid season anyway. Departure near the bridge. Little paved road along the Pinaho Bridge

Nice somewhat noisy trip. - It was a beautiful trip! We thought we would get some information about the Douro Valley during the trip, but it turned out that we should have asked for the audio app ourselves. Unfortunately there was a family with children on the boat running back and forth and making noise, which was a shame. Other than that, we enjoyed it.

Improve the distribution of seats on the boat. Not anything. - I was disappointed in the shipment. Since the seats were not numbered, they were pushed in, the loudest or large groups pushed to get in first. Absolute lack of civility. They looked like kids coming to get candy. Unfortunate.

The River Speaks for Itself - The Rabelo Boat tour did not live up to our expectations. No one talked about the boat itself and the historic significance..we could have been on any mode of transportation on the Douro. The highly touted audio guide failed . The scenic beauty is undeniable; 2 hours on the river is just right.

No tour involved. Very boring. - The scenery itself was beautiful, but there was no tour. The men on the boat passed around a paper with a QR code to scan for an app that told you about certain things on the tour. It was essentially 2 hours of silence. It was very boring.
