A highlight of our trip in Porto! - Our family (2 adults, 2 children 11 and 12) had a wonderful experience on our boat tour of Porto. Danny was our guide and was friendly and knowledgeable. It felt like we had known him for years! Not only did we learn about the 6 bridges and other notable places, we were also encouraged to ask questions. Any place we pointed out Danny knew all about it! He also had some great anecdotes and we were very entertained, always smiling and laughing. Since our children had a little experience driving boats, he allowed them to take the wheel (supervised of course) and they really enjoyed it. At one time, we brought the boat over to someone fishing and he asked how long he had been there and we got to see what he had caught. Danny also suggested we contact him for any questions or recommendations during the rest of our stay. We highly recommend this tour to experience the best of Portuguese hospitality!

1: We got upgraded to a... - 1: We got upgraded to a bigger boat. There are 2 seating area with cup holding tables. Neat setting and clean floor. 2: Paolo and Christina were very friendly and kept offering us green wine, water and almonds. The organic green wine was very refreshing and we almost finished one whole bottle. The almonds were so tasty and crispy..... best almonds ever. 3: Paolo did some commentary on bridges and Porto city. And he gave recommendations on port wine and sea food also, which was much appreciated. He took pictures for us family with professional view. 4: the whole journey took 2 hours. We enjoyed the breeze and sunshine, with the music ( yes, you can play your own music by their JBL speaker!) I would like to recommend to take this cruise, enjoy more Porto from the river!

Incomparable! - We feel so blessed to be able to tour this beautiful ancient river coastline with our thoughtful and kind tour guide, Paulo! Our wish we would be to tour the river every chance we get and Paulo would be our tour guide each time! The Duoroboatman company could not have chosen a better captain! Thank you, from our whole family, for the unforgettable journey and good time this afternoon!

Incredible Private Tour - Incredible private tour with Bernardo and Mafalda. We had a bunch of questions and Bernardo was so knowledgeable and entertaining. This is the best way for groups of four to see the beauty of Porto and it's bridges.
