Perfect Porto Cruise - What an amazing experience! Picking a river cruise can feel daunting, but Susanna and Serge made it easy — they’re friendly, full of local insight, and clearly love what they do. Seeing the city from the river gives you a whole new appreciation for it. I’d highly recommend this to anyone!

Fantastic private boat trip with Susana and Sergio! - Good wine, good food and good company! We had rainy weather that day but we still made the most of our time on the boat. Susana and Sergio offered to refund us because of the weather but we decided to go ahead with our trip and we’re so happy we did. They really took care of us. You can tell they care about their guests and the experiences they have.

5 ladies from the States highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ - Our private tour was fabulous. Very relaxing and informative. Our hosts were so gracious that you felt like friends rather than strangers. It was truly the best of our tours. Very easy to get to. Tapas had a great selection along with the wine. We are so happy we selected this intimate option rather than any of the others. Highly recommend. The 5 ladies from the States.

Beautiful Sunset Cruise - We booked the six bridges sunset tour with tapas and port and it was an absolute delight. Our tour guides, Susana and Sérgio, were excellent hosts making us feel right at home. Their boat was immaculately clean and comfortable. The tapas selection was delicious with a glass of port to cap off the evening - perfection! We would highly recommend their tours to everyone!

Wonderful Douro River boat tour - Susanna and her husband made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped onto their boat. Susanna speaks very good English and was very informative as to the sights we were seeing along the way. The wine and “snacks” (beautiful charcuterie board) were wonderful!! We felt like old friends by the end of our journey. Thank you Susana and Sergio for a wonderful time!
