Amazing - What an amazing evening. Loved seeing Porto/Giai from a different perspective. Our guide pointed out and explained the area to us very well. Lovely touch with the welcome drink and offering us blankets when it started getting chilly. Seeing the sunset just top off an awesome trip. Highly recommend

Relax and see beautiful Portofrom the Douro River - We enjoyed a relaxing cruise of Porto - felt like we were on a boat with old friends having a chat and a drink. A fantastic way to get context of the city, see it from a unique vantage point and take a break from walking the hills!

Wonderful boat tour - We really enjoyed the sunset boat tour. It was a small group so everyone was guaranteed to get a great view. The crew was very attentive. We got to see Porto from the river and watch the sunset out in the sea. Highly recommended!

Best part of the trip!!! - My favorite part of our whole trip so far! My cousin and I had a great time on the sunset Douro River Cruise!! Everything was well communicated, tour guide reached out ahead of time to ensure we knew where exactly to meet, tour started on time, perfect setup (even for a shared tour) we all got to see various views of the bridges and sunset. Seeing some of the other packed boats, I didn’t know what to expect, but the small group of 8-10 people total was the perfect size. Anselmo gave background and explanations for all the bridges and the surrounding neighborhoods, and ensured everyone was enjoying themselves. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Porto and wanting to cruise down the river for a couple hours!

Fabulous time!! Informative, peaceful and stunning view. Highly recommended! - Exceptional! Arthur and the young women (sadly, forgot her name) were friendly and inviting. She was informative and graceful and accommodating. We enjoyed the boat and the ride and the time to view the sun go down! Amazing experience. Our best excursion so far! Wine and drinks were enjoyed and we brought our own light snacks which she plates for us. Over and above our expectations. We will highly recommend using your company again❤️ Abrigada!

The best way to see the city - Loved our sunset cruise with the team here. We were greeted warmly and the crew took care to make sure we comfortable at all points. Looking up at the bridges and banks with a glass of wine in hand was magical, then heading out to sea to chase the sun past the horizon was just a nice chef's kiss to the afternoon. We had great conversation along the way and had many good photo opportunities. I would highly recommend this crew and experience to anyone.

Great sunset cruise - Great experience overall. Boat is a sailboat with a high mast which can’t go under bridges- it’s not the right boat for you if you want a bridge tour. The captain and service mate were both terrific, and helped me get on and off (I am a little phobic about such things)! Nice drinks, reasonable cost, and a port shot to finish the trip. The sunset is great and the captain knows just how to maximize the views.
