We made our own way to Pinhao from Porto (by train) and booked this short cruise from a kiosk at the rail station. You have to walk down the road to the water’s edge where there is a further kiosk where staff point out where to catch the boat from (just a further few minutes walk away). Unfortunately on our cruise 3 people did not understand this and missed the boat. The boat is small but comfortable and holds about 10 people. Our captain and guide were Sergio and Ivo and they were both first class. The commentary given by Ivo (whose English is excellent) was informative and humorous and enhanced the trip. A complimentary drink of port is included - very nice! A great value option at €15 each and I thoroughly recommend.
Fun time! Short and sweet. Guides were informative and fun.
Lovely tour with brilliant hosts and great value for money. Amazing scenery - highly recommend to anyone.
The sceneries are pretty. The guide explained the sites pretty well. The guide stopped at the prettiest site for awhile and turn 365º so everyone can take pictures. We got a free port wine drink along the way. We had a lovely time and really enjoy everything. It's an excellent experience.
The guide Bruno and boat captain Ivo did a great job. Bruno is very informative and attentive and the views were awesome.
Amazing experinace. All staff were so friendly and informative. Would giggly reccomend. If you are in the region you can't miss this!
Ivo and Ze were phenomenal as the guide and captain of the cruise. They were full of information, funny and kind. I highly recommend them.
We enjoyed the one hour cruise on the Duoro. Our guide and captain were knowlegable and friendly. It was nice to be on a small boat with only 7 other tourists.
Beautiful scenery with vineyard terraces. The boat ride lasted about 50 minutes to 1 hour and it was smooth & relaxing. There were about 11-12 of us on the boat and it didn’t feel crowded at all. Thank you to our wonderful guides, Ivo & Ze! They were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the vineyards and the area. I’d highly recommend!
The experience exceeded my expectations for a 50-minute tour; it was fantastic for the price. Excellent professionals Diogo and Kalil Thank you for the experience.
Bruno and Carlos were amazing. Entertaining with knowledge of the area, fun trip. The river and surrounding vineyards were a once in a lifetime experience. We would highly recommend.
Nice, and as mentioned in the web on time good people in the boat good explanation and no more to said
Wonderful trip! Diogo and Bruno were very informative. The scenery was gorgeous. I really enjoyed the boat ride.
We had a lovely boat tour on the Duoro River that included a sample of Port wine. The scenery is breathtaking and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable.
It was an inexpensive short boat trip to give a different perspective on the river. The guides are charming and knowledgeable. The more questions you ask, the more you will get out of the trip.
Ivo was interesting, fun, and very knowledgeable! Ze was a great boat driver.
Ivo and Ze were great hosts. We loved the information and the tour path. Well worth the trip.
Bruno and Diago were very informative and entertaining. They were approachable and answered all our questions. Would do again.
Bruno and diago were awesome. Great way to explore and learn about the area.
Our captain Sergio and tour guide Ivo brought us on a nice, relaxing boat ride on The Duoro River. We learned facts about the area and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Duoro Tours did a great job.
Great 50 min tour with Ivo & Kalil. Friendly and informative. GOOD JOB BOYS! 😁👍
Wonderful experience. Beautiful sites. Not long and boring. Our tour goddess was warm friendly and awesome! We will definitely repeat!
Great boat tour with a port wine glass with Ivo and Simon
We had such a wonderful time on the river for the 50 minute tour. Our tour guide, Ivo and our driver, Sergio were outstanding, telling us interesting history and stories about the vineyards we were seeing and the families or companies that owned and operated them. They also gave us tips on great restaurants and vineyards and viewpoints to visit. And the Port wine they gave us to taste was delicious. The boat was extremely comfortable and was not overcrowded at all. Everyone on the boat had a good location to take photos without obstruction. We took lots of photos and videos. Highly recommended! We enjoyed every minute!
The your was great, better than a different boat tour previously experienced.
Absolutely amazing it was a splendid experience!
Both the boat guide and Simon the tour guide were excellent. I would do the tour again.
Really lovely tour, our guides were Diogo and Kalil! They were fab hosts and shared lots of interesting facts on the valley! Would recommend if your looking for a tour!
Amazing experience! Diogo and Kalil were very kind and knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend!
Bruno is an excellent guide. He has a great sense of humour. He tells about vineries in details. Highly recommended.
We had our tour with Simon who was amazing! Very friendly and informative tour and tried some delicious ports! Would highly recommend!
Very beautiful and relaxing tour on the river with knowledge guide and friendly passengers. There were only 8 of us on board for a pleasant ride that did not feel too long or too short. Free small cup of port included and the option to purchase more or different size bottles. Learned a lot about the area. Recommended.
It was a beautiful tour and very informative .
Wonderful tour - beautiful scenery and excellent guides
Diogo and Bruno fantastic!!! Thankyou ☺️ ☺️
We had a nice 50 minute boat ride with the entertaining Bruno, and our boat captain Diogo. Bruno narrated the tour and was quite informative about the key sights. He also served us a small taste of a local Port wine. The ride was €15pp but if you book in advance you can probably save 1-2 €. It’s not a long ride as 50 minutes go fast, but it was a nice little excursion while in Pinhao. Your meeting point is at the waterfront at he end of the point, where all the boats are docked. VictorB
Amazing! Diogo and Ivo were fantastic!
Simon and Med were great. Simon was our narrator and answered all our questions with great enthusiam. Highly rcommended.
The guides were super nice and make the experiência even better!
Really nice tour, definitely worth the price and the guides were friendly and funny, speaking in both Portuguese and English. We went on the smaller boat that had 6 passengers - it was a perfect size. The boat had the right amount of people so that you could speak with the guide and the others on the tour.
Simon was great, friendly and very knowledgeable. My kids said Simon was very fun and told us about the fish in the river. They said the boat ride was really fun and the best part was that they could ask all the questions they wanted.
The boattour with Bruno and Diogo was a very interesting and funny experience for everyone on the tour. P.S: thanks for the free wine
First and foremost we want to praise our tour guide Crispim. He is a cordial and knowledgeable host. Where he went above and beyond was when our return train to our hotel cancelled without notice. He volunteered to take us there (a 30 minute drive each way)
Both our skipper Diogo and tour guide Bruno were very informative and friendly, it was a interesting experience
It was very nice and relaxing. The guide was good and my whole family enjoyed.
Diego and Kalil were great. Despite the rainy weather, they gave us a lovely experience.
Even though it was rainy guides were super lovely and made the best of the views despite the weather. Also informative and interesting tour overall.
Nice relaxed 50 min tour on Douro with friendly hosts Kalil and José. Perfect time, not too long, enough to get a complete picture of the Douro and the valley with several Estates.
Ivo and Zé were very dear! The trip was spectacular
