Porto: Douro Cruise On A 1963 Boat – 4 Port Wines, Max 6

There are many boats that do the same 6 bridges trip, so it’s all about the crew. Paulo and Nadie were very friendly and made us feel among friends. They supplied us with hats, music and adjusted drinks to our taste. There’s space on the boat with shade and also in the open for sun seekers.

Incredible experience! What a lovely boat with amazing hosts. We loved cruising the river, seeing Porto from the water, and tasting some fine port wines. Nadia and Paulo were extremely hospitable and even gave my two-year-old his own "wine" (juice) and snacks to share in the experience. They also made sure to have a life jacket available for him, which was important to us. Could not recommend this enough. Lovely, intimate experience where you're treated as one of the family. Major plus was having one of the best port tastings you could ask for!

We didn’t have an idea of how the tour would be and were happily surprised. We were greeted by our hosts Nadia and her husband and immediately were presented with warm reception. When we were onboard were accommodated and made feel as if it were the boat owners and they were there to sail boat for us while we relaxed and took in the scenery. They provided a delicious port wine tonic cocktail as a welcome drink which was absolutely delicious and refreshing. The provided a lot of history of the region and six bridges on the Dourous River. We were also presented with a great charcuterie board and other delicious port wine tonic. They had warm blankets to shelter us from the cold weather. A very lovely and hospitable couple. Thank you both for giving us such an amazing experience.

This was THE best port tasting experience I had (I did 3 while in Porto). This husband and wife team really know what they are doing. She thoughtfully paired the different ports with foods that enhanced the flavor. No boring lectures here. And as we passed landmarks little anecdotes were told, very endearing. Even though there were no sunsets to be seen, this is THE port tasting experience in Porto. Thank you Nadia and Paulo!

Nadia and Paul were excellent throughout our Douro 6 bridges river excursion....very friendly and informative.

Alma and Paulo were absolutely amazing ,great service and very genuine good hearted people I would strongly recommend!!!

We had a wonderful time on this sunset boat tour in Porto! We sat on the outside seating on the boat and were very comfortable, when it got colder we were immediatly offered blankets. It felt like the whole experience was well planned and thought through. The views of the city from the water were stunning, and the experience was made even better with a delicious cheeseboard, drinks, and a lovely port wine tasting. The couple who run the tour are so warm and welcoming, and they also share interesting explanations about the landmarks along the river, which made the ride even more special. Generaly the whole experience felt very personal and authentic – truly a highlight of our trip and highly recommended!

Really lovely personal experience gently along The Douro with lots of shade on the boat with Nadia and Paulo's kind attention and warm welcome. Recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the boat ride! Nadia and Paulo were so kind and amazing to my partner and I! They provided wonderful drinks and a delicious snack platter! The boat ride was so relaxing and watching the sunset was amazing! They even provided us with cozy blankets to get comfortable! We saw all the highlights and bridges and Nadia was extremely knowledgeable of all the history! I Overall was an amazing experience and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do this!

Kind, fun hosts with deep knowledge of Porto history. The husband-wife team were amazing guides and were attentive to our family and answering our questions and sharing the rich history of Porto with us. They also provided fantastic drinks and snacks as we enjoyed the beautiful sites on our tour of the river. Our two teen girls also enjoyed it and said it was one of their favorite activities. Highly recommend seeing Porto from this cruise!

Nadia and Paulo definitely put their heart into making this a wonderful experience for the customers. Smooth sailing by Paulo and excellent tour guidance from Nadia. The food and wine were delicious. Everything we expected – and well beyond that.

What a great experience. Nadia and Paulo were the perfect hosts, caring for all our needs in an exceptionally warm and friendly way. Beautiful cruise up the river past all the bridges then out into the ocean for the sunset. Drinks and snacks were promptly served. A truly magical evening. This tour is not to be missed. Highly recommended.

This was the highlight of our 18 day trip to Spain and Portugal! The ship was well run and cute, Nadia did a great job of taking care of us with tapas and wine, and the views were breathtaking to say the least! I would book this again in a heartbeat!

Thank you, Nadia and Paolo, for an unforgettable experience cruising the Douro River! Nadia was an exceptional host - warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about her beautiful city of Porto. Drinks and snacks were a lovely bonus, and Paulo gave us a smooth, relaxing ride while being just as hospitable. There’s no better way to do a river cruise than this - and to top it all off, my husband and I ended up with a completely private tour with just the two of us (which was the cherry on top). Absolutely perfect!

Nadia & Paulo are kind and generous hosts! My husband and I spent a beautiful afternoon with them cruising the Douro River in their small boat. Nadia seamlessly switched between English and Portuguese, providing explanations for us and the other couple. We enjoyed drinks and snacks and she brought us blankets when it got cooler outside. Forget the big boats - this tour is the way to see Porto through the eyes of local who clearly loves the city.

Amazing! Booked as a surprise for my 50th birthday. Nadia and Paulo went out of their way to make it such a memorable experience. Cannot recommend highly enough - an absolute must do experience if you are visiting Porto.

Nadia and Paulo were the most amazing gracious friendly hosts! We were lucky and had the boat to ourselves and enjoyed every single minute of it. Nadia knew a lot about Porto and you could really tell her love for her city! The food spread was beautiful and delicious, courtesy of Nadia's amazing mother. Could not recommend this tour more. Seeing the susent over Porto and Gaia was stunning!

The boat tour is uniquely beautiful. We were 5 guests - a cool group from England, Switzerland, Spain and Porto. The view of Porto and Gaia from the water is unique and wonderful. The hosts, Nádia and Paulo, are real hosts, kind, warm and wonderful. Nádia knows Porto and can provide a lot of information about the buildings and landscapes. A fresh plate of delicacies and white sangria with strawberries round it off. Thank you so much Nádia and Paulo for the wonderful birthday surprise you gave me. I will never forget it. ❤️

Nadia and Paulo were exceptional!We had a beautiful sunset cruise along the river in-between the clouds and rain. Nadia was very knowledgeable with sharing the history. Thoroughly enjoyed the small cruise, Sangria, appetizers, and company! Highly Recommend!!

Nadia and captain Paulo provided us the most incredible experience of our entire Portugal trip. As hosts, they are genuine people: friendly, accommodating, and enthusiastic. Our two-hour cruise was a safe and luxurious experience that seemingly made us the envy of the river on that beautiful day. As we relaxed at the front of the boat with blankets, sangria, snacks and jazzy music, we received many smiles and approving gestures from other boats and even people on shore. Most importantly, my wife was all smiles for the entirety of the experience. This will be a core memory for our relationship. Muito obrigada por tudo!

We thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cruise with Nadia and Paolo. He drove the boat a very calmly as she served us beautiful snacks, and information. We enjoyed their company as much as the beautiful boat ride. We would recommend this to anyone visiting Porto.

Nada and Paul were fantastic hosts! Nada’s knowledge of the area and her enthusiasm for her home town is appreciated. Her passion, energy and joy was contagious. Nada provided the right amount of narration and allowing us time alone. Paul’s knowledge of the water and currents was apparent. He had everything timed perfectly. I would highly recommend this experience.

This tour and experience plus Nadia was fantastic! We booked small group tour and it ended up being just the 2 of us. They don’t like to squeeze in people. We went in winter time and it was wonderful. Nadia was so helpful and had great stories and history of bridges and Porto overall! We had wonderful drinks and cheese plate homemade. She was very attentive and overall a perfect day and experience. We’d do it again and definitely recommend!!!

AMAZING! Nadia and Paulo are the best! We had a great experience, lovely people that make you feel what Porto is about (family)! We tried all local products and they were the greatest host, this tour is amazing, we had the greatest views from Porto and Gaia + sunset, 100% recommend this tour! You won’t regret it

Nadia & Paulo were amazing hosts and captains! They were so welcoming and eager to share their knowledge of their city! We traveled with two small children (ages 3 and 7) who they do graciously kept entertained so the rest of the family could enjoy the sights! Thank you Nadia & Paulo for such a wonderful time! The girls are still talking about the boat ride with the sunset! ❤️

Nadia and Paulo gave us a super boat trip on their beautifull boat. They tell you all the information you need to know about the sights with a lot of love and attention. The food and drinks and service where excelent ! We would recommend this trip to everyone.

Incredible romantic boat ride through the Douro River with a breathtaking sunset. Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience in Porto. Nadia and Paulo were wonderful hosts and made the experience extra special.

Nadia and Paulo gave us a private tour of the 6 bridges that was truly a highlight of our stay in Porto. The boat is lovely and Nadia welcomed us with blankets, drinks and tasty snacks throughout the tour. She shared her passion and knowledge of Porto and surrounding areas and provided us an amazing list of local restaurants and attractions. We can’t recommend this outing more highly!

It was such a fantastic experience on a very comfortable boat! We enjoyed the beautiful views of Porto from the river but even more the company of Nadia and Paulo who took care of us with so much kindness and smile, the best of Portuguese hospitality! Nadia was a great guide, full of interesting stories about Porto, its people and life in the city. She treated us with a plate of local, home-made tapas, such a nice surprise! Porto from the water was spectacular and for us the best way to enjoy was to take this trip - highly recommended!

Thank you so much Paul and Nadia for the beautiful and very interesting guided boat tour on the Douro. We enjoyed every minute of it. The appetizers, the glass of wine and of porto were very much appreciated! It vas very relaxing and romantic at the same time for us. We strongly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a unique personalized experience.

Nadia and Paulo were amazing. It was a beautiful boat ride with the greatest hosts. We did the sunset ride and highly recommend. If you want to meet and experience the best of Porto this is your trip.

Nadia and Paulo were wonderful hosts. More than we could ever have imagined. They were extremely friendly, courteous, generous, and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend them highly.

An awesome day with Nadia and Paolo! Despite the rain our tour was informative and fun -with great food, drink and music. We highly recommend this company if you want to see Porto from a different perspective and learn about this amazing city.

It really doesn’t matter what the weather is this is the best way to take in the city and sample some genuine local hospitality. Nadia and Paulo bring sunshine to any day and their knowledge of the city as locals makes the experience super special. The food and wine including preserves made by Nadia’s mother were a great treat. I would highly recommend this experience.

It was an amazing trip! You could not have any nicer people than Nadia and Paulo! They spoil you with drinks, foods, a great boat and everything else you might need! They are easy to contact and very flexible! I can 100% recomend a trip with them and will definitley book them again if I come back to Porto!

This was one of the most beautiful and enjoyable experiences ever! The views and the sunset were unmatched - highly recommended a 6pm time slot to catch the sun setting. The hosts were so incredibly kind and accommodating - treated us like family. Wine, sangria, and charcuterie were provided, as well as a Bluetooth speaker with an amazing playlist to contribute to the vibe. Clean/cozy blankets were also provided as the temperature does drop in the evening. Highly highly recommended!

Amazing tour! It was only two of us my husband and I. Tour guide and the Capitan were so welcoming. It felt like we met our old good friends. Views were amazing, we were sitting in front of the boat relaxing, listening the impressive history and enjoying Fado music. In addition they offered warm blankets, also they treated us with delicious homemade snacks and sangria! It was unforgettable experience!

This was our last day / afternoon at the end of a wonderful week in Porto, and what a fantastic way to spend our final moments with Nadia and Paulo on there boat. The day started out a little wet and Nadia contacted us early to ask if we wanted to start a little later than we booked, so we could take advantage of the better weather a bit later. We did this, and the afternoon was perfect, blue skies, warm sun and a gentle breeze on the river, perfect conditions for a relaxing 2 hour cruise. Although we hadn’t booked out the whole boat, by luck we were the only couple on board, so we had a lovely time, the hospitality from Nadia was excellent, drinks and wine flowed easily, along with some tasty snacks, cheese, prosciutto, olives, bread, melon. This river cruise was the perfect end to our break in Porto! You can do the 6 bridges cruises on the big boats and a bit cheaper, but it won’t come close to comparing with this trip! Many thanks for a wonderful memory!

Absolutely amazing!!! We were treated like family..we couldn't have asked for more. The evening was so relaxing..the people so passionate about their culture and city. A beautiful meal wine and port. A truly unforgettable experience..and sunset. Thank you again!!! Alastair

I can not say enough about this sunset cruise. It was perfect in every way. The couple who run this boat are in love with what they do and their enthusiasm is contagious. It is a wonderful way to experience the river in Porto

Who would want to be on one of the boats that has 40+ people?? Rather you could enjoy this very special tour with a few people, light snacks, and wine. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 on this trip however, the boat would have comfortably fit another 4-6. It was so relaxing to spend 2 hours on the river, appreciating Porto and Gaia from a completely different view. We highly recommend this tour; it will be a highlight of our trip.

We genuinely had the most incredible experience with Nadia and Paolo. They made my whole family feel so welcome, provided delicious sangria on arrival and charcuterie snacks too! The boat was super comfortable, with big cushions at the front to take in the views. We booked the sunset time, and were taken out to the ocean for the best view. Our hosts were so hospitable and lovely, would absolutely recommend!

Very warm and welcoming team ⭐️ we loved our experience with this boat and it will remain as a good memory. We were even offered blankets for the windy time, and photo with a professional camera.

We spent a wonderful evening with our hosts Nadia, Maria and captain Paulo. The weather was not great for sunset view (our initial choice), however they were flexible and proposed the six bridges option which was amazing. Not only that, we got drinks and delicious snacks that were not expected, also nice music and warm blankets that made us fully enjoy the trip . We highly recommend this boat tour.

When we decided to book a Douro River Cruise, we were looking for a quiet, romantic boat ride down the Douro river to experience Porto in a different light. We got more than what we were expecting when we booked with Paulo and Nadia. What a wonderful experience we had! We felt as if we were with good friends on the tour. We had a beautiful spot at the front of the boat on two big comfy pillows, got served Sangria (delicious), a lovely charcuterie board full of cheese, meats, jam and bread and at the end enjoy a little bit of port wine. Along the way, Paulo provided tidbits of Porto’s history and we had great conversations along the way. As we did the evening sunset tour, they graciously provided blankets to keep us warm when it got chilly. I can’t recommend this tour enough as the hospitality was amazing and so was the company!

Amazing family that treated us so well! Definitely recommend. The wine and snacks were great!The sunset on the ocean was beautiful!

Wonderful experience. Very kind Nadia and Paolo, sangria, port and appetizers included in the price. They took us to see the sunset all the way to the ocean, also offering us a polaroid, some hats and plaids. Excellent price, highly recommended!!!

This shared boat trip was awesome! Nadia and Paulo are great! They welcomed myself, my wife, and my son on their boat like we were part of their family. This was a very enjoyable river cruise and Nadia and Paulo provided allot of great information about the sights along the tour since they born, raised, and live in the area They also recommend an awesome local restaurant that we enjoyed. Nadia also makes awesome red sangria that I enjoyed on the tour I very highly recommend them and their river tour! You will not be disappointed Carl P

I would leave 10 stars if I could!! The hosts were so lovely, welcoming, kind and caring they went above and beyond for us in every way! The drinks and snacks were amazing and the sunset view from our little boat in the ocean was a high light of our trip! Very cozy and such a unique experience, please go if you can !!
