The start of our experience in our beloved river, in latin "Douro" means "made of gold" these waters really wore the beating heart of our city.
Our oldest bridge with a lot of interesting details to get to know
One of the biggest icons of the city, from 1881 and still used to this day.
It´s Porto's historic district, known for its medieval architecture and charming narrow streets. It features landmarks like the São Francisco Church and the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge. The area reflects Porto's rich maritime heritage, making it a captivating destination for history lovers.
C de Gaia is a charming waterfront area across the Douro River from Porto, famous for its port wine cellars. It offers great views of the Porto skyline, making it a quick but picturesque stop for those passing by. Perfect for a brief wine tasting or a scenic photo op!
It´s a historic building located by the Douro River. Once used for customs duties, it now serves as a cultural and event space.

Merci ! We had a really nice time with Jonas and the crew, the wines were delicious, the smiles and discussions were sparkling. Thank you, we had a great cruise with nice pepoles! I recommend.
Very comfortable boat, staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent cruise and a perfect setting.
We are 2 couples that took a 2 hour cruise on the Douro. the boat was very comfortable and the captain and guide, Luka and Marcello were very knowledgeable and friendly. They made the trip enjoyable.
Great personal tour ( not one where they cram in the tourists). Duarte an Alfonso were very good guides - friendly and knowledgeable
Wonderful small group experience! Guides were very engaging and created a very inclusive and fun time for all. Great tour with generous pours!
Excellent cruise with Ricardo and Gui. Very knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. It was nice to be with a small group and be able to both ask questions and hear the answers! Great value for money and generous with the wine and snacks.
Absolutely superb experience. Antonio and Duarte were fabulous hosting us and made us feel so welcome. Definitely recommend this cruise!
Highly recommend this boat tour Ricardo & Duarte were excellent! Gave us a lot of historical information about the Douro, the bridges, & buildings and their significance. Enjoyed the snacks & tasting of port wines! Couldn’t ask for a better tour, the guys made our day!
The cruise was lovely, the snacks and wine were delicious and the information that our guide provided about the bridges and the rest of Porto was invaluable! Not to mention the beautiful weather and the sunset! Highly recommend!
Sooo fun We all loved history and cultural info presented by captain Antonio and Tomas. Definitely take this tour if you can
This was a lovely experience! Our guides were so friendly and knowledgeable! The wine was excellent and the people we met were so fun!
This is a very intimate, almost private boat ride, which is what we were hoping for. The boat itself was very nice. Guide was more hands-off and didn’t offer a lot of history of the area, but was personably and very friendly. He went out of his way to make a dinner reservation for us, which was amazing. The wine on the boat was lovely, we had one table wine and two port, and were offered refills of everything. There wasn’t much of a snack, just a few cookies. The tour itself was hard to figure out, communication beforehand with the company when I had a question was impossible. And standing at the marina/restaurant trying to find our guide was very confusing, and took some time. So be warned there’s no sign or mark, you just stand at the top of the marina near the restaurant and wait for them to call you. Can take a while to find them. Overall this was a wonderful, private experience on the boat and we had an amazing time! The guide and captain were both super nice. But if you’re looking for a lot of history (or a lot of snacks), this tour doesn’t have that. For the price, I definitely recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Jeso and Fabio were very informative and extremely friendly and caring. We felt the whole experience was well worth doing in a small group giving us chance to get to know the other five people. We would highly recommend this trip.
Tomaso was a wonderful tour guide for our river boat tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend him!
The boat trip was great. The two young men that hosted our trip were very polite and entertaining and very knowledgeable of Porto. The Wine and Port that was served to us was very tasty and again we were given loads of information on the origin of Port and wine in the Douro valley. All in all we had a fantastic time.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Boating Porto! The pickup place is a small, empty harbor, easy to find. It can be reached either by a longer walk along the river or by a taxi. It’s a perfect activity for families, couples, or solo travelers seeking a memorable and intimate experience on the water.
This boat tour was great!! Right away the guide was inviting and kind, once on the boat he shared lots of information about the ports and Porto! The three tastings were very good! And healthy pours with yummy snacks! I would highly recommend this tour! They even had blankets for us as it can get quite chilly on the river.
The Crew was very cordial and open minded, they gave us a wonderful experience and also the other guests were lovely. All in all we‘ve spent a fantastic afternoon. Best wishes!
Claudia and Antonio were amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed the ride. It was chill and intimate, we were able to get great recommendations for places to eat/visit. Highly suggest!
We spent an amazing afternoon discovering the city from the river. And on top of that with good wine and snacks. Antonio and Guillermo are lovely and made us the excursion super nice. We take a precious memory 💚❤️
The Very Friendly Welcoming of Pedro and Ricardo The walk with the tasting of Porto exceptional. We had a great time. Outing that delighted teen and adults
A wonderful walk! Enjoy the beauty and history of Porto from the river Douro was fantastic. Sancha and Duarte, our captains, couldn't have been more friendly! Thank you very much!
I loved the boat trip on the river Douro! The landscape is beautiful and the experience was even better thanks to Sancha and Duarte — super friendly, helpful and made everything a lot more special. I recommend even to those in the area, very well worth it!
