Loved it! Do not hesitate to book this sunset cruise! We had the owner as our captain that evening, and he shared his family’s stories about the area. He was full on knowledgeable. We sat on the top deck with him and 2 other couple. 3 couples sat below. The ladies the crew served us and took pics of the couples below. We thought we would only get a welcome cocktail but we also got a few glasses of wine for a wine tasting , crackers, chocolate and even a pastel de Nata! Blankets were distributed to keep us warm. We did have to take a bold to the Maria since it was further from the center but worth it. Bathrooms at the Marina too.

An excellent river cruise with a small group of people. Alberto Moreiro was a very attentive and knowledgable host, providing just the right amount of input. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip!
This is a great tour, highly recommended! The crew is professional, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the area's history.
This was EXACTLY what we wanted to do. A small intimate group that got to experience a great cruise along the Douro River. The captain and his crew were so much fun, so knowledgeable about the topography and history! Perfect!
This was a really good trip, the boat was clean and we had plenty of room to move around. The crew were really friendly, polite and knowledgeable. A great experience, well worth doing and far better than being crammed on one of the many other larger boats on the river
Great, comfortable boat. Lovely crew and captain. We did the sunset cruise that is a must. Alberto, the owner, made sure everyone had a wonderful cruise. We highly recommend it!!
We had an amazing time on our tour. The guide was very informative, the boat was a perfect size and it was just overall super chill and nice. We were welcomed with a drink and ended watching the sunset on the water. Highly recommend this tour!
Highly recommend this trip on a beautiful yacht, finished with watching the sunset over the ocean -which was amazing. A highlight of our trip to Porto.
We had a wonderful sunset cruise on the Douro River, and Alberto made the experience truly memorable. He was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive throughout the tour. He shared interesting stories about Porto, Gaia, the bridges, and the Douro while still giving us plenty of time to simply relax and enjoy the beautiful sunset and scenery.
Absolutely loved this experience! The yacht was beautiful and luxurious, and the service was incredibly professional, friendly, and welcoming. Alberto was fantastic and so knowledgeable about the city, its history, buildings, and landmarks. You could point out almost any building and he knew exactly when it was built and the story behind it, which made the experience even more interesting. The group was intimate, with only around 10 people, so it genuinely felt like a private yacht experience without the private-yacht price tag. Perfect for couples, solo travellers, or families. Just book it, relax and soak in the Porto sunset..
Alberto and his team curated an exceptional experience. With detailed attention, we were well taken care of the whole day. Friendly, welcoming, and thoughtful cannot begin to describe how amazing this company is. Our experience included a well-planned day from the Atlantic down the Duoro with a curated breakfast, beautiful drinks, planned lunch, and sunset tour. Alberto and his team also went out of their way to give spectacular recommendations prior to our trip which helped us plan our time in Porto. At the end of the day, they made sure we arrived back to our hotel safe. The best time with new friends!
Great experience. Very accommodating boat, so relaxing. Crew was friendly, informed and helped make it a 5 Star trip. Don’t go big, book this tour!
What a wonderful evening. Pedro greeted us on the dock and welcomed us on board. Pedro and another man (I can’t remember his name) led the cruise. They gave us a lovely welcome drink of a Port Tonic. Pedro provided us with some history and information about the areas that we were looking at. Most of the time we were talking with others on the boat. Nice mix of information and relaxing. We could purchase extra drinks if interested however we brought a bottle of port on the boat and were able to enjoy this instead. Towards the end of the cruise, they provided a nice Ginja and a chocolate treat. We watched the sun set and it was beautiful! Highly recommend this tour. Nice crew, very relaxing, enjoyable evening. You won’t be disappointed!
We had a great time on our tour. Our guide Alberto is super informative with his knowledge of the history of Porto and the bridges. On board, he was very hospitable. We had champagne, a welcome drink, and some snacks. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Porto. This was the only tour we did during our entire week and a half stay in Portugal and I am perfectly satisfied that this was the case.
Our family of five, ranging in age from 10 to 74, had an absolutely fantastic afternoon on the Douro River with Opo Boat Tours and Captain Alberto. From the moment we stepped aboard, he made us feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease. Alberto was the perfect host and an outstanding guide. We learned so much about Porto, its history, and its six iconic bridges while taking in the stunning scenery along the river. The pace was relaxing, and it was a wonderful way to experience the city from a different perspective. He was especially accommodating to our kids, making sure everyone had a great time. And don't miss his delicious port tonic cocktail—it was the perfect complement to the cruise! A special thank you as well to Alfonso from Ono Tours, who was also wonderful. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. We have absolutely no regrets booking this tour and would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
This was a super nice cruise along the river and the end of the Douro river into the sea. Great views during 2 hours, nice music, and fantastic crew. We chose the sunset option, and It was a really beautiful moment. Highly recommended.
This two hour boat tour was the highlight of my few days in Porto!! Highly recommend! Alberto and Manuel did a fabulous job at looking after us so well. Excellent information, delicious drinks and wonderful care and service to all aboard. I went solo as my hubby was unfortunately unwell this day, and it was a wonderful time meeting a small group of other travellers. So I would recommend for solo travellers for this reason too - don’t be shy. It was such a treat to be taken on such a beautiful boat, very comfortable and luxurious, felt like the VIP treatment. Thanks Alberto and team for a wonderful afternoon on the water.
My husband and I were visiting Portugal in late May from Washington, USA and had the most amazing experience on OPO’s 2 hour Douro River sunset yacht cruise with Alberto + his assistant (sorry I didn't catch his name)! We were celebrating our honeymoon and his yacht was beautiful, the music + views were perfect and the vibes were immaculate from start to finish! Alberto is clearly so passionate about what he does and it shows in every single detail! Being a Porto native, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, its history, little facts and various local recommendations (spa, bars, lounges, restaurants and day trips) that made it all feel extra special. This ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip to Portugal! Alberto and his assistant also went above and beyond with the service. They took so many photos for everyone, made cocktails, kept snacks and drinks replenished, helped organize bags and shoes, navigated/communicated smoothly around other boats and made sure everyone was comfortable the entire time. His assistant was so helpful toward everyone and super attentive throughout the tour! One note for future guests: please bring cash if you would like to leave a tip. Their email mentioned that tipping is welcome and they truly deserve it!! Out of 9 people on our cruise, only my husband and I tipped Alberto + his assistant, which was honestly so sad to see considering how much care and effort they put into the entire experience for everyone. They genuinely went above and beyond for us all and their service absolutely deserves recognition! Oh and bring a light jacket bc it got a bit chilly and windy during blue hour post sunset! If you’re visiting Porto, do not miss this amazing yacht cruise! It was beautiful, fun and SO unforgettable!!!
Really excellent trip - Alberto was very friendly & knowledgable received a lot of information re Porto on the trip. Very comfortable boat - we were lucky to have the boat trip to ourselves 4 of us. The refreshments offered were of a high quality . Certainly would recommend even though it is slightly harder to get to but a short taxi drive helped - the taxis were quite cheap to get here as well .
Alberto and Beatriz were so accommodating! This is an awesome way to start or end a trip in Porto. It’s our first day and we have been up for over 25 hours and this was still the perfect way to acclimate to lovely sunny Porto. Alberto regaled us with stories of the history of the area and in-depth local knowledge. He is an awesome resource for sightseeeng. We saw the opening of the Douro to the Atlantic and the 6 bridges and had some lovely port drinks. The boat is a lovely 42’ sailboat - a real joy, especially on a sunny day.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic family experience on a small yacht tour along the Douro River. The boat was comfortable and offered beautiful views of Porto and its iconic bridges. Alberto was an excellent host—friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. A relaxed, personal, and memorable way to see the city. We definitely will book with OPO Boat Tours with Alberto in the future!
Alberto is knowledgeable, friendly, proactive, and thoughtful. His engaging and warm approach helped us immediately feel comfortable on his boat. From a local welcome cocktail to his comfort with local history made for an educational and memorable tour. We would recommend him without reservation and couldn’t have been happier with his tour. He happens to be a great photographer (as judged by my teenage daughters:)).
Fantastic sunset tour and very nice guide who made the experience incredibly memorable for us. 10/10… would recommend this tour!
Alberto was exceptional. He was very communicative, accommodation and attentive. The yatch is beautiful and comfortable. The service on board is exceptionally. I would recommend this to anyone wanting that extra special experience with a small group. Absolutely fantastic value for money and definitely a perfect way to see the sunset privately without the crowds! A very special experience, one i won't forget!
The guides on the cruise were so friendly and informative. The boat cruised at a lovely, no wake speed while we noticed other tours flying up and down the river. The music was also very relaxing, the wine was excellent, and blankets were provided.
The host was delightful and had a real passion for the cruise. The drinks were lovely. While the clouds robbed us of the sunset the trip was a success.
The perfect way to be introduced to Porto and Gaia! Alberto and crew were knowledgeable and thoughtful. The perfect mix of info and relaxation! The cocktail and port tasting were both well timed and we left with amazing recommendations for a great day in Porto.
Alberto was a marvelous host! Traffic was bad, but he accommodated those of us running late and still gave us a great tour. The boat was very comfortable--the blankets were key when the wind picked up. The drinks were tasty and plentiful and Alberto's stories about the city were interesting. But the real star was the Douro itself and the amazing views of the city and sunset. A truly memorable evening!
This yacht tour was absolutely wonderful! The host was so knowledgeable, positive, and welcoming, which made the entire experience feel special from start to finish. The drinks were delicious and plentiful, and enjoying them while cruising along the river was such a treat. Seeing the bridges and the river mouth from the water gave a whole new perspective of Porto’s beauty. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable way to experience the city!
We had the most amazing time with Alberto - the boat was so luxurious and comfortable, the information was great and the sunset was unbelievable! Not a bad thing to say about the experience - great value for money and the crew were so accommodating, went over and above 😊 would highly highly recommend !
Wonderful relaxing experience! The cruise was most enjoyable! Alberto, the owner was the ultimate host. We were able to sit back and enjoy various portugese cocktails and accompanied snacks while listening to Alberto's commentary on the history of Porto, in addition to pointing out various sites along the Douro river. The vessel had a bathroom, was very roomy and had very comfortable seating at the front of the boat complete with blankets if you needed one. Exceptional tour, would highly recommend to anyone wishing a truly awesome river cruise!! Alberto rocks!!
This was an amazing experience and a great way to immerse ourselves into the sites offered in Porto. The drinks were refreshing and we learnt a lot during this trip. We even saw dolphins! Highly recommend.
### Improved review Alberto is an exceptional host and guide. This was the best experience I had in Porto. The tour begins with refreshing drinks and complimentary snacks, followed by a delightful tasting of local wines and chocolate. We enjoyed breathtaking views of Porto’s iconic bridges and finished with a stunning sunset over the ocean. The crew never rushed us and took their time to make the experience relaxing and memorable. The tour ran slightly longer than advertised, it was worth every penny. Highly recommended! Thank you, Alberto and Diego!
Excellent service! We loved the cruise. Thank you Alberto for a wonderful experience!! Great company too!
best river tour with alcohol ever!!!!! Alberto was absolutely amazing and shared so much insight with us regarding Porto and Gaia. My friends and I booked at the last minute and they were so accommodating and friendly! We were also given a variety of alcoholic beverages and chips to go with which were divine! He was more than willing to take our pictures, answer questions, and stop the boat to give us time to see certain monuments and sights. We had the best time ever! Thank you Alberto and Mr. Camillo!!!!!!
Perfect 2 hours on the water - Alberto was awesome - a few snacks and cocktails rounded out the trip...
What a fantastic experience! Relaxing, informative, and beautiful. A chance to sample local wines while seeing the city from a stunning perspective, in an intimate and comfortable environment. Sunset from the boat was magical! Thank you for a truly wonderful night!!
We loved our experience on Alberto’s boat. It was more than a tour, it felt like an immersion into the history and vibe of the city. Alberto is extremely knowledgeable about Porto and was able to answer questions that went far beyond the usual superficial facts that are fed to tourists. The boat has a relaxing vibe, we enjoyed local refreshments and appreciate Alberto’s curated list that he sent us afterwards. Hands-down, the highlight of our vacation cannot recommend enough!!
If you’re visiting Porto, a sunset yacht cruise is an absolute must – and sailing with Alberto made it unforgettable! From the moment we stepped on board, he set the tone for an evening of pure magic. 🌅 The yacht itself was gorgeous and perfectly set up for relaxing as we glided along the Douro River, watching the city light up in golden hour glow. Alberto’s knowledge of Porto and its history brought the scenery to life, but it was his fun, easygoing vibe that really made the trip feel special – it was like sailing with an friend who just happens to be an incredible host! Between the sparkling wine, stunning views of the bridges, and Alberto’s amazing hospitality, this cruise was the highlight of our trip. 🌊⛵️ If you’re looking for a truly unique way to experience Porto, book this sunset cruise – and cross your fingers you get Captain Alberto! 🌟
What an amazing experience! Our cruise kicked off on time with our captain and guide welcoming us on board. Once on the boat, we got comfy on the Bow of the boat which provided the absolute best views. We we served three different port wines paired nicely with chips and chocolate. Our side Tomas was a pleasure. The captain was also a wonderful host. We saw so much and it was truly relaxing.
Absolute perfection! Comfortable ride, nice music, wonderful drinks (even non alcoholic options), the most kind and handsome host, immaculate vibes. What more could you possibly ask for? Don't look any further, this is THE PERFECT boat tour!
Milo & Tomar were both excellent tour guides. Great music, conversation and very informative about the history of Portugal.
Our family of 4 had such an amazing experience on this sunset cruise. It was truly the highlight of our trip to Porto. I would highly recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Alberto is a knowledgeable guide and made the trip so special with his offerings of drinks and wine and small snacks. He even accommodated our younger boys with a lovely selection of juices. Being on the water and getting to see both cities from that angle was a memorable experience for all of us, and the breathtaking sunset at the mouth of the Atlantic was one to remember for a lifetime. There are lots of companies doing these types of tours, but you will not regret booking with Opo. Alberto clearly has a passion for what he does, and it shows.
We had such a wonderful experience on this sunset tour with Alberto! He was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating and the drinks were delicious. Highly, highly recommended.
The most beautiful and calming experiences we had in Porto. Alberto is a wonderful host and guide. He was knowledgeable about landmarks and bridges and saw areas of Porto we would otherwise not have seen. We enjoyed a magnificent sunset at the mouth of the river. Honestly, the highlight of our trip.
This boat excursion was well worth it and we had a fantastic experience. Alberto was very informative and very helpful. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed cocktails during an amazing sunset. I highly recommend this tour and of course Alberto! Cheers from San Diego
Boat tour was relaxing and educational. We learned about both Porto and Guia sipping wine and enjoying the stunning views from the river. Alberto is an amazing host- you get much more than expected with this tour. Relaxation at its peak! Highly recommend.
Where do I start? Porto City is so charming but we saw it's charm from one angle. Alberto from Opo Boat tours showed us Porto and Gaia from different angle. We did 6 bridges tour, 2 hours on a nice boat with another family. Felt like we are on a private cruise. Alberto is super cool, friendly, fun with warm hospitality guide. This was not only a boat tour but also a wine tasting experience Alberto introduced us to Portos and Douro Valley's different wines and drinks. 2 hours flew so fast, because it was an amazing day and tour. We really hope to come back again and do a Sunset ride. Thank you Alberto.
A fantastic two-hour boat tour in Porto! Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s architecture and iconic bridges, but also shared engaging stories about Porto’s rich history and present. It was such a treat to learn from a true local—born and raised in Porto, with international perspective from studying in Boston. He tailored the experience to our group’s interests. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper, more personal view of the city from the river!
This was a brilliantly run event from start to finish. Alberto contacted us several days before the event to check everything was ok with our booking and let us have his contact details in case of any issues on the day. On the day we left our hotel 1.5 hours before the trip started but we hadn’t banked on three cancelled Ubers and some awful traffic in Porto on Friday night. I really thought we would miss the event but I messaged Alberto, he sent a pin of a location to get dropped off cos there was a carnival causing traffic issues and waited for us and guided us in. This was so kind as we’d both got a bit stressed with the traffic. This was honestly the last stress of the day. The boat was Amazing. Alberto and his crew mate looked after us so well. It was a small exclusive tour with only a few other guests on a very high quality boat. Their tour guide skills were exceptional, they asked what we were interested in as well as telling us all the things they knew and the local drinks were amazing and served really nicely. Porto was amazing - we did the end of day trip and the sunset at the end was a special memory for life. After the cruise Alberto gave us a recommendation for the type of restaurant we wanted and then also sent us a list of other places to go on our trip based on what we had told him we wanted to do. The service and support and being looked after so you could totally relax was outstanding. This trip was one of the best I have been on anywhere never mind just in Porto. You should absolutely book and it will be a highlight of your trip. If I could give it six stars I would.
