Me and my friends had a really great time on the boat. The views were lovely and the boat is clean and comfortable. Thank you to Paulo and Cristina for the experience.
We were badly let down. Our trip, which had been booked over a month earlier to mark a special birthday, was cancelled the day before we were due to have the trip. We received only a generic text with no personal apology or reason given.
We had an incredible experience on our private sunset boat cruise in Porto. Captain Paulo and his crew, Henrique, welcomed us with warm smiles and immediately made us feel at home. Both were engaging, knowledgeable, and a genuine pleasure to spend time with. The cruise itself was beautiful, with stunning views of Porto at sunset, and the thoughtful touches made it even more special. The wine and snacks provided were a lovely addition and made the experience feel relaxed and indulgent. One of the highlights was Paulo’s recommendation for dinner after the cruise—Sempre Assar—which turned out to be one of the best seafood meals we had during our trip. This experience was seamless, memorable, and truly one of the highlights of our time in Porto. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special and personalized way to enjoy the city.
Amazing tour! Paulo and his wife KiKi were so nice. They made our tour so enjoyable. Definitely worth it to do a private cruise. Learned so much about Douro.
This was an exceptional private experience for my family of 4. Paolo, the boat captain and his first mate Christina did an outstanding job of making my family comfortable. The food and drinks were fantastic and high quality, and the conversation was engaging and interesting. Highly recommend this experience and this crew.
What an incredible way to see the city, going down the Douro on this beautiful yacht. The owner and his daughter were the perfect guides. They were so professional and gave us the best experience. I would do it again and would highly recommend to anyone.
A great experience. Our niece booked this tour for 8 of us in our group. A family owned business with a friendly crew. We had great food and drinks while touring the Rio Douro on this beautiful yacht. Service was on point. Very thoughtful in providing a cake in honour of my father in law’s birthday. A perfect memory for a lifetime! Thank you!
What an incredible experience! This yacht trip was easily the highlight of our family's trip. The views were absolutely stunning, and it was such a beautiful and unique way to see the city from the water. The crew was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer our questions about the landmarks, buildings, and sights along the way. Their attention to detail and excellent service made the experience even more enjoyable. The food provided was surprisingly delicious and a perfect addition to the trip. Everything was thoughtfully planned and executed. 10/10 service and a 10/10 experience from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting the area and would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you for helping create such a memorable family experience.
Our private yacht cruise on the Douro River for my grandfather’s birthday was truly the highlight of our trip to Porto. The entire team went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome and celebrated. We loved learning about the surrounding area, and the food and wine were exceptional. Most of all, the hospitality and kindness shown was outstanding and made the experience incredibly special. We couldn’t recommend this experience more highly and would love to do it again someday!
Had an amazing time, everything was perfect
We had a wonderful trip, great hosting, the wine was plentiful, food delicious. I’d highly recommend for a private trip, with friends or family.
This experience was truly amazing and unforgettable! Paolo was so kind and insightful through the whole thing. He welcomed me and 7 of my friends and made us feel very at home. Everything was lovely from the ride to the homemade jam as well as the wine selection! We will definitely be booking this excursion again the next time we are in Porto. It was so beautiful from start to finish.
Wonderful time on the river at sunset ! Maravilhosa! Great service , food , drinks and even dinner recommendations!
The entire experience was superb from start to finish. Great boat, great crew and great food & wine. It was so enjoyable and informative, definitely the highlight of our trip to Porto, we couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Our two hour experience was just wonderful! Paulo and Christina were the best! Extremely informative and attentive. The drinks and food provided were yummy and Christina’s home made tomato jam was a true compliment to the cheese!!! This truly made our anniversary a day to remember! Would highly recommend.
The river cruise was amazing!! The crew on board were outstanding. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Porto. Must do !!
Paulo is a very accommodating and kind tour operator, the yacht was beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. We loved the homemade tomato jam, the soft cheeses and the charcuterie. Paulo took many pictures of us and we had a great time on our last day in Porto. Totally recommend!!
The captain was incredibly witty, friendly, and dedicated. The service was excellent, and our sunset cruise on the Douro River was full of joy, making it a truly wonderful evening for our whole family.
Awesome experience with Daniel and the captain. Daniel was very informative and fun. He also arranged a great dinner for us at a locals restaurant. It was incredible and the staff treated us like royalty. We highly recommend this trip.
Paulo and his son Antonio made our trip so much more memorable. My 96 year old father wanted to return to Portugal after his first trip some 60 plus years ago and this experience on the Douro river was top of his highlight list. Thank you Paolo for such a great memory!!! We will be back!
Paulo and Antonio gave us a very warm welcome from the very first time! The bot was clean and fully equipped with everything needed for families or friends. We were given all the necessary information while on board and Paulo and Antonio were ready to answer any set of questions regardind Porto and Douro. A wonderful set of snacks and wines was offered during our boat trip! A fully recommended experience for anyone visiting Porto and especially accompanied by Paulo and Antonio!! Wish you the best!!
We had a magical time aboard this private yacht at sunset in Porto. Everything was perfect from start to finish! A top-notch captain, professional, friendly, and attentive, who largely contributed to making this outing even more pleasant. The boat is magnificent, very well equipped, and perfectly maintained. The tasting and the dishes offered were excellent, with quality products and a neat presentation. A real pleasure to enjoy these little touches while admiring the magnificent landscapes of Porto and the Douro at sunset. An experience that was both elegant, friendly, and unforgettable. We recommend this private yacht excursion without any hesitation to anyone who wishes to discover Porto in a different and privileged way. A big thank you for this wonderful moment! We will return with great pleasure.
Paulo and Christina welcomed us with open arms on their superb boat! I highly recommend this experience! Great atmosphere!
A really nice boat trip with a super skipper who told about what we sailed past and a little history about the area. We got great wine and tapas on board. The weather was also in top
