It was well worth the money. Jose. Did a wonderful job giving the tour. They had blankets for us and a port and snacks. Everyone was so kind. I highly recommend.

My partner and I LOVED this tour. We were here during the off season(Nov) and ended up being the only ones on our tour. So we got a very one on one experience. Our tour guide Jose was phenomenal! He gave us a ton of information and history about the area. And answered all our questions. All around a great time!

The guide Jose was very well versed and excited to impart all kinds of knowledge regarding Porto and Gaia, you could really tell he loved the area and enjoyed his tasks.
If you are more interested in food and wine service this tour is not for you.

The captain and Ricardo were terrific. My wife and I were the only two on the tour because another large group cancelled last minute. Most other companies would have cancelled the tour due to low turnout, but they did not. The boat tour provided us a beautiful angle to view Porto, and the sunset was spectacular. The view was the same as what other companies is able to provide, but the staff made all the difference. Thank you so much for a wonderful and informative experience!

This experience was simply unforgettable! The view of Porto and the Douro River at sunset from the sailboat was spectacular. The crew was super friendly and took care of everything – we could just relax and enjoy. The atmosphere was both romantic and calming, perfect for a special evening. The wine and snacks on board were a great touch, too. Absolutely a worthwhile experience that I would recommend to anyone wanting to see Porto from a unique perspective!

Our captain; his first mate and lovely daughter went out of their way to show us a special time! The sunset and sky were beautiful but to see the way the light plays on Porto was magical. The smaller sailboat was nice and it leant itself to a more intimate gathering where we could get to know other travelers as well. With a great sense of humor and a very friendly heart, our captain made our time with him educational and incredibly enjoyable at the same time. I highly recommend to book this excursion.

Really enjoyed this boat trip. The conditions were perfect and the guides were so friendly.
We were hoping for some more guidance around the history. We asked questions and these were answered, but would have been good to have more commentary.
The port and tonic was delicious. 2 generous servings!
Highly recommended!
