A fabulous experience! - What a wonderful experience!!! Breathtaking views of Porto and Gaia from the beautiful River Douro! Professionalism, but with a lot of human warmth to mix! And, as if not enough, a snack served with great taste, while anchored by the foz do Douro! I LOVE IT!!! And I highly recommend.

Can't miss this one! - Manuel and Joao were the best. It was just two of us, sisters; and they treated us like queens. They provided a port wine from an individual grower/maker which was fabulous! Too bad they are a small producer as we would have loved to take some home to the states. Joao tailored his tour to our interests and Manuel's homemade tomato jam was to die for. Would highly recommend this trip any time during your visit to porto.

Magnificent Boat trip - We enjoyed a super 2 hour trip with Manuel and Paula. Paula was very informative with many interesting facts about Porto and its history. She also gave us some great restaurant receommendations. We throughly enjoyed the local wine, charcuterie, cheeses and fruit with a special mention for the home made chutney. Thank you Manuel. A lovely way to spend a morning in Porto.

The best tourist experience in Porto. 5 stars program wonder - My trip with Manuel was simply wonderful. One of the best recreational programs I've ever done in my whole life. Manuel was always very professional, friendly, helpful and allowed us to enjoy two hours of magic. A Service of wine and finger food on board quality 5 stars. This experience is amazing and I recommend everyone who visits the beautiful city of Porto to mark this program with Manuel.

Amazing! Book it! - Don’t wait, book it now! This was a marvelous start to our day. We did a mid morning tour and had plenty of time to get from the cruise terminal to the marina by taxi. Manuel (Captain) handled the boat beautifully and our guide (who I cannot remember her name) was fantastic. She did a wonderful job narrating the trip and also knew when just to let us soak it all in. We also we served wine and charcuterie and the both were amazing. We watched boat tours of 50-100 people go by and were so happy we were doing this as a small group of two.

An unforgettable experience - We can’t thank Manuel and John enough for this amazing experience. Our boat tour with Manuel and John on the Douro River was the absolute highlight of our time in Porto. The boat was beautiful and impeccably cared for, and the experience felt wonderfully personal. John shared fascinating insights about the city and Portuguese culture, and we were treated to delicious local wine and cheese, sourced by its Porto locals. It was an unforgettable experience — we feel so lucky to have chosen them!

The best option for a private experience in Porto you won’t forget - I was lucky enough to find Manuel’s private Chater for an afternoon with friends during our trip to Porto and could not have chosen better! Manuel and Bernardo were friendly and made us feel comfortable and shared incredible wines and bites. We had a great time and highly recommend this private boat tour! Great way to relax and see the city in a new way.

A perfect day on the Douro! - Fantastic boat tour! With our four teens (13, 15, 17, 17) we loved every moment. The captain even added an extra swim in the Douro. Delicious local food, top-quality service — friendly and professional. Highly recommended!
