Wonderful private, guided boat ride on the Duoro! - Absolutely wonderful experience with the private boat tour with SS Amazing Duoro!! A perfect way to learn about the history of the bridges and sights along the river. The 4 of us (2 adults, a teenager and a 9 year old) had so much fun! The boat is extremely comfortable, the food and drinks are delicious, and Susana and Sergio are incredibly gracious and knowledgeable guides. The other group tour boats we saw on the water do not compare to the comfort and enjoyment of the SS Amazing Duoro tour. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you will love it!

A delightful experience - How lucky we were to be met by Susanne and Sergio for our Douro River tour. Susanne has an intimate Knowledge of the river and bridges and shared many stories with us. And we were surprised when she brought out wine, cheese and strawberries. It was truly a wonderful time.

Fantastic Experience - This is a superb tour and my favorite in all of Porto. The guides went to great lengths to provide us with experiences much beyond expectations and I cannot thank them enough. Their boat is beautiful, comfortable and the food provided was excellent. The guides are passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. Their attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company and will absolutely book with them again on my next trip to Porto. Thank you for a wonderful time !
