First visit to Portugal and the Duoro Valley - Maru was our tour guide during our first trip to Portugal and she was exceptional! We enjoyed the tour itself, but also got a good feel for Portugal both historically and currently. Thank you, Maru! We certainly would recommend this to everyone!

Wonderful walk. - Excellent tour! The attention of the crew and the service teams, with a focus on the staff of waiters and waiters, is attentive to every detail from breakfast to lunch, passing through the tasting of the excellent and good Porto wine.
As a suggestion, I suggest placing a small panel from Cais da Estiva to identify the place of shipments because only those of the competition stand out.

Cruise on the Douro - Flexible agency. Service on board is very well oiled and helpful staff. The meal is hearty and quality.
Too bad there is not more seating outside and the sound is inaudible in the cabin.
Relaxed day but disappointed by the scenery from Porto. I think a shorter cruise would have been enough. The passage of the locks is impressive.

Great trip up the river. Shame about the trip back to Porto - I would have awarded 5 stars, but the final part from Regua to Porto was not as good or well orgnised as the previous seven & a half hours.
This was because:
~ on disembarkation, there were no communications as to where & when the return transport would be, & there was very little shade or comfort while we waited on the quay in the sun for more than half an hour for the coaches to arrive. We eventually got underway around 4.30.
~ the End Point was supposed to be at a bus stop on "Avenida dos Aliados, 4000 Porto, Portugal", and estimated to be around 5.30. However, due to the late departure from Regua, the coach did not get into Porto until after 6 o'clock, and the drop off point was south of the Douro near the Ponte Luis 1. This was about half an hour's walk to Aliados, or around 15 minutes on the bus - not including the 17 minute wait for a bus to Aliados to arrive when the first scheduled bus did not arrive at all.
As a consequence, I was very late meeting my friends at Aliados, and we were all late for our dinner 7pm booking nearby.
It is a shame the final hour an a half of the day was not delivered as promised.
As regards the actual boat trip on the Rota do Douro, this was excellent, with breakfast, a hearty lunch with local wine, and interesting commentaries about the sights either side of the river

Nice staff. But never this again. - This turned out to be more or less a catastrophe. Maybe I didn’t do enough research. Let me start by giving applause to everyone in the crew who went out of their way to actually give people a nice experience. But that’s simply not enough!
‘Full day Douro river cruise’ is actually half way by ferry boat and back by bus. It does say so in the text if you interpret correctly. But since it says “From Porto to Régua by bus” and “Pick up in Porto harbour 08:30 by ship”, one can easily misunderstand.
‘Ship’ is actually something similar to a dilapidated cruise liner. ‘Breakfast’ is a white piece of dry bread / premade cake and black coffee from can. ‘Lunch’ is cafeteria kind of stewed sliced beef and oven potatoes with overcooked vegetables. Premade day before and heated up. I asked the crew. Yack. You also get 1/2 bottle of undrinkable 2€ red wine. Cannot recommend this if you like me, was expecting a nice local experience.
There’s NO SHADE on the cruise line! So, it’s either indoor in unbearable noise from hundreds of people, running and screaming children, or outside on top deck in 40°C unprotected sun. I couldnt really choose between crying or laughing.
Dropped of in Régua (most people was continuing on, don’t know how or why) we were waiting 1h30min in unbearable heat before big bus finally arrives and drive the group back.
I do at lot of these tours all over the world and it’s my 4th trip in Porto. I can find no reason at all to recommend this tour. You’ll be better off with a wine tasting tour by mini bus / maybe combined with a short river tour by small boat, and pay the difference.
