A breathtaking and memorable way to see Porto - This was the highlight of our 18 day trip to Spain and Portugal! The ship was well run and cute, Nadia did a great job of taking care of us with tapas and wine, and the views were breathtaking to say the least! I would book this again in a heartbeat!

5 Stars! - Thank you, Nadia and Paolo, for an unforgettable experience cruising the Douro River! Nadia was an exceptional host - warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about her beautiful city of Porto. Drinks and snacks were a lovely bonus, and Paulo gave us a smooth, relaxing ride while being just as hospitable. There’s no better way to do a river cruise than this - and to top it all off, my husband and I ended up with a completely private tour with just the two of us (which was the cherry on top). Absolutely perfect!

Best way to see Porto! - Nadia & Paulo are kind and generous hosts! My husband and I spent a beautiful afternoon with them cruising the Douro River in their small boat. Nadia seamlessly switched between English and Portuguese, providing explanations for us and the other couple. We enjoyed drinks and snacks and she brought us blankets when it got cooler outside. Forget the big boats - this tour is the way to see Porto through the eyes of local who clearly loves the city.

Magical River cruise - Amazing! Booked as a surprise for my 50th birthday. Nadia and Paulo went out of their way to make it such a memorable experience. Cannot recommend highly enough - an absolute must do experience if you are visiting Porto.

A magical day on the Douro- more than just a boat ride - I was lucky to live a truly unforgettable day with @almadouro.pt. This is not just any walk: it is an experience made with the soul. Paulo and Nadia are the heart of Alma Douro, and it shows in every detail. From the chosen route to the times, music, food, drinks... everything is thought out with care so you feel cared for, cared for and part of something special. I went with a Portuguese friend, but at the end of the tour we felt like a small floating family. We share laughter, stories, photos, phones... and even the start of new friendships. If you are looking for an authentic, soulful and very special experience in Porto, this is exactly what you need. Thank you, Alma Douro, therefore.

Best experience!! - Nadia and Paulo were the most amazing gracious friendly hosts! We were lucky and had the boat to ourselves and enjoyed every single minute of it. Nadia knew a lot about Porto and you could really tell her love for her city! The food spread was beautiful and delicious, courtesy of Nadia's amazing mother. Could not recommend this tour more. Seeing the susent over Porto and Gaia was stunning!

Gourgous boat trip - The boat tour is uniquely beautiful. We were 5 guests - a cool group from England, Switzerland, Spain and Porto. The view of Porto and Gaia from the water is unique and wonderful. The hosts, Nádia and Paulo, are real hosts, kind, warm and wonderful. Nádia knows Porto and can provide a lot of information about the buildings and landscapes. A fresh plate of delicacies and white sangria with strawberries round it off. Thank you so much Nádia and Paulo for the wonderful birthday surprise you gave me. I will never forget it. ❤️

Magical experience on the Douro River - Nadia and captain Paulo provided us the most incredible experience of our entire Portugal trip. As hosts, they are genuine people: friendly, accommodating, and enthusiastic. Our two-hour cruise was a safe and luxurious experience that seemingly made us the envy of the river on that beautiful day. As we relaxed at the front of the boat with blankets, sangria, snacks and jazzy music, we received many smiles and approving gestures from other boats and even people on shore. Most importantly, my wife was all smiles for the entirety of the experience. This will be a core memory for our relationship. Muito obrigada por tudo!
