Sue and Peter Stevenson - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Jeso and Fabio were very informative and extremely friendly and caring. We felt the whole experience was well worth doing in a small group giving us chance to get to know the other five people. We would highly recommend this trip.

Dream tour with Sancha and Duarte - I loved the boat trip on the river Douro! The landscape is beautiful and the experience was even better thanks to Sancha and Duarte — super friendly, helpful and made everything a lot more special. I recommend even to those in the area, very well worth it!

Excellent boat trip well hosted - The boat trip was great. The two young men that hosted our trip were very polite and entertaining and very knowledgeable of Porto. The Wine and Port that was served to us was very tasty and again we were given loads of information on the origin of Port and wine in the Douro valley. All in all we had a fantastic time.

wonderful experience - We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Boating Porto! The pickup place is a small, empty harbor, easy to find. It can be reached either by a longer walk along the river or by a taxi. It’s a perfect activity for families, couples, or solo travelers seeking a memorable and intimate experience on the water.

Fun boat tour, not a lot of information but a really nice time - This is a very intimate, almost private boat ride, which is what we were hoping for. The boat itself was very nice. Guide was more hands-off and didn’t offer a lot of history of the area, but was personably and very friendly. He went out of his way to make a dinner reservation for us, which was amazing. The wine on the boat was lovely, we had one table wine and two port, and were offered refills of everything. There wasn’t much of a snack, just a few cookies. The tour itself was hard to figure out, communication beforehand with the company when I had a question was impossible. And standing at the marina/restaurant trying to find our guide was very confusing, and took some time. So be warned there’s no sign or mark, you just stand at the top of the marina near the restaurant and wait for them to call you. Can take a while to find them. Overall this was a wonderful, private experience on the boat and we had an amazing time! The guide and captain were both super nice. But if you’re looking for a lot of history (or a lot of snacks), this tour doesn’t have that. For the price, I definitely recommend.
