Wonderful experience, beautiful views, great boat, lovely staff, delicious tapas! - Thank you ever so much Alex and Kika for the lovely afternoon and for taking such good care of us with the delicious tapas and wonderful local vinho verde. We enjoyed the beautiful, spacious and comfortable boat and talking to you about life in Porto. We really loved your company, knowing when to engage in conversation with us and explaining about Porto and when to leave us to do our own thing. Porto is beautiful seen from the river, an experience one shouldn't miss!

Must do! - What an extraordinary way to see Porto! Alex and Leo were fun, knowledgeable and accommodating. They provided not only an exceptional tour of Porto under the 6 bridges but also had so much to share that made the ride interesting and pertinent. And the wine and cheese & meat plate were icing on the top!

Fab Private Boat Birthday Trip’ - This was a fantastic boat trip. We are a family of 8 (adults) and there was plenty of room on the lovely, snazzy boat. Alex and Leo looked after us brilliantly, giving us history/info, wine/fizz galore and fab charcuterie/cheese board en route. Exactly 2 hours to the Atlantic Ocean and back. A great birthday treat, thankyou!
Just remember it goes from Ristorante Marina do Freixo, about 2 miles from the Cais de Ribeira. However we got 2 taxis from there for 4 euros each, took about 5 mins to get there.

VIP friendly and great fun river cruise - Adriano and Gustavo were fabulous hosts. We enjoyed the informative yet informal sharing of key facts and stories as we travelled along the river. Their hospitality was excellent and we had a great experience tasting their local vinho verde and superb platter of cheeses and meats while chilling to our own playlist on the music system. A great experience with a very friendly crew. Thank you so much.

Private boat trip in Porto - My girlfriend's and I visited Porto for a long weekend and the boat trip by Kika and Alex was the highlight of the weekend! They were super friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food platter was delicious, the home made wine from Alex's family vine yard was amazing, and the views of Porto and the bridges were beautiful. Would highly recommend!

HIGHLY recommend you add this to your Porto itinerary - We had the most wonderful tie on the Atalaia Gold 2 hour '6 bridges' tour! The boat was stunning and our skippers Kiki and Alex really took care of us. We learnt about the bridges, and some other local facts and enjoyed a delicious charcuterie board and local wine. Would HIGHLY recommend you add this to your Porto itinerary, it was one fo the highlights of our trip!

Private 2 hour 6 bridge boat trip - This boat trip was such a wonderful experience. Kika and Leo were excellent hosts- we felt safe on the water, their knowledge of Porto was very informative. The homemade wine went down very well and the charcuterie board was delicious. We had 2 hours on the boat and it was an absolute treat. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

Amazing sunset cruise! - Where do I start…from the get go the communication was great-my questions were answered quickly and in a friendly manner. I was called before the excursion and we agreed a meeting point.
When we arrived we were taken to the boat and wow it was gorgeous-exceeded all our expectations! Clean and beautifully furnished.
Our skippers, Kika and Alex were very friendly and knowledgeable.
We got to enjoy some of their friend’s local sparkling wine and they prepared a very impressive charcuterie board, with ample to go around for 7 of us!
The tour lasted a leisurely 2 hours, where we got some great views of the city!
We had a great time, and was the highlight of our girls trip! Thank you Atalaia Gold, we will be sure to recommend you!
