Perfect 2 hour tour of... - Perfect 2 hour tour of coast. Tomás was a wonderful tour guide explaining the history of the bridges and landscape. When we asked questions, he answered them in great detail. Our first part of the tour was raining but luckily they provided towels and coverage on the boat. We were offered three wine tastings with snacks and they were delicious. Our small boat fit 8 people which was a great size. Would recommend!

A great experience - The guides were informative and entertaining. The small group (4 couples) allowed us the opportunity to get to know people from other countries.

A fantastic cruise with Boating Porto! - We had a brilliant time with Ricardo and his colleague on a two hour afternoon cruise on the River Douro. There were 7 of us on total on the boat so really personal. Ricardo was fantastic - full of knowledge, friendly and approachable. The wine, Port and snacks were tasty. This really was a fantastic experience and for the price great value too. If you’re considering a boat trip on the Douro go with these guys rather than the larger boats - much more personal and enjoyable.

Nice evening by boat in Porto - The trip was very nice. We had a small boat and were a group of 6 people. The hosts told us a lot about the city of Porto and the Portwine tasting was amazing. Each wine came with a small snack and we could have a wine refill if we wanted. The atmosphere was relaxed and we definitely recommand the tour with Ricardo & Antonio.
