Amazing afternoon sailing the Douro - We hired the yacht as a group of 5, to celebrate 3 fiftieth birthdays. We took the 2 hour option and added the cheese and meat charcuterie board. We also had a selection of lovely drinks. The trip was fantastic, slowly sailing the river from the Atlantic, under the 6 bridges and back to the marina. We were given amazing commentary explaining everything we saw and were allowed to sit on the top deck and relax. All in all, a truly amazing trip well worth every penny. In addition, the weather forecast was terrible and I was able to change the date of our booking directly. Brilliant service. Thank you.

What a night. Best crew -... - What a night. Best crew - hospitable, knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful boat, luxurious way to see the city and bridges. “Refreshments” are an understatement. They fed us perfectly curated drinks and bites the entire trip. Highlight of our stay in Porto.

Portugal with friends - Our travel planner had done a lot of research regarding private tours and highly recommended OPO Tours. Was he ever right! Even before getting on the yacht, Alberto, the captain reached out to me to make sure we had a personalized experience. The trip along the Douro River was so relaxing. We saw and learned about the bridges, the wineries, the buildings etc. A variety of drinks were offered. I would highly recommend the white port tonic. We opted to pay extra for a charcuterie board which was plentiful and accompanied by fresh fruit. Well worth it while enjoying the relaxing ride and drinks. I was surprised with a birthday cake which was so thoughtful and made for a great ending to a wonderful trip. Thank you Alberto and Mr Camilo for your attentiveness and an unforgettable trip down the Douro!

Amazing experience - From start to finish this was fantastic; we were incredibly fortunate to have the perfect sunset which made it even more memorable . The team went out of their way to look after us ; welcome drink with crisps , commentary on all the river sites and bridges : paid extra for the cheese/meats and fruit which were beautifully served . Blankets if you needed .. a great way to celebrate a special birthday with friends .Finished off with port and chocolate. Highly recommended.

Can’t wait to book again when we are back in Portugal! - Opo Boat Tour was the highlight of our trip! It was a unique private experience and we are so glad we did this experience rather than a big group tour. Alberto was amazing! He is very communicative, attentiveness, informative and really made the whole experience 10/10! We were a party of 6 with 2 kids, and he was great with the kids! Tour never felt rushed and learned a lot about the history of Porto! The food and wine pairing is a must! We are still talking about how this was the highlight of our trip and something we’ll look back on! We look forward to booking again next time we’re back in Portugal!

River cruise - My boyfriend and I had a great time. Very chill romantic sunset cruise. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate with our much wanted sunset but the crew did everything possible to make sure we still had the best time. I would highly recommend this river cruise and the charcuterie. The drinks they served were great and the port wine to end it off was delightful. The crew was so amazing and nice it made our time much better and also gave us some great history about Porto. Would definitely do again when back in Porto!

Fully recommend this Tour specially if you are in Porto for your Bday - I fully recommend this tour specially the 7pm one (during summer) so you can enjoy the most magical sunset in Porto. Alberto Moreira and his crew made my 35th Birthday celebration a special one to remember. They offered me and my family local wine, drinks and even surprised me with a delicious red velvet cake. Request to have Paulo Neves as your captain, he was very nice and his co-pilot too. The perfect boat trip across Porto bridges and marina.
