Best Port & Tonic - Alberto—owner, captain, bartender, and charcuterie board extraordinaire—took our family on an unforgettable river tour. As a local, he’s full of knowledge about the area and shared great stories along the way. He’s also incredibly kind and welcoming, and he was more than generous with the wine tastings! He made the best port and tonic we had on our entire trip—seriously unforgettable. Highly recommend Alberto and OPO Tours for a fun, relaxed, and memorable experience on the river.

An Unforgettable Experience with OPO Boat Tours! - I can’t recommend this boat tour enough! Cruising along the Douro River was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. The views were absolutely stunning — from the terraced vineyards and rolling hills to the charming villages dotting the riverbanks. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, with plenty of space to relax and take in the scenery. Alberto, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the region’s history, wine production, and culture. It added so much depth to the experience. We even had the chance to taste some local port wine on board, which was a delightful touch along with the beautiful charcuterie board. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or just looking for a peaceful way to enjoy the landscape, this tour is a must-do. It was relaxing, informative, and truly memorable. Our 3 kids loved it so much that they didn’t want the tour to come to an end. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Highlight of our trip to Porto - We booked Opo Tours for a girls trip to Porto and were not disappointed. Alberto was really helpful when booking and gave us lots of tips of what to do/where to go in Porto during our stay. The trip itself was lovely and included lots of gorgeous food and drinks - it was the highlight of our weekend. Would recommend to anyone visiting the city!

Best part of our Portugal trip so far! - This was our favorite activity on our 12 day journey through Porto! Alberto and Claudio were amazingly service oriented. They are very knowledgeable about Porto historically, present day worldly and geographically. They were also very entertaining!!! The boat we were on was beautiful and comfy. We have 2 days left in this beautiful country before headed home and so far this has been the highlight of our trip. Very reasonably priced. Ann and Tony

Five Star River Tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Alberto was extremely communicative and accommodating. Not only was he knowledgeable about the history and culture of Porto, but had great recommendations for places to eat and visit during our stay. He was a lovely host, very charismatic and engaging, and took extra care to ensure that we were comfortable and enjoyed the experience. Very high quality and value— well worth the cost with the drinks that were included and duration of the boat ride. Shoutout to Camil as well, who was a joy to have around as he helped steer the boat and prepare our drinks! Would definitely recommend this experience, it was the highlight of our weekend in Porto.

Fantastic Sunset cruise! - Such a wonderful experience! We booked super last minute, and Alberto was incredibly accommodating. The ride was so relaxing … we sipped on delicious port tonics and vinho verde while cruising along. Alberto shared great stories and local history, which made the trip even more special. We were lucky with calm seas and made it all the way to the Atlantic to catch a beautiful sunset. Highly recommend! The boat was comfortable, the vibe was perfect, and Alberto (and Mr. Camille!) made it a ride to remember.
