Wonderful experience. Beautiful views of Pinhão and the Douro Valley. Hosts were fantastic. Was able to capture plenty of great photos.

Very pleasant boat trip from Pinhão to see the vineyards and lovely scenery of the upper Douro. Very friendly and informative host. Tasted two wines and no pressure to buy. Very enjoyable trip.

Fabulous. Professional and personal service so much better than the others. My son went with another company and it wasn’t nearly as good. Highly recommend

Beautiful experience. No engine noise or diesel fumes to get in the way of a pleasant ride on the river. David was very knowledgeable, and we appreciated all the information he shared. Highly recommend.

Our trip today with David and Fabiana was truly a wonderful experience! I booked this tour especially because it’s a solar boat and because the reviews were great. We were not disappointed! The boat left on time, the ride was smooth and very enjoyable and the guides were extremely nice and knowledgeable. It was a treat to hear the waves splashing instead of a loud engine… they should have all solar boats on the river. 😁 The views were magnificent, the two wines very enjoyable and all the information presented in a great way. I would not take another tour. This is the one! You won’t regret it!!!.

We were traveling with our two teenagers, so the winery/vineyard heavy tours were not appealing - which made this option very attractive. And I'm so glad we did it. The intentionally small size of the group (only about 10 people total), the quiet of the boat (solar-powered = no loud engine noise), the engaging guides all made for a fantastic experience. Looking at the other boats that were packed to the gills with super loud motors made me appreciate our choice of this tour even more.

Great choice! Very refreshing and special to find a trip so different from the many others. I was very happy to support the idea of powering a boat with solar energy and I wish them all the best in pursuing their goal of creating a more sustainable way to explore the area. It shows respect for the gift of the land and water and what they provide. If you enjoy a smaller boat (up to 10 people) and a personal touch Fabiana and Davide are the perfect choice. They are very approachable, calm and knowledgeable, from wines, community, river facts to fishing and wildlife. And there is no engine noise to disturb the peace, it just fits. Thanks to both very much for the hospitality!

Yesterday we had a lovely cruise over de Douro. We enjoyed being on a boat with only a small group. The whole cruise was very relaxing and even a bit educational , learning something about the history of the area accompanied with 2 wine tastings.

The solar boat was great- quiet as can be with no exhaust fumes. The guide was knowledgable and interesting. We tasted two wines: a nice table wine and port wine. We took the 6pm trip which was lovely: we were virtually alone on the river and the evening light and the birdsong were wonderfully relaxing.

Thé staff were excellent - it felt like a personal tour in that they answered all your questions and offered interesting in formation. They were friendly and fun. The boat was small, comfortable and quiet. Solar great. Wine tasting a bit of added fun. Highly recommend.
