The crew made sure that everyone was having a fantastic time. From the river, we went out into the sea just before the sunset and saw a beautiful sunset.

Lovely boat ride. Courteous and helpful staff. You get to see a nice side of Porto. I’d take this tour again.

Amazing sunset. Beautiful boat. Helpful staff. (& We stayed out until the sun actually set, even though it was longer than advertised!)

Really nice and friendly crew. Very god service and explanation on the sights that were seen. Booking was easy and timing was perfect.

Susan_M

We took the 11:00am rude had a great time sailing along the river! We appreciated that this was not a guided tour, which made it more relaxing. The Captain and first mate were very nice and answered all our questions and pointed important landmarks. Definately would recommend them!

We last minute booked a day trip from Lisbon to Porto. What better way to see the city from the river. Sergio and Tiago were very knowledgeable and made the excursion memorable. It was just us and another couple on the boat so perfect intimate experience. We had a lovely experience. Sergio, we hope you come and visit Arizona!!

Deborah_H

The captain was very hospitable. Answered all our questions.. would be helpful if they gave a commentary for everyone to hear while sailing.. not the whole time but some

John_B

Helpful tour guide and nice boat. Beautiful sunset. Nice to meet others from different countries. The port white wine is great!

Joanna_B

It was a self guided tour. We had already explored the city ourselves. We went down the river to the Louis 1 bridge and then back past the marina and out to the Atlantic. The sunset was nice but it was expensive for what it was- a self guided tour, a small glass of port and bean bags to sit on at front of boat….

Lynne S

Everything was perfect. The crew was fantastic, with accommodations (wine, Porto, offer of blankets). I highly recommend
