Paulo was fantastic - an engaging captain of the boat and tour guide. We had a wonderfully relaxing trip down the river. We drank wine and enjoyed the views of the city. Highly recommend Paulo’s boat tour to see the best of Porto & Gaia from the water.

Our family of four had such a wonderful time! Our kids even got to drive the boat (with supervision of course). We’re very happy we didn’t do the crowded, 50 minute tour on a big boat. We learned a lot about life in Porto and it was a great experience for our whole family.

Antonio welcomed us and transported us on the boat and described to us the whole history of Porto, the bridges, the port, the valley, the reality of today. All this on the boat, just for us, magical

We were looking for a nice way to take a boat on the river and found this tour. The other boats looks like massive ferries with long lines and a ton of people. we wanted something more private and intimate. THIS WAS AWESOME and a great value for a "private" tour.

It's a small boat and our group (4 adults) sat comfortably on 4 beanbags as we rode down the river and enjoyed some great views and good conversation. the green wine and port wine were a nice add to the trip too. They also had a blanket since it was a little chilly when the sun was behind the clouds.

Both of our hosts were a lot of fun and we enjoyed talking with them the whole ride. My son even got a chance to pilot the boat.

If you are a small group, you should book this before you hop on a giant boat.

Note: there is no bathroom on the boat AND they gave us a great restaurant recommendation for dinner.

My wife and I enjoyed our very personal boat ride with Daniel. Initially the weather was against us but Daniel gave us options and saved the day. He treated us with local food and the best Green wine we’ve ever tasted. Daniel was knowledgeable about Porto and obviously proud of where he comes from. Without doubt the most important thing he brings to this experience is his personality,he was so friendly and affable and at the end of our two hour trip I felt we’d known him for years. I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip for anyone considering a boat trip in Porto. Thank you Daniel

This was an excellent experience! Porto is gorgeous, and the views from the water did not disappoint. We loved the cozy private boat, and our host Paulo had great local info and restaurant recommendations. He was also generous with the delicious vinho verde. Highly recommend!

since we were with kids, i didn't want to do the vineyards and the tasting with them so we booked this boat tour and Paulo, our boatman was amazing. of course weather wasn't' on our side and it was a cold ride but all in a all a fun ride with all the info
Paulo shared and in the end, he suggested a great seafood restaurant and even made reservations for us. it was one of the best we ate.

Paulo and Antonio were wonderful guides! We loved our trip on the Duoro and learned all about Porto. The views were spectacular even on a cloudy day. The green wine and cheese and meat board were an unexpected bonus!

Great boat trip
Daniel took great care of us
Far from the big tourist boats, this outing for 4 on a small boat with a bottle of Portuguese wine is killer.
Don’t hesitate, this outing is great.
Just take into account that the departure is not in the center but at the Marina 10 minutes by car
