Porto Boat Rides

Ivo was very friendly and tried to make us comfortable even if there are complaints from other passengers regarding the mic making a sound when not in use. The tour itself was great, the view amazing as well as the experience of tasting different wines and learning how dedicated the people of the wineries. Lunch was good too and the staff of The River was accommodating too. Overall I would recommend this tour! Oh and Andrea the driver was also kind to give us free bottled water.

My fiancé and I had a fantastic time on this wine tour. Our guide, Delfina, was hilarious, knowledgeable about the Douro valley, and an incredible person to have lead our journey. Our driver was also great. He was timely and very professional. We thoroughly enjoyed the boat cruise but I would say that a large portion of it was directly in the sun, so it would be advisable to tell customers to bring sunscreen or a hat in the future so everyone is aware. The port tasting portion of the trip was also enjoyable and we learned a lot from the vineyard guides. Also, definitely want to note that the food at The River delicious and the meal portions were decent. We all enjoyed a three course meal along with unlimited red or white wine. The entire journey was around 10 hours but definitely worth checking out!

This was a great tour. I highly highly recommend it if you have a free day while in Porto. They pick you up on time in a nice AC Wifi van. The tour guide wade funny and accommodating for those with mobility issues. They give two two very different wineries to see which is good. The lunch is not an ordinary lunch. It’s a three course meal with unlimited wine. It was amazing! Only caution it is very hot. The tour makes it as cool as possible but just to be aware when traveling. We would do it again!

This was the most amazing experience! Best tour I have ever been on. The scenery, the history, the wine, and the food were all fantastic and our guide Ivo made it all come together smoothly. He was entertaining and full of stories about the area. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Ivo. Both he and our skilled driver made the tour carefree, fun, and unforgettable.

Met very nicely people and had a wonderful tour. I would have preferred a smaller group as a lot of waiting entailed. Lunch was delicious and our guide was very good but because of size of group it was difficult to get all the info if you weren’t up front. Good value overall

The tour was a lot of fun. The only real issue we had was that it was very difficult to hear the driver as we sat in the back of the van and we had three large adults in the rear seats with little leg room. Lunch was a nice restaurant with good service but the food was mediocre . The wineries were very interesting and informative and the wine and cheese is served were delicious

Incredible tour. Milena was an amazing, funny, knowledgeable guide and Pedro was a great driver! Felt very safe on very windy mountain roads. The Douro valley is absolutely beautiful. I loved that we sampled wines from a smaller company that I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to try otherwise. Lunch was also delicious and at a very nice restaurant. The river cruise was the perfect way to end the day. Absolutely beautiful. Be prepared for the weather though! It was HOT during our tour and while the van was air conditioned, it was not really strong enough to alleviate most of the heat. Still 100% worth it though even if it’s hot.

Such an easy way to take in the beauty of the Duoro Valley - we really enjoyed the chance to let others take care of the details while we got to enjoy them. Good information about port wines without having to take a long lodge tour. It was interesting to sample at both a large vineyard & a very small one, & lunch was very nice. And who wouldn't like a relaxing cruise along this river? So beautiful. The communication prior to departing was great (check your emails & meet at McDonalds!) & by the time we returned we felt like our guide & driver were our old friends - thank you Caterina & Rui!
