Best day in Porto!
Published on Dec, 2024
Raul and his team gave a great experience! The boat was beautiful and the wine and treats were delicious. We enjoyed the spectacular view and the warm hospitality. It was great for the kids and they even lowered the sail and allowed the children to captain the boat! I cannot recommend this tour enough!! Thank you, Raul and George!
Romantic and personal river cruse
Published on Nov, 2024
This tour was AMaZING!! A very special experience for me and my husband! Raul is very kind and personable. He chatted with us about Porto's history and took some amazing pictures! The boat was nice and perfect for a romantic cruise up and down the river. Much more intimate that the large mass tourist boats you see. Highly reccomended.
Incredible Sunset Cruise!
Published on Sep, 2024
Raul was the best tour guide. So knowledgeable about Porto, wine, the sailing. We had such an amazing sunset cruise with him- highly recommend!!
Great experience and informative friendly guide
Published on Sep, 2024
The trip was great , we chose to go on the motor boat rather than the sailboat when we realized sailing in the river was less practical and the seats on the motor boat were very comfortable. The captain Raoul and crew are very friendly and informative. Views from the boat of the city were great and we got a chance to go out to the ocean to get a nice perspective. We also got a chance to taste different port wines on the boat. We were given a great recommendation for a seafood resterant a few blocks from the Marina where we had a wonderful meal and great service. I highly recommend this small group trip.
Wonderful river cruise!

This small group cruise was such a delight! Raul was so fun and kind and took us to some really beautiful spots. The boat was clean and comfortable. And the port we tasted was great! Absolutely recommend this trip!
