This was a lovely trip. Folk on the boat were very accommodating and with only the 5 of us we got great service. A relaxing few hours on the river . Only thing was it’s a bit far out to walk in 23* Thankfully my daughter has the Uber App.

It was magnificent! We were lucky with the weather and saw a wonder sunset in the ocean at the end of the tour. Also there were only us(a couple) so it turned out to be very private tour. All people on board (capital Castillo and Eduardo) were so nice and polite. We saw Porto city center and Gaia, ponte Luis and arrabida are so cool from water. Slow pace made it possible to chill and relax. Port wine was also good. Highly recommend!

Relaxing boat ride up the river then out to the ocean. Immediate connection with the other guests made it even more enjoyable. Could have easily spent another hour or two on the trip. The two captains offered information at first and I'm sure they had more to share, but we were having so much fun visiting with each other that we didn't take advantage of all their knowledge. The trip was a hit for us because it allowed for a new friendship to develop while surrounded with beauty and restfulness.
