Traveler reviews
Beautiful Douro trip
The boat was spacious for seating and having breakfast and lunch. Good staff and food. Amazing going through the 3 locks by hydroelectric dams. 9 hour journey but went very well.
Fabulous panoramas.
A fabulous moment during the descent of the Douro by boat. Tasting Porto with a breathtaking panoramic view. The guide Pedro Costa enriched the tour with stories and anecdotes; truly friendly and available.
