Private 2-hour Douro boat cruise from Freixo Marina for up to four, with bridge views, wine and port, photos, and sunset options.

“Wow! We really enjoyed our private cruise with Bernardo! I booked this as a date night activity, and it was perfect. The trip started a few bridges west of the Dom Luis and went under the 6 bridges of Porto, making our way to the ocean and back. It was a full two hours. The guide was knowledgeable about history and provided recommendations for the rest of our trip around the city. It included a bottle of wine and the host graciously shared homemade Tawny Port wine as well. We had a wonderful time!”

“Douro Balley was extremely Smokey due to fires. I would expect a tour company to notify their out of country guests of this unhealthy situation. I had expected a beautiful wine region tour, instead I was nauseous the entire day. We should have been informed and offered option to postpone or cancellation. This was extreme smoke. Please know that our tour guide did her best”

Monica our guide was excellent, her English was perfect and she gave us the right blend of history and Fun. She was as enthusiastic and proud to show us all the sights as if she were seeing them with fresh eyes. All of the experiences at the two wineries, boat ride and lunch were curated with care. We felt safe being able to try all the wine tastings and not have to drive. Pricey but worth it!!”

We were taken care of and had everything we needed. The mini van was…”
