“There are a coyple of companies with which you can do this tour. I was with a cokpany which had no covered section (no way to get out of the sun). There were no chairs, only wooden benches with no backs. The narration was provided in multiple languages, but that made it very dry and somewhat boring.”

One hour on the Douro at golden hour, from Cais da Ribeira. See Luís I Bridge and Porto-Gaia views with breezy comfort.
“The sunset tour was brought forward from 6.30 until 5pm (on 20th October) due to poor light (email from organiser) however given this was a one hour tour and the sun wasn’t setting until 6.45 it was never going to be a sunset tour. Also we expected some form of narration whether person or earplugs and there was neither. Silence. So you are paying to sail up and down for one hour without any description of what you are looking at. Only after the sailing did we realise many have also said this on the reviews. FYI No opportunity to purchase a drink either however this wasn’t expected by us.”
