Description

Good to Know

Most Douro cruises are crowded and impersonal. This experience is different. This is a moment to slow down, enjoy a glass of wine a board with Portuguese Tapas, and experience Porto from the water like a local, with stories, conversation you won’t find on larger cruises. New Boat (2024). Here, you’ll: - Avoid tourist-packed boats - Enjoy a relaxed, private atmosphere - Connect with real locals - Experience the Douro in a more authentic way - Special occasion setup (birthday / proposal) - Wine and Portuguese Tapas Most of our guests say this was the highlight of their trip to Porto.

Ponte da Arrabida

It's a national monument. By Portuguese Engineer Edgar Cardoso. When it was inaugurated in 1963, it was the only one in Europe and who knows in the world with a single bow suspended in concrete. The story says that no one believed that the bridge could be completed because the area is very windy and the humidity is high, so the engineer studied a specific date to place the center part of the arch and thus complete the bridge.

Great experience, baby and kid friendly

We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children under 3 years old. Susana and her husband were very accommodating, catered to us and the kids. This was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of the trip. If you are looking for a kid friendly private boat tour like I was this is it !
