5.00Highly recommend this private cruise! Lovely couple that took us on the 6 Bridges Cruise. We had multiple places to sit on the boat and warm blankets ready for us with a delicious spread of meats and cheeses plus port wine and specialty drinks. Great experience!
Best experience of my life

5.00Best experience in Porto! An afternoon worth a life. A unique feeling, a journey through a unique and exciting experience along the river Douro. I have no way to describe what Paulo and his crew do for us throughout the journey, it is something unique... the affection, passion and their dedication are the values that awaken the basis of this experience, but still there is something magical that I cannot explain. If for me, who was born in the city of Porto and residing in Porto was something unique, I don't know how it is that a heart of who visits us will stand
Simply enjoy the family in an idyllic scenario with VIP service!

5.00The day seems promising, sun shines the city wakes up... arrival to Afurada marina quiet, no traffic and parking available. We were welcomed by Nadia with great sympathy presenting the Carbernet, beautiful boat, classic of 63 very well preserved. The historic areas of Porto and Gaia are beautiful but the visa post from Rio is almost without words! The Skipper Paulo guided the river up safely and some historical details and curiosities of the city, Nadia always pay attention to our comfort, provided port tonic and juice accompanied by delicious aperitifs. Our 2,5 year old son especially loved the part of 2 brave ducks who seem to have adopted Paul and Nadia! Morning tour proved to be the perfect choice for family walk! Thank you
Dream Morning in the River

5.00One morning in April, with a fantastic sunshine, the experience was even greater, which in itself was simply incredible due to the staff of soulDouro (Nadia and Paulo), two people who are part of that river and those shores forming the true soul of the Douro. Extremely friendly, friendly giving also room to privacy and providing all possible conditions for an unforgettable morning. Thank you for everything. Since the tour is over we feel the desire to repeat, which will surely happen.
A must-see in Porto!

5.00Taking a boat tour in Porto is good but doing it with almadouro.pt is so much better!! Paolo and Nadia welcomed us very warmly for a private cruise of 2 hours. The boat is very comfortable and we were served like kings: Port, white wine and charcuterie/cheese board, all while sailing under the bridges of Porto. The boat picks up at the marina of Afourada. This is a very typical area where you can eat afterwards. An incredible moment we will remember! Recommended!
Great sunset cruise despite a windy day

5.00We had a wonderful cruise. The crew was very hospitable, responsive and shared a lot of local knowledge about the bridges, Gaia and Porto. It was an extremely windy day but they kept us safe and warm with blankets. They made sure we enjoyed the gorgeous sunset and surprised us with their famous treat pastel del nata.
An experience we won’t forget

5.00Nadia and Paulo made us extremely welcome and comfortable. We chose the 5pm cruise to watch the sunset, the river, bridges and views of Porto are stunning, Nadia’s knowledge of Porto was very impressive. We were provided with blankets, port drinks and charcuterie boards it was amazing. They are exceptional hosts and attention to detail was second to none, thank you both so much and for taking photos for us too it is an experience we will never forget. We were a party of four girls ages 29, 38, 44 and 70 and all of us highly recommend this trip.
