Delightful way to know Porto!
Gayle G,Mar 23, 2026

5.00Alberto and Beatriz were so accommodating! This is an awesome way to start or end a trip in Porto. It’s our first day and we have been up for over 25 hours and this was still the perfect way to acclimate to lovely sunny Porto. Alberto regaled us with stories of the history of the area and in-depth local knowledge. He is an awesome resource for sightseeeng. We saw the opening of the Douro to the Atlantic and the 6 bridges and had some lovely port drinks. The boat is a lovely 42’ sailboat - a real joy, especially on a sunny day.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic family experience on a small yacht tour along the Douro River. The boat was comfortable and offered beautiful views of Porto and its iconic bridges. Alberto was an excellent host—friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. A relaxed, personal, and memorable way to see the city. We definitely will book with OPO Boat Tours with Alberto in the future!

5.00Alberto is knowledgeable, friendly, proactive, and thoughtful. His engaging and warm approach helped us immediately feel comfortable on his boat. From a local welcome cocktail to his comfort with local history made for an educational and memorable tour. We would recommend him without reservation and couldn’t have been happier with his tour. He happens to be a great photographer (as judged by my teenage daughters:)).

5.00The guides on the cruise were so friendly and informative. The boat cruised at a lovely, no wake speed while we noticed other tours flying up and down the river. The music was also very relaxing, the wine was excellent, and blankets were provided.

5.00The perfect way to be introduced to Porto and Gaia! Alberto and crew were knowledgeable and thoughtful. The perfect mix of info and relaxation! The cocktail and port tasting were both well timed and we left with amazing recommendations for a great day in Porto.
A Perfect Evening on the Douro

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Alberto was a marvelous host! Traffic was bad, but he accommodated those of us running late and still gave us a great tour. The boat was very comfortable--the blankets were key when the wind picked up. The drinks were tasty and plentiful and Alberto's stories about the city were interesting. But the real star was the Douro itself and the amazing views of the city and sunset. A truly memorable evening!
