The Best Experience of Our Portugal Trip

5.00My husband and I were visiting Portugal in late May from Washington, USA and had the most amazing experience on OPO’s 2 hour Douro River sunset yacht cruise with Alberto + his assistant (sorry I didn't catch his name)! We were celebrating our honeymoon and his yacht was beautiful, the music + views were perfect and the vibes were immaculate from start to finish! Alberto is clearly so passionate about what he does and it shows in every single detail! Being a Porto native, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, its history, little facts and various local recommendations (spa, bars, lounges, restaurants and day trips) that made it all feel extra special. This ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip to Portugal! Alberto and his assistant also went above and beyond with the service. They took so many photos for everyone, made cocktails, kept snacks and drinks replenished, helped organize bags and shoes, navigated/communicated smoothly around other boats and made sure everyone was comfortable the entire time. His assistant was so helpful toward everyone and super attentive throughout the tour! One note for future guests: please bring cash if you would like to leave a tip. Their email mentioned that tipping is welcome and they truly deserve it!! Out of 9 people on our cruise, only my husband and I tipped Alberto + his assistant, which was honestly so sad to see considering how much care and effort they put into the entire experience for everyone. They genuinely went above and beyond for us all and their service absolutely deserves recognition! Oh and bring a light jacket bc it got a bit chilly and windy during blue hour post sunset! If you’re visiting Porto, do not miss this amazing yacht cruise! It was beautiful, fun and SO unforgettable!!!
Alberto is a spectacular host.

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.
A real pleasure cruise

5.00The host was delightful and had a real passion for the cruise. The drinks were lovely. While the clouds robbed us of the sunset the trip was a success.
