# Charm cruise in Porto with wine tasting

**Guidekin's take:** A small group cruise on boats low enough to pass under two of the city bridges and carry on to the river mouth where the Douro meets the sea, with Port wine poured on board and music. Daytime and sunset are separate options; not suited to reduced mobility. 4.98 from 84 reviews at €59 per person.

## Overview

We are local and super welcoming. We know Porto, its unique traditions and history. Don’t miss the opportunity to share this experience in a small group of people.
The characteristics of our boats will allow the passage through two of the most iconic bridges of the city, continuing towards the beautiful mouth of the Douro, where it will be possible to contemplate the sea and surrounding areas. 
I have tasted during your relaxing tour the wines of Porto that we will offer you, and a fourth surprise drink that will surely surprise you. 
When your experience is over, we promise you will learn a lot more about the city of Porto and the charismatic Porto wine and that our sympathy will stay in your memories of Porto.
