Daytime and sunset are separate options; not suited to reduced mobility. 4.97 from 71 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. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Arrive 15 minutes earlier. - 32 start times: between 10:00 and 19:30 - Food included: Port wine ## Key facts - Price: from €59 per person - Duration: 2h 10m - Rating: 4.97/5 from 71 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Likely to sell out - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Douro Captain ## What's included - Port wine - VAT at the legal rate in force - Certified crew - Music ## Itinerary 1. **Douro Marina** (pass by, no stop) - Start your experience in the beautiful Douro Marina in the middle of the village of Afurada, Vila Nova de Gaia 2. **Ponte da Arrabida** (pass by, no stop) - Enjoy the imposition of the concrete bow of the Arrabida bridge built in 1963 3. **Jardins do Palacio de Cristal** (pass by, no stop) - Enjoy the river's crystal garden where you can see the ceiling of the Rosa Mota Pavilion. 4. **Alfandega Porto Congress Centre** (pass by, no stop) - See the building of the Porto Customs, now used as a conference and exhibition center. 5. **Cais De Gaia** (10m) - Contemplate the magnificent historic area where you can enjoy the wine cellars of Porto and the charismatic Rabelo boats on one of the shores. 6. **Dom Luis I Bridge** (pass by, no stop) - Enjoy the magnitude and beauty of the Luis I Bridge, one of the icons of the city of Porto 7. **Praca Da Ribeira** (pass by, no stop) - Enjoy the area of Ribeira do Porto, a must-see point of our city, and contemplate its unique construction houses in the city. 8. **Reserva Natural Estuario do Douro** (pass by, no stop) - The landscape in the Douro estuary and surrounding is captivating.
