Guidekin's take

The budget way into the Douro: two wine stops with port samples, lunch, an hour on the river and WiFi on board, with hotel pickup as a paid option.

Water is sold on board and tips are extra; not recommended for people with heart problems. 4.69 from 2,986 reviews at €55 per person for 10h 30m.

In our comparison: #41 of 41 in Douro Valley, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
