It needs two passengers to sail, Port is for adults only and the operator asks for moderate fitness. 4.77 from 325 reviews at €35 per person for 1h 40m. In our comparison: #19 of 21 in Six Bridges Cruise, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Discover the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia from a truly special perspective aboard an elegant vessel on the Douro River. This tour offers a unique, relaxing, and exclusive experience for a small group of a maximum of 9 people, away from the crowds of traditional city cruises. For approximately 2 hours, we will sail along the riverbanks, allowing you to appreciate the iconic landscapes of the cities as well as various monuments with their unique stories.
