# Porto: Private Classic Boat on the River Douro 

**Guidekin's take:** The six bridges under sail rather than by motor: a private classic sailboat for up to ten from Ribeira to the river mouth, with a bottle of sparkling wine, a hammock and music on board. Priced per group; there is no guide, just the crew. 5 from 45 reviews at €350 per group/vehicle for 2h.

In our comparison: #16 of 40 in Private Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Exclusive tours of the 6 Bridges on board a Classic Sailboat, passing through the Historic area of Ribeira and ending at the Foz do Rio Douro (the only Sailboat to do the 6 Bridges Tour) 
Arrábida Bridge
Luís I Bridge
Infante Bridge
D. Maria Bridge
D. João I Bridge
Freixo Bridge

Ideal for small groups, to celebrate with family or friends while sailing along the Douro.
