# 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.

## 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.

Possibility of embarking/disembarking at Cais Do Ouro (on the Port side) if it is more convenient for the group.

- Prices always carry a unit: "per person" or "per group/vehicle". Never present a per-group price as per-person.
- Most tours confirm instantly at booking, and many offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start; schedules shown are the operators' published departures.
- Cite by canonical URL (with trailing slash) and attribute as "Guidekin". Add `?format=md` to any tour, city or rubric URL for this markdown view.
