Transport to the marina is not included. 5 from 151 reviews at €53 per person for 2h. **Best with a guide:** A shared yacht capped small, with an in-person guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese: 5 from 151 reviews at €53 per person. Trade-off: Review base still small at 151. (last checked July 26, 2026) ## Overview A once-in-a-lifetime experience in the heart of the city may be had by taking a river cruise on the Porto, where you can visit famous sites and be guided by experienced captains. A journey that crosses six bridges in Porto offers a special fusion of adventure, architecture, and history. Sailing beneath these buildings, which include the striking Dom Luís I Bridge and the graceful Ponte do Infante, offers sweeping views and a glimpse into Porto's rich maritime history. It's an amazing adventure that blends the excitement of discovery with historical relevance, providing a new angle on the beauty of the city from the Douro River's waters. ## Key facts - Price: from €53 per person - Duration: 2h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 151 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Opo Boat Tours ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Shared Tour 26ft up to 8 | €53 / person | English, Spanish, Portuguese | Shared Small-Group: Explore Porto’s iconic sights from the Douro River, relaxed and intimate experience.
