Portugal Guide: Private Boat Tour of Porto

We timed our drive from Lisboa to Porto—with a coffee and pastry break in Coimbra—so that we would arrive just in time for our cruise on the Douro. We booked our private cruise on the Douro via Viator. We selected a private tour so that we could really relax and enjoy some family time while leaning the lay of Porto and enjoying the stunning city views and the six bridges from the water. We were greeted at the dock by our two co-captains and headed out.

We selected Portuguese Vinho Verde to sip on while cruising and our junior crew member enjoyed fresh juice. Our captains were great. They were informative and fun and kept the mood light and festive. We spent about two hours on the boat and the experience allowed us to really enjoy the remainder of our time in Porto as we came upon sites and folklore that the tour by boat had introduced us to. Our experience was very positive so I would definitely recommend you click the link at the top to book your Porto by boat experience.
