Really enjoyable cruise, we chose to do it at 7pm to try and get all the sunset landscape and it was truly worth it. A nice way to cool down and learn about the city!

A wonderful relaxing cruise along the river seeing Porto from another perspective. Showed us places we wanted to visit and had some great spots for photos. Seamless and simple to book and board. Highly recommend.

Beautiful views and stunning scenery in a beautiful boat.
