Antonio and Christina were extremely kind and generous with looking after us and sharing any knowledge that they have of the area. Would highly recommend this over a larger group tour.

We left on time and travelled in the larger of the 2 boats which was much more comfortable. We didn’t know what route to expect - we didn’t’t go up river from the Marina do Freixo - but we went down to Fox and back up (we asked them to drop us off at Ponte Luis I which they did which saved us time as we had lunch at Taylor’s). The boat tootles along at a very gentle pace of around 3 knots and rowers/other boats overtook us, but we didn’t mind as it was great to chat to Paulo (skipper) and Antonio (his son). With the age gap, you get a generational perspective of how Porto has changed and its social history, as well as pointing out buildings/answering questions as we went along. We had a glass of vinho verde from one of Paulo’s chums and it was very nice. The trip took 1.5 hrs which was shorter than advertised but that’s because we asked to be dropped off earlier. We thoroughly enjoyed it.Absolutely delightful tour. The captain and guide were so very informative and engaging. It was a highlight of our visit to Porto.
