Good tour for the price
darlenemX2754NT, October 2026
We enjoyed the one hour cruise on the Duoro. Our guide and captain were knowlegable and friendly. It was nice to be on a small boat with only 7 other tourists.

Beautiful scenery & excellent guides

Beautiful scenery with vineyard terraces. The boat ride lasted about 50 minutes to 1 hour and it was smooth & relaxing. There were about 11-12 of us on the boat and it didn’t feel crowded at all.
Thank you to our wonderful guides, Ivo & Ze! They were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the vineyards and the area.
I’d highly recommend!
