Perfect for those looking to dive deeper into the city's charm, this tour provides ample time to explore key sites while enjoying rich storytelling and scenic views.

Your journey begins with a warm welcome from your expert guide, who will introduce you to the city’s intriguing history and architectural gems. As you walk along the city’s majestic bridges, you’ll hear the stories behind their construction and the vital roles they’ve played in shaping the city. I’ll make sure to guide you through the most beautiful sights to be seen here.

Along the way, you'll stop at historical treasures—ancient fortifications, charming old streets, and lively squares—giving you a true taste of the city’s character. With plenty of time to explore and ask questions, this leisurely yet informative stroll ensures you experience the heart of the city in all its glory.

We keep the group sizes small to offer a more intimate experience and ensure you can interact with your guide, making the tour feel uniquely yours. It’s a perfect balance of relaxation, discovery, and history, giving you a genuine feel for the city. We will also sail through two impressive dams, and if the weather allows, we’ll stop for swimming, adding a refreshing twist to the tour.

Everything was perfect, Manuel and his sons were very helpful and friendly. The boat was even better than we expected and perfectly functional, even for a group of 10 people. The trip along the Douro was magnificent, and the service on board was excellent. Thank you to them for this trip, which I would gladly do again!

We had a really great time on board with the thirteen of us and the boat looked really good. We could even move our boat trip a day forward, because of the weather, very flexible! They were both really great hosts and took good care of us! The sights along the river were beautiful and so was the swimming place. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this :)
