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 :)
