Escape the crowded tourist boats and discover the Douro River in a completely different way — on a private, relaxed and personal experience hosted by a local couple.
New Boat (2024).
This is a moment to slow down, enjoy a glass of wine, and experience Porto from the water like a local, with stories, conversation you won’t find on larger cruises.
Whether you're celebrating something special or simply want a more authentic and intimate experience, this tour is designed to feel exclusive, comfortable and memorable.
Hosted personally by a local couple (not a large crew)
Private boat just for your group
Enjoy Port wine and snacks onboard
Calm, scenic route away from crowded boats
Friendly, informal storytelling about the city and river
It feels more like being invited onto a friend’s boat than joining a tour.
