Exclusive private cruise in Porto with Porto wine

About this activity

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.

If you're looking for a more authentic and memorable way to experience the Douro, this is the tour for you.

Many guests say this was the highlight of their trip to Porto.
