Private cruise on the Douro River

Private cruise on the Douro River

4.9 (792) 🕑 2 hours Free cancellation

See the Douro River intimately aboard a boat just for your small group of up to four people. Providing an air of tranquil glamour, the boat offers a special alternative to a standard river cruise with a professional skipper and a carefully planned route around Porto's historic bridges and Gaia's caves. A welcome drink and fragrant almond snacks are among the perks.
