★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 4,168 reviews · 1 day · from $17Best value

Spend 50 minutes on a traditional-style Douro cruise between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. You will follow the old Rabelo boat route, pass beneath six bridges, and look toward Foz do Douro. Choose a departure point in Porto or Gaia. Commentary may vary by boat, so treat this as a scenic cruise first and a guided tour second.

“Great little cruise down the river. Took around 45 minutes in total. We out outside on the boat but there was some seats inside if you wanted. There is a recorded guide as you go under each bridge it tells you a little bit about each one and about the scenery left and right of the river. Had an excellent time, can’t complain, cheap and cheerful!”

I booked the 50 person large group tour and it ended up being 8 of us- so it was quite lovely and very enjoyable. The car ride is a bit curvy, so if you have motion sickness, sit by the window and maybe bring medicine to help just in case.”
