We booked this experience the night before, only knowing we wanted to do one under 4 hours and earlier in the day while also having a more luxurious but intimate experience. This checked every box we were hoping for! Very comfortable accommodations, lovely drinks and snacks, extremely friendly and knowledgeable crew, and only six guests. We loved doing this tour in the morning so we couple learn all about Porto and get some great ideas and recommendations for food and things to do. I highly recommend this tour!!”
