    Everything was great and well organized. We want to thank Carla and Ricardo of the staff very much for this unforgettable experience. When we are in the area again we will definitely come back for a boat trip on the Douro.

    My experience on the private boat trip along the Douro River was nothing short of exceptional. The stunning scenery, combined with the comfort of our private boat, made for a truly unforgettable day. The crew was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the journey. Cruising through the picturesque landscapes, with charming villages dotting the riverbanks, felt like a dream. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful escape or a unique way to explore the Douro, this boat trip is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

    This Italian boat and Portuguese crew were fabulous. Everything was top notch and both our captain and attendant were super friendly and service oriented. The Invictus is by far the nicest and sexiest boat we could find on the Douro river and I would rent it again in a heart beat. We toured up to the first dam and back and I feel that was all we needed. Definitely glad we spent a little more money to see the river valley this way.
