“This experience was hands down our favorite part of our trip to Portugal. Watching other boats nearby full of people while we relaxed on bean bags on a private boat surrounded by incredible views was every bit worth the money! Barbara was an INCREDIBLE guide. She was so accommodating, so knowledgeable about the area, and an infectious personality. We learned a lot from her, but she also gave us lots of time to ourselves to just be quiet and enjoy the views. She even took some wonderful pictures of us that we will cherish forever. If you’re considering it, BOOK IT!”

“Aside from the spectacular views, the tour offered 2 small glasses of wine and some history of the area. The hosts were engaging and willing to answer all questions. The group I was in would have preferred more stories on the sites we were seeing as we chugged down the river. Because it was raining, we were unable to get a clear view from the front of the boat as the plastic protectors had to stay on. However, the views from either side of the boat gave us the pictures we wanted. I would say that it is a must but would be much better in the sunshine (but hosts…”
