Porto to Douro Valley by coach with 1-hour river cruise, two Port tastings, olive oil sampling, and a Douro lunch.

“Our day tour was fantastic! Our guide, “Jesus,” was incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide. The cancelled boat tour due to the weather was perfectly compensated with extra wine. Overall, it was a wonderful way to conclude our trip in Porto.”

Full-day Douro Valley tour from Porto with two wine estates, lunch, tastings, and a 50-minute Rabelo river cruise.

The tastings were delicious and the lunch was even better. Miguel was our tour guide and really took his time to explain the history of the wine making and interesting bits of information on the different towns we visited. His energy and humor is perfection! Thank you Miguel for the special day!!!”

Porto: Six Bridges Cruise

9.Six Bridges Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 11,680 reviews · 50 min · from $21

Take a 50-minute rabelo boat ride to see Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia’s 6 bridges, with multilingual audio and great river views.

“The boat ride was lovely! I'm so glad we did this so we could see a lot of the city that we would have missed out on if we had stuck with just the walking we were doing. The only "issue" was that I originally booked a 11:30 boat, but when I arrived they said they're no longer doing tours on the half-hour, just the hour. They were able to rebook me easily but I wish that had been communicated before I arrived at the dock - it would have changed how I structured my morning and I might have been able to get on the 11am tour instead of…”

A 3-hour Lisbon walking tour through Bairro Alto, viewpoints, churches, Baixa, and Alfama, plus an iconic tram ride, coffee, and cake.

“This is an absolute must do if you are in Lisbon. Beatrice was the most fantastic, fun, informative, knowledgeable guide and we were very lucky to have her. Her extensive knowledge and clear passion for her home country shone through and made this a very interesting tour. It’s accessible for people who aren’t really fit - lots of stopping, plenty of photo opportunities, a chance to see Lisbon from a local’s viewpoint and knowledge, a tram ride, pastry and a coffee. It’s a definite must do.”

Lisbon: Sunset Boat Party Cruise with DJ and Open Bar

13.Sunset Boat Party Cruise with DJ and Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10,378 reviews · 2 hours - 150 minutes · from $27

A Lisbon sunset boat party on the Tagus with DJ music and an open bar, passing key landmarks while you dance and meet people.

“SO MUCH FUN I wish I could do this every day of my life. It did take a while to get us all on the boat though and they ended up pushing back our departure 30 minutes so we still got a full 2 hours on the boat however I would definitely keep that in mind in case you are making a dinner reservation hour or something. Also our boat ended up departing at 6:30 and it was the perfect timing for the sunset in early October.”
