Excellent tour and well organized. It was just what we wanted to do. I didn't want to drive or stay overnight. This was perfect and we met interesting people on the boat.
Good tour to enjoy the river.It was hard to understand the tour guide and all guides speak more than one language, so they will repeat the same thing 3 times which is not good for us because there are a lot to see and we missed a lot of things because they say it 3 times and not enough time to explain everything you see.Most of tours in Portugal like that.
Relaxing tour with train and lunch on boat. Three course lunch with ample of wine. Food was very good. Relaxing six hour cruise on the Douro back to Porto. Two very interesting locks to pass!
We made the reservations through Viator. A company called Barcadouro called the day before to confirm where and what time we should meet. The tour begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Sao Bento Train Station. The train ride to Ragua was scenic and interesting. We were given an hour to walk around, get something to eat, and then we boarded the boat ride back to Porto which was a leisurely 6 hour cruise downstream. The ride on the barge included a nice, leisurely lunch with a bottle of wine per couple. You can ask for beer if not a wine drinker. The photo ops and vistas off the barge were the best.
An excellent trip and well organized, a lovely cruise down the river. The only thing I would change is lunch served maybe an hour later. Lunch was served straightway as we passed the vineyards so missed not being on deck able to take in the views.
Really enjoyed the train and boat trip into the Douro Valley. We did not have the best of weather but nevertheless it was a great opportunity to enjoy a very good lunch while on a lovely river, passing by beautiful vertical vineyards and small towns. Pay close attention to the tour guide when boarding the train at Porto, Sao Bento station. Otherwise, it was easy to navigate through the event. Service on the boat was great. A good family activity. I would like to go again on a sunny day.
