The dams/lochs we went through were awesome. They were so tall and as we rose up we could feel the boat lifting. It was great to look back on these monumental structures. However, I thought there was so much food waste. Each of the lunch dishes alone could have fed a minimum of two people.

The c cruise itself was wonderful. Staff excellent. Only issue was the meeting point for the return bus trip. We did not hear any announcement when the boat docked.

It was a beautiful day to be out cruising down the Douro River. The scenery was beautiful, all the activity on the river was great! The meals served were very good. Travelleing through 2 locks on the river was something we had not yet experienced. Lots of information was provided throughout the cruise. I would recommend this cruise as it was inexpensive yet good value.

Beautiful tour of the river. Fantastic staff. Elegant dining of breakfast and super 3 course lunch with wine, water, and orange juice. Very well organised river tour. This was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. 5 stars all the way.

A lovely boat trip through two locks. Breakfast was a bit on the light side, but lunch was excellent; unfortunately, there was no guide. Communication was also minimal.
