    Full description
    Navigate a unique river, in the heart of the oldest demarcated wine region of the world which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll start this adventure from Pinhao, pass under the Eiffel iron bridge going upstream to the Tua area where you will turn around to make the return journey. Along the way, see hills of terraced vineyards with no national roads or traffic in sight. Although you will do the same stretch up and down, it will appear different, as it is seen from two different points of view, and also because there is so much to see in this stunning region of the world. The traditional Rabelo boats have open and closed areas, so navigation can be comfortably be made in all kinds of weather, all year long.

      A peaceful cruise on the Douro River with helpful crew to make sure all who want to are able to hear the audio guide, make sure all who want get photos of themselves on the river, and even a chance to buy a glass of port wine to sip while traveling the Douro. Excellent way to spend two hours.

      Amazing trip to Pinhao along the river by car, then taking the two hour rabelo boat tour the following morning to see the quintadas and the acres of vineyards from another perspective. The boat was clean and on time, the gentleman who helped settle us in, helped us get the app downloaded and ready to listen the audio guided tour and sold us the lovely glass of tawny Porto was lovely and really helpful, we did not catch his name but wanted to give him a mention as he was so courteous and helpful.Highly recommend this tour

      The boat tour was very relaxing and without annoying noise from any guides. If you wanted, you could download an app with GPS-precise explanations of the sights. Beautiful river landscape with many nice quintas to Tua. It's a pity that you couldn't listen to the explanations of the tour again on the app afterwards...
