"A very fun speedboat tour. Managed professionally yet informally and amusingly. A fantastic team that took very good care of us. Just the right amount of exciting turns and twists and bumps. It was great to see all the sights and bridges on the Douro River, and we also got to go out to the sea. A great way to see Porto."
