“Daniel did a great job as our host on a nice water craft where we enjoyed the most beautiful views of Porto and learned so much. We were spoiled with delicious “green” local wine and a charcuterie with natural local cheese and meat selections. I can’t imagine a better way to experience this port city- and we were fortunate to have a guide that felt like a friend sharing stories and history.”

“Our luxury yacht cruise was excellent! Our skipper did an excellent job steering the boat while his wife served us some snacks and a white sangria, while narrating what we were seeing in our luxury yacht cruise. I was very happy that there were only four (4) other passengers besides the three (3) of us, making for a small, intimate cruising party. We saw all six (6) bridges, as promised, and learned all about them. Thank you!”
