Verified Google profileFiz o passeio „Experiências no Douro“, foi muito prazeroso, lindo e muito bem organizado. A mistura do trajeto com trem, carro, barco e visita à Quinta foi o diferencial para mim. Cronograma bem distribuído, funcionários atenciosos. A visita à quinta foi ótima com degustação de vinhos, delicioso almoço, sem pressa. Indico o passeio.
Foi uma experiência muito agradável em família, paisagens inesquecíveis ao longo do percurso. Os colaboradores extremamente simpáticos e as refeições muito boas. Adoramos tudo!!!
Do rio temos umas vistas soberbas das cidades do Porto e V.N.Gaia. Como embarcamos as 19h e desembarcamos as 23:30, tivemos oportunidade de usufruir das vistas diurnas e noturnas. O jantar também estava ótimo e desafio a quem ainda não usufruiu desta experiência que o faça, porque vale bem a pena. ❤️
Um passeio incrível! E e minha família tivemos uma excelente experiência num ambiente fantástico, equipe atenciosa e prestativa, comida nota 10. Super recomendo!!!
No dia seguinte à participação da Meia Maratona do Douro, fizemos a subida do Douro de Régua até Pinhão, regressando a Régua em comboio regular... Passeio muito agradável... Correu tudo perfeitamente...
Very good experience with Eco-Travel ; they were very kind, flexible and helpful in the reservation process. Despite a last minute change, they were able to find a perfect solution for our Cruise and evening event. Perfect service that I warmly recommend.
I was on the Wednesday cruise from Porto to Pinhao and want to say how much I enjoyed the total experience. I'd like to applaud the care taken by the staff and say a special thank you to our wonderful hostess throughout the cruise and onto the wine tasting at the quinta and return by bus to Porto.
I had booked our trip in advance and had received excellent communication from Cruzeiros Douro. We were really lucky with our boat trip as the sun shone and the sky was blue making the scenery absolutely stunning. We did the hour trip and all too soon it was over, we wished we had gone for the longer one. I can thoroughly recommend Cruzeiros Douro.
