“Really enjoyed the 6 bridges river trip in Porto as did my 14 year old grandson, you obviously go under the 5 bridges up the river and then come back down through Porto to go under the bridge near the mouth of the river. The views of Porto from boat are stunning and the seats on boat offer a great view. Can I also mention that I booked for the 11am trip but due to circumstances we needed to get the 10am trip and there was no problem changing out time with the boat operators, I didn’t catch her name but the lady in a pink shirt was really professional…”
