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…”
