If Porto were a story, the Douro River would be its plot twist, and the Six Bridges Cruise Porto is the best way to read it. In just 50 minutes, this Douro River cruise sails you past six very different bridges, each with its own drama, design, and decades-old secrets. It’s Porto’s skyline in motion, best enjoyed with wind in your hair and camera in hand.
The cruise lasts around 50 minutes, taking you past all six of Porto’s iconic bridges with stunning city and river views.
You can board at Cais da Ribeira in Porto’s historic centre or Cais de Gaia in Vila Nova de Gaia, both routes are identical.
You’ll sail under Ponte Dom Luís I, Infante, Maria Pia, São João, Freixo, and Arrábida, with perfect views of Porto’s colourful riverside and vineyard cellars.
No, the cruise is not guided.
Yes! The Six Bridges tour in Porto offers open timings so you can pick a departure slot that suits your day’s plans.
Absolutely. The smooth ride, short duration, and great views make it enjoyable for all ages.
While you can sometimes get same-day tickets, advance booking is recommended, especially in summer and on weekends, to avoid long queues.
Sunset cruises are magical for golden light and photos, while morning cruises tend to be less crowded.
Although it was a bit tricky to find the right pier, the trip was lovely – great views and a concise guide. Thank you!”
The cruise was nice and worth the money. However we found it a bit overcrowded not everyone could sit outside and people were tightly seated together.
The boat tour was beautiful and easy to find! I loved seeing Porto from the water with the history explained of the bridges.
It was a very relaxing way to see Porto from the water. A good commentary accompanied the trip. Well worth spending the hour doing this trip!
The boat ride was lovely. Too bad they would not accept our smartphone tickets. We had to wait in line to get new paper tickets and missed the boat. Had to wait an hour in the sun before the next sailing.
Nice trip. Brilliant view. Reasonable price. Recommend. Please do check this. You will have a good time on the Douro River.
The cruise was 10 minutes shorter! So 40 instead of 50 minutes....
It was incredible, very enjoyable, I recommend 🥰adore
Booking was more complicated than it should have been.
Was good...pleasant way to spend an hour
Efficient process to pay and get the tickets. Highly recommend!
The trip was ok but it was kind of short and nothing really special but at the same time it was the same for everyone.
It wad amazing, I really recommend visiting this place!
Nice trip with good information. Better if it was going deeper into douro.
Lovely views, beautiful city, river cruise great, recommend
Convenient ticketing process and a relaxing ride on the river.

A great experience at the Estádio do Dragão, even without a match day! The tour of the stadium was exciting and informative, with impressive insights behind the scenes. From the sidelines to the dressing rooms - everything was perfectly organized. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended for any soccer fan. Força Porto!
The museum was really well displayed and interesting. The tour of the stadium could be improved having someone to explain better all the different areas. Generally speking was really worth seeing.
It was a very nice experience, the museum is really cool. But we went also to a tour in Lisbon to Estadio da Luz and there we got a free scarf, a magnet and 10% off in the store. Here you get nothing.
The visit of the stadium it was fantastic. My son was happy to see and seat inside this famous place and after toi see the museum. Hé czme to see all the wonderful "trophées".
Both the stadium and the museum tours were great!
Nice to see the stadium and to get on the pitch
Although it was a bit tricky to find the right pier, the trip was lovely – great views and a concise guide. Thank you!”
The museum was great to visit. Well done
Museum was really interesting. Hope to return for a game. Great club.
After the stadium buzz, unwind with Porto’s most scenic cruise on the Douro.

The wineries were not that good as I expected. And it was more travel than anything real.
Places we visited were great with friendly staff. Views while in the bus are amazing and Living Tours staff are very friendly
End of the trip was the best thing (restaurant & winery), rest of it was on the road and first wine tasting was too little. Also the small town is nice at the beginning but needs to be a bit of more time than 40 minutes. Tour guide Mariana was amazing.
We highly recommend you do the wine tour to the Douro Valley... it was well organized, very informative and educational. We enjoyed the lunch served and wine tasting experience. Our guide Sergio was the best! He took care of everyone and made sure we were all comfortable. Thank you, Sergio
The timings of the tour was changed to 7:30 from 8:10, but I didn't receive the information. And it's been 4 days now and I still haven't received the refund. Extremely frustrating experience.
Nothing. Because , due to your invalid system my expected and booked trip, 10-10-24 was still set at the 8th. One of your people or livimgtours armitted to me: yes, this is failure because of your systems. Nevertheless: 0 refunds! Very disappointed! This is not to treat customers. It feels like stealing money. 0 points.
Great experience, the scenery is stunning, the Quinta where we had the first tasting and lunch is a very pleasant place (lunch was simple and decent, not exceptional), the second one has an incredible setting and the river cruise is a must. The van is modern and comfortable. The group size is quite large (around 25), a more intimate experience would have been better suited to our personal preferences and our guide Antonio was nice and professional albeit a little impersonal. Overall not far from a 5/5 and I would recommend this experience.
Muy buena elección , un tour con muchas actividades incluida
Duoro geographically is an interesting place. The Moscotel vineyard gave fascinating insights into that type of wine production. Generous lunch with wine lovely place Second vineyard again interesting but suffered from too many groups and echoing cellars so not able to hear all the information. Boat trip pleasant end to visit
THE EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT. WE BOOOKED A GUIDED TOUR IN THE DOURO VALLEY: 2 VINYARDS + DOURO CRUISE WERE INCLUDED. EVERYONE WAS REALLY WELCOMING AND WILLING TO EXPLAIN. A BIG THANK TO MARGARIDA OF LIVING TOUR, SHE WAS REALLY LOVELY
Nice experience, well managed and executed. Courteous and knowledgeable staff. Comfortable bus, good food and tastings. Would have liked to taste Douro wines, not just Ports.
The first port wine-tasting, and the incredible scenery

Our TukTuk driver, Alex, was excellent. His English was great, and he was very knowledgeable able the tour he took us on. He made our experience very worthwhile. The boat was also good.
The guide tour was very nice and waited for us, although we arrived late at the pick up point because of the rain. After this initiatic trip, it was very easy for us to find and visit every landmark of the city.
The tour was good. But we now realise that Headout load the prices significantly from those available locally!
Our guide was super and showed us loads of very interesting and beautiful sights and was really engaging
Bruno at living tours was awesome! We had a great time! Thank you!

Boarding is orgnized very good. Morning food and lunch is good. Taste of the cup of vinho do porto is very special and good. It would be better If journey can be 10 hours.
My 3 friends and I signed up for the 8 hr tour of the Douro River which included a visit to a vineyard. Firstly, it turned out to be a 12 hour day which was NOT made clear when booking. They fed us a roll / crossiant with juice, coffee tea for breakfast almost immeditely upon arrival which was ok. Since they were well aware the day would be longer, they should have waited until later to serve the lunch. Lunch was ok if you are not a vegetarian. The veggies included were soggy boiled potatoes and mushy stringbeans and carrots. we were told we would be a the vineyard for an hour which was incorrect as well. I believe we arrived later than the vineyard employees expected and sort of felt rushed out of there as they wanted to close for the day. Hopefully these comments (as i heard the similar comments from others on the boat) will help you fix some of these complaints.
Service on the boat, scenery
La croisière est bien, mais trop longue. Le repas était très bon, mais les quantités trop grande, donc beaucoup de gaspillage. Nous avons été à peine 20 minutes dans le vignoble et il fallait quitter. C'est d'ailleurs le peu de temps dans le vignoble qui nous a le plus déçu.
Transportation to winery snd back was poor
It was more than I expected. If you are nature lover and want to enjoy the best scenes go for it.
good breakfast good meal friendly crew
No communication about the name of the vessel was provided in advance. It was a different vessel than depicted. Boarding took 1 hour 15 minutes. 2 pieces of bakery for breakfast is not enough, in my opinion. Lunch exceeded the expectations, but the vessel suddenly stopped at the intermediate point and the tour was discontinued at 17.00 hrs. There was no wine tasting - one of the main items of the agenda. The crew of the ship and waiters were confident, professional and pleasant, but the girls / guides failed to fulfill their duties, provide complete information and properly communicate the reasons of the changes in the agenda. I have requested the full refund.
