“We had our team outing on a traditional Rabelo boat last month, and everything was organised flawlessly from start to finish. Fred made the whole planning process incredibly easy and was always quick to answer our questions.
The cruise itself exceeded all our expectations. The views along the Douro were absolutely spectacular, and seeing Porto's beautiful bridges and historic old town from the river gave us a completely different perspective of the city. The boat was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone in our group had a fantastic time.”
