What is included

Options and departures

The shared and private tuk tuk options each offer four guide languages. Both include the same shared boat trip.

Means: Take the English shared option at 10:00 if you want both rides that day; allow time to reach Cais de Gaia.

Meeting point and pickup

Tuk tuk meeting

Go to the Living Tours agency at Rua do Corpo da Guarda 20 in Porto. Arrive 5 minutes before departure; hotel transfers are excluded.

Cruise boarding

Collect your boat ticket from the guide at the end of the tuk tuk ride. Board Rota do Douro at Cais de Gaia; the ticket is valid only with this operator.

Your vehicle

Each tuk tuk holds up to 6 passengers. Your party may use separate vehicles if you book the shared option.

Late tuk tuks

A tuk tuk departure after 16:00 may mean taking the cruise another day. The boat ticket remains valid for 30 days.

Who it is for

Book this if you want 50 minutes of city sightseeing and can board the cruise separately in Gaia. The cruise can wait for another day. For port tasting on board, choose another tour.

For three wines on board, choose Douro Sailing from €43 per person; the starting price covers the shared daytime cruise. If one glass of port is enough, BBDouro costs from €39 per person; the crew selects your boat. With Boating Porto, a private cruise costs from €35 per person in a group of 8; that rate needs eight adults.

Means: Choose the English shared departure at 10:00 for a morning city ride with time to reach the cruise quay afterwards.

Not for

• Travellers seeking a port tasting on board
• Anyone needing hotel pickup or monument entry
• Pregnant travellers
• Travellers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health

In harvest: October cruise departures end at 16:00; choose a morning tuk tuk if you want to sail that day.
