It was a very relaxing ride. If you’re looking for a break from the crowds, this was perfect as we did it in the morning. And I do appreciate the recorded guide over the speaker, but the timing was slightly off but not really a problem. Overall, it was a nice “different” option to do in Porto, but nothing that is a must.

It was a relaxing cruise with nice photo opportunities. But it wasn't anything super exciting. There was a prerecorded tape that played information in several languages. We were lucky that there weren't too many people on our cruise, so we were able to get a spot on the top deck.

Gray Line blue buses are a good way to get around Poto and Gaia and see that area at a reasonable cost. Our host at the sales desk was very informative and added an extra half day of ride time to our two day to day purchase. at the end of our two days, however, the bus driver told us we must get off at stop 3 at about 6:30 to 7 PM, and could not continue to our destination nearest stop 2 because the route was terminating for the day. That was very inconvenient since we ended up standing in the dark and cold trying to find a taxicab rather than just walking from stop 2 to our hotel.
