    Overall good experience but were not prepared for the guided tour via the app. Figured it out about 15 minutes into the trip that it was available.

    Nice day. Only passed under 5 bridges when it's called a 6 bridge cruise. Seeing one in the distance is not the same.

    Great way to see Oporto - on the water and boat ride is plenty long enough at 50 minutes - well worth it
