He will welcome you with a tasting of 3 Port wines (one of each style), which is the perfect note to start this river cruise in Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, being a small unpretentious boat, it has two advantages that some of the best river cruises in Porto do NOT have: it welcomes both solo travellers (hiey!)
