    Great service! We were able to book the entire boat for our group of 8 for our trip from Ferragudo to Silves and back. We were expected and welcomed. We... read more were not rushed for getting in the boat, which was done with care. The guided tour was very interesting. Reiner was happy to answer our questions. It was amazing being on the river and seeing the sites up close. The free time in Silves was nice to stretch our legs. Because we'd been there before it was enough time to walk a bit, and sit at a cafe for a bit. The added drink of port in the boat was a very nice touch. We'll do this trip again!!
