Leçaodouro
Leçaodouro is a boat tour company operating on the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia. The tours pass historic bridges and buildings, allowing passengers to view the city from the water while guides share local stories and knowledge.
The Douro served as a crucial trade route for centuries, connecting Porto and surrounding regions. Many bridges spanning the river date back over a century, reflecting the city's industrial development and growth through different periods.
The name Leçaodouro evokes the historical importance of the Douro as a vital trade route for the region. Visitors experience the intimate connection between the river and the city, observing how the waterway continues to shape daily life and local traditions.
The boats depart from Douro Marina in Vila Nova de Gaia, which is easily accessible with nearby parking available. Advance booking is recommended, especially during peak seasons, as spaces fill up quickly.
Passengers occasionally spot dolphins during the journey, adding a memorable moment to the experience. The personalized service from local guides like Pedro and Silvia tailors each tour to guests and creates special connections.
