(plz forgive me that I couldn't get your name) Duration of the show was 1 HOUR, guitarists and the singer showed their passions. KUDOS to RICARDO, DIOGO and CARLA. They are amazing !!!!

Porto in 3 hours, by **Magic Train** and boat. Visit Real Companhia Velha, watch a film, taste 2 ports, then cruise the Douro.
“The train ride itself was pretty disappointing. Didn't see a lot, and there is NO live guide - just scratchy audio that is hard to hear about the noise of the city and the train. However, the port cellar tour was very interesting (and delicious!), and the boat ride was beautiful - it's a bit of a trek from where you are dropped off on the train, and they could do a better job with marking the boat so you know which one to take, but either way, the tickets were worth it for those two things alone.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
