    The Douro River trip we took through Terranova on the A-Rosa Alva was amazing on all accounts. The ship was beyond expectations--from the rooms to the food, it was first class. The staff was excellent, the level of service was on par with a 5 star hotel. The food was top notch. Each meal was a delicious adventure, a wide variety for all tastes. The bike trek was great. Our guides were friendly and fun to be with. They went out of their way to make every one feel comfortable and have a good time. I can't say enough goods things about this trip, do not hesitate to book it!!

    We did a very relaxing and stunning bike tour along the Douro River in Portugal, including overnight stays on a boat. The scenery was breathtaking, the bike paths were top notch and the food on board was very tasty. Thank you for putting this trip together so well!

    Douro River bike tour in Portugal by bike and boat was an unforgettable experience. We explored the countryside by bike and visited many historical places and vineyards. The accommodations on the boat were very comfortable and the food was really delicious. The guides were also super knowledgeable and told us a lot about the region and its culture. If you want to experience Portugal from a different perspective, this trip is for you.
