Two Hour Rabelo Boat Cruise Douro?
 
It's been three years since I asked this question. If anyone could tell me who runs the best two-hour boat trip on the Douro, it would be appreciated. We will be staying at Quinta do Pego. I saw Maribel's list from 2019 and just wondered if Magnifico Douro and Companhia Turística do Douro are still the best choices for a rabelo boat ride. Thanks in advance. Oh, and I hope they fixed the traffic light at Quinta do Pego in the last three years. (:

Has anyone does one of these recently, or is this something to pass? Thanks.

We did one this past May, while we also stayed at the same Quinta. We did a 2 hour one, sorry don’t remember which company. Just went to the dock and took the next one leaving. In my opinion, I think one hour would be enough. It got a bit repetitive after a while. If you were short on time, you could give it a miss. The view is just as good from the Quinta.
