boat ride relaxing but not much to see

the ride did not show much of Porto..it was relaxing for 50 minutes so you don't have to walk the hills of Porto. I'm not even sure we actually saw six Bridges.

Tour of the 6 bridges.

An overall enjoyable experience. The boat gave us a different view of Porto that was worth it. I would have enjoyed a bit more information in the audio that was a general explanation of the bridges and not enough about the surrounding landscape. Some times it seemed the audio didn’t match what we were seeing. I enjoyed the trip I. General because it gave us an idea of the importance and significance of this river to the lifeblood of Porto.
