It’s a great way to learn...

It’s a great way to learn about the bridges and their history. There are some very interesting facts about them. The views of the city are wonderful from the water. Get off the boat on the opposite side from which you board and walk across the river on the bridge.

Couldn’t hear narration

The views were beautiful but the boat was overcrowded and we couldn’t hear the speaker at all with all the talking.

Porto 6 bridges river cruise

The boat tour was nice to see the river and bridges. Was very confusing to convert voucher to a ticket. In the end, after some messages back and forth and going to the redemption point, we did not need To get a ticket. Also, hard to hear the narration on the outside deck.

Awesome experience

Very fun, scenic and quiet ride with occasional automated information via French, English, Spanish and Portuguese. My only gripe is they honk occasionally and it's loud as fudge LOL.
