Most amazing tour I’ve done in Portugal !

Seriously cannot recommend this tour more! Such an incredible day to explore the Portuguese country side, and of course try some awesome wine! Franco was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, he took care of us and made us laugh the whole time. Our driver Miranda was also very funny and kind; he made sure we were driven safe and had amazing views the whole time!

Porto to Pinhoa, full day River cruise

This was a wonderful way to see the full Duoro River from Porto to Pinhoa. Such a peaceful warm day watching nature go by. The crew took great care of us with a light breakfast and a hearty, delicious roast pork dinner. In Pinhoa we visited the winery Quinta do Roeda, for a short tour, port wine tasting and a luncheon/snacks. Very well done and organized day and excellent value. It is a very long day, 13 hours from Port to bus drop off at the town square in Porto.

Grand day out.

Really enjoyable trip up to Pinhao with great food and drink on board and friendly, helpful staff. A variety of stunning views and interesting facts along the cruise. The port wine tasting was good but a little rushed due to the restricted time - you still arrive back in Porto at around 21:30. All in all, a great day out and very good value.

A great day on the Douro

Nice ship, nice crew. The winery was very interesting. Delicious food on board. It was very busy at the locks, therefore no shore leave in Regua and a delayed return to Porto
