Traveler reviews
Breathtakingly Beautiful with Amazing Wines
Amazing tour of Douro Valley was the highlight of my trip to Portugal. Bernardo was an excellent guide sharing stories of his family, history and Portugese culture. The wineries we visited were small, family run, and filled with love and care for the wine they produce. Highly recommend!
Best day in the Douro!
Cannot imagine a better experience than this lovely day in the Douro! Our guide, Sara, was extremely knowledgeable, funny, engaging and professional- she made the tour an A plus. The wineries we visited were interesting and well presented; the lunch, in a typical local restaurant, was great fun- delicious and authentic. The river tour, on what must have been the nicest October day ever, was beautiful, serene, comfortable and memorable. Cannot recommend this tour enough. Thank you, Sara!
Amazing Douro Valley
Great Douro wine tour with Jose. Informative and enjoyable!
Outstanding experience in the Douro Region
This tour was one of the best experiences traveling we have ever had. Our guide, Nuno, was terrific! He was courteous, kind, knowledgeable and friendly. He had not only a wealth of knowledge but also an entertaining delivery if it. Our group also appreciated his help with entering and exiting the van ( wife was using a cane) and other tricky walking situations. On the excursion, the wine tastings and extra stop were very enjoyable as well. The only criticism we had was the boat ride- could have used some tour commentary and/ or accompanying beverage with it. Nuno did not join us for that part unfortunately. Overall it was a great experience and we would highly recommend it.
Amazing wine trip.
This is a fantastic trip where you can enjoy wine, take in the views and relax on a boat trip on the Douro. Felipe, our driver and guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. We were joined by a group of 5 ladies and we had the best day. Wine tasting at a small wine estate, lunch at a local restaurant which was very good, a 50 minute boat trip and then a Port wine tasting at another local estate before heading back to Porto. The Douro valley is stunning and this trip is a great way to experience its scenery and wine.
