Douro Valley 3 Wine Experiences with Fabulous Lunch and Optional Boat Cruise

Júlio was an incredible tour guide. He was informative and experienced, ensuring our day was just as we'd hoped. The tastings were a lot of fun, and the scenery was unforgettable. A highlight of our trip to Portugal!

Bruno was a great tour guide very enteraining and the olive and wine stop plus river cruise and lunch were great but the standout was the port wine talk. I would change the last stop or leave out entirely. It wasn't good.

The whole thing, except for the lunch. Guide Julio was fabulous, scenery amazing, wine tasting fun, River cruise peaceful and beautiful

The absolute best Duoro trip with an absolutely amazing guide! Julio was so knowledgeable and friendly and spoke excellent English and French! The tour was small (less than 8 people) so we felt we had personalized attention. The places we went we were treated like VIP and had so many glasses of wine and port and great food the whole time. The boat cruise was gorgeous. Highly recommend!!!

Great experience. We had a wonderful time. Bruno was super knowledgeable and really helpful. Would 100% recommend.

This tour was wonderful from Hotel pick up to drop off. Andre was so kind, and very knowledgeable. He kept us engaged the entire ride, and speaks wonderful English. We took the river ride also and highly recommend it. Lunch was excellent and with great views. Wine tasting also had amazing views. It was an interesting and relaxing and beautiful day!

This was a fantastic tour and would highly recommend to anyone going to Porto who wants to see the Douro valley, and also wants to get a lot done in 1 day. Andre was our tour guide for the day and he was very knowledgeable, happy to answer all our questions, and good fun to be with. We didn't want to pay the price of a private tour but didn't want to go on a big group tour, so this was perfect with a maximum of 8 people. Our group was a mix of couples and solo travellers. Andre picked us up from our hotel on time in a comfortable minivan. The whole trip was very well run, the timings were slick and there was no waiting around. In the morning you do the longest journey out to the Douro valley with a quick stop for a coffee and a walk across the river to stretch your legs, then the rest of the day is made up of shorter drives in the direction of Porto with lots of stops. All of the stops were really interesting, the staff at the vineyards are very passionate about their products, the scenery is stunning, we drank A LOT of wine and port, the boat trip is really beautiful, the lunch (salad and soup starter, choice of veg/meat/fish for main, chocolate cake for dessert, with wine and port) is good with great views - I could go on. Tips: -the wine servings are generous at all stops, be careful not to over do it at the first vineyard as it's a long day!! You can also buy a bottle of wine at the first vineyard to take on the boat trip with you if you want to (~10euros) but in our opinion it's not needed. - if you get travel sick, take some tablets as the roads are quite windy - the railway station in Pinhao wasn't on the itinerary but I asked a question about it and Andre stopped to show us around quickly - so the tip is to ask if you want to see anything not on the itinerary as it may be able to be included - be prepared for a LONG day. We were picked up at 8:15am and dropped off at 7:15pm (we were delayed by ~40mins on the return journey due to traffic). We were all asleep in the van after the last stop, it's quite an intense day. - ask Andre for restaurant recommendations - he is happy to give them and he was not wrong!

Wonderful day, Andre was like a walking history book, his knowledge of Porto was unbelievable. Nothing negative to say at all about the trip, traveled with a great bunch of people. Lunch was delicious as well as the wine and the port. Would highly recommend Andre and this trip to the Douro Valley.

Everyone should experience this amazing tour, from start to finish it was fantastic. Tiago our tour guide, was truly fabulous such a lovely thoughtful gentleman, nothing was too much trouble. We went to through beautiful small village and lovely scenery before arriving at our first wine tasting the views and people were out of this world. River cruise was very relaxing then we arrived at a wonderful house for a lovely lunch with more wine and Port tasting which was superb, again beautiful surroundings. Last visit was to a little bar where locals meet for drinks and nibbles we throughly enjoyed this experience. Thank you so much to Tiago for sharing this experience with us we had the best time ever.

Full day tour from Porto on our first day in Portugal. The weather was cool and rainy but the tour was wonderful. Bruno was engaging and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the olive oil museum with olive oil and wine tastings. The view was amazing. The port tasting was entertaining. The final stop in Amarante with Vinho verde and local meats and cheeses was a great finish.
