Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We rijden u door de Vinho Verde-regio en genieten van een panoramisch uitzicht op de wijngaarden.
Als eerste stop zullen we de bewaarde citadel ontdekken in het 17e-eeuwse fort van Valença do Minho. Na het bezoek zullen we enkele van de traditionele gebakjes proeven.
De eeuwenoude landelijke en groene wegen leiden ons naar het hart van de subregio Monção en Melgaço, de geboorteplaats van de beroemde Alvarinho-druivensoort, waar we zullen stoppen om de geheimen van de Vinho Verde-productie te ontdekken.
Daarna genieten we van een wijnlunch, afgestemd op lokale producten en afgebakende wijnen.
Na deze oenogastronomische ervaring zullen de landelijke en traditionele landschappen van de "Groene Regio" ons leiden om de typische dorpjes van het oudste Portugese wijnbouwgebied en de historische erfenis die hier te vinden is, te ontdekken. We zullen dan een tweede proeverij doen van afgebakende vinho verde van de verschillende variëteiten uit deze subregio, met de harmonisatie van regionale producten, in een rustige en ontspannen sfeer.

I strongly advise against relying on this company's ratings or booking a tour with them. We booked their premium all-inclusive wine tour in Porto, which was significantly more expensive than comparable tours. The package included one wine tasting by default, and we paid an additional €37.50 per person specifically to replace the advertised cocktail stop with a second wine tasting. While the driver was pleasant and the first tasting was acceptable, the rest of the experience fell far below what was advertised. Lunch was served in a shabby restaurant with no view, no terrace, and very mediocre food quality. Given that the tour takes place in the Douro Valley, there were countless scenic restaurants overlooking the river that would have provided a far better experience. The most serious issue concerns the second wine tasting that we paid extra for. We were taken to an unknown quinta where we were led to believe we were being offered rare, exclusive Port wines unavailable elsewhere. Based on those representations, we purchased a bottle for €140. After returning home, we discovered that the exact same bottle is widely available online from multiple retailers for around €40. Whether this was deliberate misrepresentation or a complete lack of transparency, we feel that we were seriously misled. We paid a premium price for what was marketed as a high-end, curated experience and instead received a mediocre lunch and a second tasting that appears to be a rip-off and scam. We contacted the operator to raise these concerns and request a refund. Unfortunately, they have stopped responding to our messages altogether. In summary: an overpriced tour, disappointing food, scamming sales practices during the second tasting, and no customer service when concerns were raised afterward. I cannot recommend this company and am formally requesting a refund.
We have already informed you Mr. Chateauvieux, having our Legal Department present in that comunication, that you are seemingly trying to somehow damage our company , by writing bad reviews that have no legal validity, and to which you have no evident claim to sustain (we have this documented and shared with you). We have tried to reason with you respectufly, but if you persist, you leave us no alternative but to advance with the necessary legal procedures for slander and defamation perpetrated on us. We are a very serious company and we accpet cristicism when it's due, not when it's intentionaly damaging. From this point on, our Legal Department will take over the communication.
Pascal was a wonderful guide- very informative and hilarious at the same time. The wineries were small private and were really interesting wines and nibbles. Highlight was lunch cooked over wood fired stove
Hello, Eileen Thank you so much for your words. Hearing Pascal's Quality Report immediately gave is the impression that was a fun day with you guys. It was also a pleasure to craft this tour entirely to your preferences, so that you could be exactly what you wanted it to be. We hope to see you again in a near future in our beautiful country. Thank you, once again, for having chosen us as your travel companions. Your Tours Portugal Team
We were excited to have a private tour to the Douro Valley with exclusive wine tasting. Four of us were looking forward to seeing and experiencing this amazing place. Our first clue to disappointment was when Maria showed up in a sedan. Have to squeeze three adults into the back seat wasn’t pleasant. And the person in the middle seat was robed from seeing the beautiful countryside. The winery we went to was nice but certainly not a high end winery. Maria was an absolute gem and did a great job in explaining the history of the Douro Valley’s wine country. We opted for the river tour which was great. The winery and chill was a nice way to cap off the day. Maria told us there a mixup in the reservations and that they only had three listed for the tour and she would have brought a van if she knew there were four going on the tour. She also told us that her boss was aware of the situation. We were never contacted by Your Tours or given an apology. Terrible service recovery!
Hello, Mrs. Ramos We accept all reviews, good or bad, and we respect and reply to all of them with the same degree of professionalism, therefore, we would like to reiterate certain facts to make it a fair exposition for those who might read your review above: 1 - As for "not having contacted you", the tour guide Maria apologize in the same day on our behalf for having sent her the wrong number of people (3 instead of 4), and in fact we only knew that there was any type of discomfort on your part about the vehicle on Monday (08th Sept), that means 1 day before this review was written by you in this platform. So, as you may imagine, we need time to pass the information to our Quality Department so that they can activate the SGS international IS0 90001 Norms, and of course you will receive an email about your note of discomfort, given the process of the company. 2 - The vehicle used is not a "sedan", but a modern and comfortable 5-SEAT (4 passengers + 1 driver) MODEL Y TESLA FROM 2024, WITH A GLASS CEILING, that allows you to see everything in a ray of 140º degrees around you, having the following interior measures per passenger: Seating height: 41“, leg space: 41.8“, shoulder space: 56.4“, hip space: 50.6", measures that make it perfectly usable for a tour with 4 passengers, as it is informed on the Terms and Conditions on section 10, the same ones sent to you on the 1st September, date in which we were sending you still the first proposition, much earlier than your letter confirmation, which clearly demonstrates that we are an organized and serious company, by the way. 3 - As for the 1st winery visited, it is perfectly legitimate and we do accept that you may not have liked it, but saying that "it's not a high-end" winery, for as much as we respect your opinion, we must reiterate that it's a certified DOC Douro Wine Region's Wine Estate, existing in the same family since 1792 (18th century) and it has accumulated, just in the last 40 years, 138 awards(!), among them Wine Advocate Robert Parker, Internationale Weinprämierung Zurich and World wine Contest Brussels, among hundreds of others. All in all, once again, we will send you a more formal communication on our part, through our Quality Department, but we must insist that we've operated within the legal boundaries of the Terms and Conditions at every point of the service provided , with an excellent tour guide and top selection partners, and (we repeat), for as much as we respect your opinion (and we really do) we don't review ourselves in the way we're depicted generally in your review, Mrs. Ramos. Nonetheless, we are sad that you didn't felt your expectation met, as the vaste majority of our services tends to do, and for that we are sorry. Your Tours Portugal team
A wonderful, personal experience to discover not only more about the Vinho Verde area but Portugal in general. Our guide, Silvia was very willing to share her knowledge and answer our many questions. Even if she didn’t have the answer, Silvia researched it and advised us later. Nothing was too much trouble. Loved seeing historical towns and tasting the wines at a pace that suited us. Certainly left us wanting to spend more time in the area.
Hi, Explorer462483. Thank you so much for your kind words. We are glad to hear that you have enjoyed the Vinho Verde Wine with our guide Silvia (she was moved to read your words) and the historical cities of Alto-Minho region. We hope to see you soon to discover other authentic places in Portugal Thank you for your preference and recommendation! Best Regards, Your Tours Portugal Team
