Tour do Vale do Douro: degustação de vinhos, cruzeiro e almoço do Porto

Milena was such an amazing tour guide! She was very knowledgeable about all of the city’s history and everything about wine! She played great music and kept the energy up during our long van rides. She kept us on schedule but also moved at the pace that our group needed. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to visit the Duoro Valley!

You spend a total of 4 hours on a bus there and back from Porto, which was not clearly communicated in the advert

My girlfriend and I (46/47 years) would highly recommend this beautiful trip. We experienced the unique vineyards, nature, the boat tour where we saw eagles, and a nice lunch. All the practical worked. Our guide, Milena was fantastic and very authentic. From start to finish, Milena banded the day with information, fine stories and lovely music. A very memorable day that we would recommend to others who love nature and want to experience the beautiful area.

Our Douro valley tour was a great opportunity to see spectacular scenery, learn about the making of port wine, and enjoy a healthy number of samples at the two wine tastings. Our host Milena was very knowledgeable and personable and contributed to a wonderful day.

Amazing! From Porto to Duoro. Flabio our guide and the driver were amazing. I ended up bonding with folks from Findlan, Sweden, Australia and Denmark. Great folks - we all sat together at the planned lunch at the winery and had great conversations. Flabio is knowledgeable, very attentive and a great pleasant host. Not much walking which was a big plus. Book it don’t wait!!

This was a full day activity which combined the perfect amount of walking with sight seeing by bus. The guides were knowledgeable, the food was delicious and the tastings were plentiful. Luis was our guide and he was personable and funny. He also gave us a pile of good Porto site seeing activity ideas to keep us busy for the duration of our stay in Porto.

It was a long day that flew by. We can’t recommend this tour enough. Michael was extremely knowledgeable and also really funny

We had a great experience with our group! Our tour guide Egor and the driver were hilarious. The wineries were a far drive but beautiful.

The tour guide and the bus driver were great, and the best part of the experience. The tour itself was not worth the time as it took more than two and a half hours to arrive to the first destination. The visit to the farm was beautiful, but I think we would have much rather had time for more tastings, especially considering the time it took to drive. The boat ride immediately after was nice and refreshing, but it seemed a little ad hoc. A glass of wine or refreshment might have been nice. The worst part of my experience with Viator has nothing to do with this tour, however. It was a mistake made on my part, but compounded by a lack of follow-up/communication with the company. I booked a tour almost a month ahead of time, BUT failed to receive any email notification confirming the tour. I kept searching my email and waiting, but could not find anything confirming my tour. So, the night before, in a panic, I booked another tour that same afternoon. This time, I did receive confirmation, but my husband also confirmed that we were charged for the earlier tour that I had no notifications from. I called Viator in distress. They were extremely unhelpful and said I booked the tours, so I had to pay for them both. This seems like a terrible company policy, and it caused a lot of mental anguish and distress, ruining a day of vacation with my family. I will never book anything with Viator again, and I will be disputing the double-charge.

Ok, so let’s start by stating this is a Port Wine tour. Ok all port wine starts as, well, red wine, but if you go expecting to sample wine, you will be a little disappointed (except for over lunch…… :)! We expected this to be a smaller tour, but we’re picked up in a large coach, comfortable but not so personal, and meant the tour group was large. Trip over took around 90 minutes, out guide, was very knowledgeable, and gave excellent insight into port wine and the Duoro valley. First stop was from the outside uninspiring, a large industrial unit, actually a wine “co-op”, but once inside the guide for this part of tour was excellent! Gave a short intro, we sampled some nice Port wines from the winery and had a good tour of the facilities! Nice lunch at the winery, with plenty of good wine (not port) from the “house” and then a short bus journey to our next stop, a boat trip in the river. Relaxing and beautiful, a good opportunity to let lunch and the wine go down! Next stop was what we were really expecting, a trip to a supposedly private winery, but actually it’s owned by Kopke, ind of the bigger Gaia Port houses, but in a stunning elevated location. Tour of this winery was to be honest, very poor, we were then given a couple of different Ports to try, with no explanation. Disappointed, great location this could be far better. Overall a good but not great day out. Guide was fantastic, views amazing, winery tours disappointing (go to Cockburns for a far better Port tour). Remember this is about port, and perhaps had the wine is made, but not, as advertised a wine tour, Also note, the photos are from autumn when the leaves start to change colour, in June it’s all green!
