We had a brilliant time our driver Gean was friendly, helpful and informative, the boat trip was amazing scenery, again our captain Hugo and his mate were full of information, good fun and helpful. The food, wine and port tasting was great also again lots of information from the guides. We met some lovely people all in all a fantastic day and experience. Thank you Nick & Cath
What an excellent day out! We covered a lot in a relatively short time but it never felt rushed. João was a great tour guide, very relaxed and friendly and with great knowledge to impart. The port tasting was great, the boat ride was fun and relaxing and the lunch was excellent with plenty of wine to try. I’m glad we booked a small group tour, it felt very personal. I can highly recommend.
It’s a small group so you get to know everyone. Hernan was an amazing host and driver and took us to the best small wineries. Food, wine and company were the best! Douro valley and the boat ride were spectacular! Highly recommend!
Our tour guide was great, and lunch was beautiful and delicious. The scenery throughout the Douro Valley is also obviously stunning. That said, there are a few things I wish we had known beforehand. You spend a significant portion of the day in the van—nearly 5 of the 8 hours—and the winding roads can be tough if you’re even remotely prone to carsickness. The route also involved some backtracking between stops, which made the driving feel longer than necessary. The boat ride was quite short, and most of the wine tastings focused on port, so keep that in mind if you’re hoping to try a wider variety of Douro wines. Lunch also isn’t until around 1:30, so I’d recommend eating beforehand and bringing water, as none was provided in the van. Overall, we enjoyed our guide, lunch, and the beautiful setting, but I think the itinerary could be more efficiently planned to reduce the amount of time spent in the car and make better use of the day. And I hope you like port wine.
We had an excellent time! The wine was great and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We felt at home with our guide and he had so many interesting facts! Would recommend this to anyone visiting Porto!
It was amazing! So glad we took a small group trip. Our guide Jean told us everything about the region, about wine and made sure we are good Highly recommend
Amazing experience! Jean was an excellent tour guide, very friendly, welcoming, and informative. Amazing views, good vibes, great food, and great wine. Definitely worth it!
It was a great trip with a super guide. The food was very fine. Highly recommended
We had a wonderful time, Tiago was fun and a very good guide, the cruise, the wines and the food amazing! Highly recommended
The first winery alone was worth the trip, with sweeping views and no shortage of perfect photo spots. From there, we boarded a boat for a wonderfully calm, scenic ride along the water and when I asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail, they crafted one that was genuinely delicious, not an afterthought. The second winery doubled as a restaurant, and I’m still thinking about the potatoes! Easily the best I’ve ever had. There’s also a great bit of theater here: watching the wine bottles opened using the fire method is a small spectacle in itself. What truly made the day, though, was our guide, Joao. Within the first few minutes, he told us, “I will be your guide and hopefully your best friend until the end of the trip” and by the end of the day, he’d made good on it. The whole experience felt less like a paid tour and more like spending the day with old friends. Highly recommend, wine lover or not.
