Great day out from Porto
A very enjoyable day. Vasco was super friendly and enthusiastic and helped one of our group navigate a minor medical issue with a trip to a pharmacy. The trip was a lovely balance of delicious food, drink, information and breathtaking views. The boat trip was a lovely way to finish it all off. All in all the trip was great value for money and we would happily recommend it.

Best tour guide we've ever had!
We had a blast on the Douro Valley Day Trip with Oporto Road Trip. Big thanks to Pedro, our guide, and Joel, our driver — you two made our day! The whole trip was really well planned and so relaxing. Pedro is professional but also so much fun to be around. Honestly, everyone on the trip kept saying how awesome he is — we all agreed he's the best tour guide we've ever had. Thoughtful, funny, and just really good at what he does. High quality experience from start to finish. Definitely worth the money. If you're thinking about doing this trip, just book it! P.S. attached a photo of Pedro making selfie when helping all of us take photos
