Porto: Douro Valley Small-Group Tour – 2 Wineries, Cruise & Lunch

A day trip that went exceptionally well. Picked up on time, driven very comfortably in a Mercedes bus, super nice guide who gave lots of fun information about the country, people, and wines. The tasting and the visit to the winemaker were also very well prepared... and delicious. Boat trip and the drive to an extraordinary view of the valley rounded everything off. A day that was wonderful. Many thanks for that.

We had an amazing day in the Douro Valley with Jonathan! The whole trip was relaxed, comfortable, and very well organized. The highlight was visiting an authentic family vineyard, where Luis shared his family's winemaking history and explained the wine-making process in a really interesting and engaging way. The wine tasting was excellent, and it felt like a genuine local experience. Lunch at the family-run restaurant was delicious, and the hospitality was outstanding. Everyone made us feel so welcome. Overall, it was an informative, enjoyable day with great wine, great food, and a fantastic guide. We would definitely recommend this tour!

My fiance and I were lucky enough to somehow end up on this tour by ourselves with Jonny and we couldn’t have had a better time! He has thoughtfully and carefully crafted the perfect day to explore the duoro valley and experience it as if you were a local. We went to a lesser known vineyard which to me was so special to see because he cares so much about his product and building his future with his family, the boat tour was a nice break in the afternoon & we ended with a local lunch cuisine that was incredible. Jonny even stops at a special view point that you can’t get too if your on a bigger tour and helped us celebrate our recent engagement with additional champagne. Everything about the experience was great and we’re so thankful to Jonny for being so kind, informative and fun to hang out with for the day!! Highly suggest tour !!

Very nice trip with Jonny to the Douro Valley with a small group. Great wine tasting, nice relaxing boat ride, and delicious lunch.

This Douro Valley wine tour exceeded every expectation we had. From start to finish, Jonny crafted an absolutely magical day that we'll be talking about for years to come. What sets Jonny apart isn't just his extensive knowledge of the region and its wines though that's certainly impressive, it's his genuine passion for sharing Portugal with visitors. He didn't feel like a tour guide at all; it felt like exploring with a friend who genuinely cared about creating unforgettable moments for us. His van was comfortable, which made the journey through those winding valley roads a pleasure. On our drive back, we all sang songs together. It was such a fun moment that we'll always remember. The highlight was absolutely visiting the small, family-owned quintas that have been passed down through generations. Hearing the families share their stories, their deep-rooted passion, and the traditions they've preserved was genuinely moving. The scenery at each vineyard was breathtaking. These experiences completely transformed how we think about wine and Portuguese wine culture. It's not just about the drink itself, but about family, tradition, and a way of life. The unhurried, intimate tastings and the authentic connections we made gave us such a deeper appreciation. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portugal!

We had a wonderful day with Jonny. From the pickup to the winery, boat trip, viewpoint, food, and return, everything was well planned and accompanied with joy and passion by Jonny. My friends and I can highly recommend the trip!

Johny is an authentic guide and ensured everyone had an amazing time!

We had a wonderful time with Jonny in the Douro Valley. When he talks about having a “homemade-style Portuguese” lunch and visiting an “authentic, family-owned” wine estate, he is vastly understating the experience. While we also visited a major, historic estate, the lunch and tasting at the smaller wine estate felt like visiting family. We ate in the owners’ home, and to top it off, their 22 year-old tawny port was outstanding. It all felt warm, welcoming, and intimate. Thank you!

Jonny is a very friendly guide with a lot of knowledge about the Douro Valley, its wines, and ports, as well as their wineries. We had a delicious local meal at a small winery with tasting for lunch. We can highly recommend the tour, everything was top-notch 👍🍷😋.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars for we had a fantastic experience! Jonny put together an extraordinary day that delighted us at each stop. He is a knowledgeable guide - but what made it so special is his clear love of sharing his country with visitors. We felt we didn't have a tour guide - but rather were with a friend who wanted to make the day special for us. We were so lucky to spend the day with him for he was hands down the best tour guide we've had.
