100% recommend (sunset booking)
Absolutely recommend the sunset booking. It was absolutely amazing not only seeing Porto from the boat view but the sunset was gorgeous. We went in mid July and the views were stunning. Boat is clean and beautifully furnished and both operators are lovely! Had a great time. Highlight of my holiday! Nancy kindly took photos of us all and gave us great knowledge! Thank you!

Thoroughly Recommended
We had a fantastic day with our guide Bernardo as well as the other guests. The group was small but friendly and we had an enjoyable day, hearing about the local wine industry as well as visiting a small village enroute in the morning. We were able to sample some lovely wines and have a great lunch during the day as well. The minivan was modern, clean and well air conditioned. We had an excellent day travelling as well as getting to know our fellow passengers - would thoroughly recommend

A Must Do
What a fantastic time. The boat was clean. I went with my 15 year old son. Nancy and Hugo were amazing. They had blankets and wine and snacks and even better conversation. They were very knowledgeable. My son and I would definitely do it again

Bummer
The scenery was beautiful. Our guide was 20 minutes late picking us up after messaging us the day before asking us to come out early. The van was in terrible condition and lost electrical power a few times. Driver was erratic and I didn’t feel safe in his car. It’s a shame because these things ruined the tour for us. The vineyard was beautiful! Lunch was Ok.

Orlando was our guide and...
Orlando was our guide and he was simply the best guide we've had on any tour. Very knowledgable, planned a great itinerary, knew excellent spots for photos and selected a small family run winery for our tasting. He has a great sense of humor and is a great conversationalist. Can't recommend him enough and having a private tour for our Duoro Valley day trip.

Douro Valley tour
It was an interesting day to visit the Douro Valley . Excellent driver who was well versed in the area. However, maybe a bit too long in doing some things. There was an hour long cruise down and up the river. Pretty but not necessary in my opinion. Regardless a good way to experience the ports and wine of the region.

The best way to experience the Douro Valley
Highly recommend! A wonderful experience thoroughly enjoyed the boat through the Douro Valley. It was relaxing and the staff did a wonderful job providing an excellent lunch and a great bottle of wine with the meal.

Douro Valley wine tour and boat trip
Excellent service from start to finish of our small group trip to the Douro Valley. Pedro (Pep) was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout. We had a very special trip and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to take in amazing scenery along with tasty wines and port with again friendly informative owners. Even the lunch stop off for local food was extremely good along with a nice relaxing boat ride. Thoroughly enjoyable experience

Private yacht on Douro river
A blissful 2 hours spent idling along the Douro river under the 6 bridges, taking in everything Porto has to offer, accompanied by an excellent guide and some local fizz! Highly recommended.
