Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto

Rebecca_S, May 2026

AMAZING Day in the National Park!

This was one the highlights of our 10 day trip to Portugal! Teresa was so much fun, extremely knowledgeable and ran a fabulous day trip! We saw a few different water falls, ate a great lunch in a very small village in the mountains of the national park. This trip would not have been the same without Teresa! Our group was also so great and we even made a friend that ended up coming on a tour with us the next day and for drinks in Porto! Cannot recommend this day more if you are looking for a unique experience that you might not otherwise get to do. We got back a little later than expected around 20:00 (8pm) but we loved every minute of the trip. You should bring a bathingsuit for optional swimming in the waterfalls because even though the water was cold, (it was still early in the season) it was well worth it and a once in a lifetime experience.

A great day out in the Douro Valley

Our driver and guide for the day was Luis M he was professional, knowledgeable and friendly he ensured everyone was having a good time. The trip itself was great stopping at Amarante first and then 2 wineries plus the boat trip and a number of viewing points, all of which were very good experiences. My only negative was that there could have been more wine, but then there can always be more wine can’t there!. Thanks Luís M for a very enjoyable day.

Great tour

We love the tour. We learned a lot because the guide was very knowledgeable. I had some difficulty hearing him sometimes because his voice is soft. Besides the rain, I have no complaints, but it is mother nature’s. Great tour, would recommend it to anyone.

Roaming through Porto with Ramon

Ramon was a delight! He knows Porto intimately, and was able to provide detailed information about the various sights. He was also full of interesting and amusing tidbits about the city and its people. His wife is also a guide, so it was fun as we bumped into her tour group along the way and watch them interact. Also fun was running into two women from an earlier tour who came up and gave him a hug, telling us we had the best guide in the city. They were right!

A tour not to be missed.

This has to be one of the best tours we have ever been on. Our tour guide “J” was so knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone on our minibus got on so well and by the end of the day we had all made new friends. The activities on the tour were so varied. The suspension bridge was a particular highlight. There is a lot of walking involved but we were fine with that. Then in the afternoon we even had a walk on the beach which we hadn’t expected. If you’re going to Porto you should definitely book this trip.

Lovely way to explore outside of Porto

Lovely way to get out of Porto and visit some more local and relaxed towns/cities. The Art Deco buildings in Averio are beautiful! In your free time make sure you visit graveyard! As you have a couple of hours free time make sure you check opening times before selecting your day for trip as done were closed on Monday. Loved the little canal trip and costa nova was picturesque! Great guide I think Alain & driver Lourdes.

Wonderful Day In DUORO

We had a wonderful day exploring the Duoro Valley with our host Ricardo and the other 6 guests on our tour.. Ricardo pointed out spots along our drive into the valley. We stopped at a beautiful lookout point before heading to the beautiful D'Origem winery. We learned how they produce their olive oil as well as their delicious port and table wines. We enjoyed several of each while enjoying the scenic view of the valley. After our wine tasting we headed to town for a wonderful lunch with our small group. The food was very good and the wines were plentiful and very good. Thank you Ricardo for hosting the perfect Easter in Duoro Valley.

Douro Valley and Régua Panoramic Cruise with Lunch from Porto

8nelson, Sep 2025

Douro river cruise

Great day on the Douro River. Began in Porto with a bus ride to Regua where we got on the boat & sailed back to Porto. The weather was fabulous, scenery breathtaking and the hot lunch served was delicious. We don’t drink alcohol & this tour was the only one we found without wine tastings. There was prerecorded information during the journey with interesting facts all in multiple languages, however it was difficult to hear which should be improved. Once we were on the bus, we were never introduced to the woman in charge & no knowledge of the itinerary for the day. There was also a young man with a camera, but no mention of his role on the cruise. I saw him taking some photos, but wasn’t sure if that was something that needed to be paid for prior etc. Despite the few flaws, we would recommend this tour if you are in fabulous Porto.
