Tours on Viator are generally good, but this was superb. Pre-tour org was 10/10 - clear instructions on where to meet etc. Mini-coach also 10/10 - driver very calm and also funny. Everything as advertised. Lunch was really good (we are vegetarians) with plenty of wine. Special shout out to our guide and host Pedro (another 10/10) who was informative, fun and came out the next day to handover a coat we had left on the bus. Really highly recommended. Not the cheapest, but I think the best :)

Van ride to winery for port tasting. Local winery guide left much to be desired. Short train ride (1 stop) to get on a boat. Boat ride down river; sparkling wine was plentiful, snack were not. Lunch was not impressive. Van ride back.

Fabulous tour! Pedro was so fun! He gave us interesting stories and commentary with his funny and outgoing personality. He did a great job keeping track of our group while still letting everyone wander a bit. The wine tasting was wonderful and the lunch, delicious! Mina was a fabulous driver , very smooth which is important on the windy valley roads. I highly recommend this tour for all aspects - wine, food, views, calm boat ride and the lull of the train ride after wine and food. Thank you!!

Great way to experience several different aspects of the wine country all without the stress of planning. The tour was seamless in traveling to the Douro valley, exploring vineyards, enjoying the views from the river and a family serve style lunch. Then rounding out with a train ride and comfortable trek back. Our tour guide started off a little rocky from a late night before but he jumped in and was a great sport and we had a great time. The van was comfortable, the lunch was excellent and served family style with many options of local food staples. The wine was always flowing and you could tell all the staff at each place had such a love for sharing their country and culture with others. It was truly a delight. There’s no way we could have seen so much in that short of time, and times everything so perfectly to fit together. So glad we booked this experience or we would have missed out on such an amazing part of Porto

Miguel our tour guide and driver Rui were an excellent team. We enjoyed a fantastic day on a wine tour, boat ride in the Douro, traditional Portuguese lunch and train ride. The winery selected was lead by knowledgeable wine expert. The van ride was comfortable and air condition. Great value as we rode 1 1/2 hour to the Douro Valley.
Pedro Olive Tree and Miguel Palm Tree were fantastic hosts. This was the highlight of our trip to Porto, and I highly recommend this tour for someone looking for a good time while learning about the area. Five Stars!

We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to the Douro Valley. The scenic train ride and boat cruise were wonderful ways to admire the breathtaking views of the steep vineyard terraces lining the riverbanks. The lunch was pleasant, although dining at a vineyard would have been even better.
Response from Host, Oct 2026

Wonderful tour with Miguel. We really enjoyed our day. We started with the bus tour of Douro Valley, wine tasting sampling three port wines. We also enjoyed the boat ride down the river. The scenery of the terraced mountains was beautiful. The train ride was quick, but a nice relaxing break. Our tour ended with a lunch of fish, rice, pork and potatoes and a delicious cinnamon cake dessert. I would recommend this tour.
I don’t think it is an appropriate tour for children, but we had six on our tour bus under the age of 12.

A great day exploring the Douro Valley by bus, train and boat. Made even more fun by our guide Vitor. It was well planned — the vineyard and winery were very interesting and port for breakfast was good! The lunch was tasty and the wine kept flowing. And views from the train and the boat were magnificent. Our small group was great fun as well. Really fun day.

Get there early to get a good seat on the bus we went at the time advised and were the last to arrive, consequently we were in the worst seats.
It is quite a long journey and we felt rather unwell by the time we arrived as the bus was rather hot and cramped.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for choosing the Douro Valley boat, train and wine tasting experience with us, and for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're glad the day out was enjoyable overall, but we're sorry to hear that the journey left you feeling unwell and that your seats were not as comfortable as you'd hoped. The drive from Porto is a long one, and we understand how much a warm, cramped bus can affect the experience. We'll share your comments with our operations team as we continue to look at how we can improve comfort on board, including seating and ventilation.
Thank you also for the tip about arriving early. It's a useful reminder for future guests that seat selection on the bus is on a first-come basis.
We hope the boat ride, the train and the wine tasting made up for a difficult start, and that we have the pleasure of welcoming you to the Douro again.
Kind regards,
The Deltatur Team
Boat ride was not beautiful and too short. Train ride was horrible, no seat and very dirty
Winery stop was too short
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for joining us on this Douro Valley tour and for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that the day did not fully meet your expectations.
To clarify the timings, the tour description states that the river cruise and the winery visit each last approximately one hour. We set these times so that the day can combine several experiences, including the wine tasting, the cruise, the train journey and lunch, within one full-day programme.
As for the train, this part of the journey uses a regular service of the Portuguese national railway network. Because it is public transport, we do not operate the train and cannot control seat availability or cleanliness on board. We understand how disappointing this must have been, and we regret that it affected your experience.
Your comments are important to us and help us keep improving how we present and operate our tours. We hope you will have the opportunity to return to the Douro and see it in a more positive light.
Kind regards,
The Deltatur Team
What an incredible way to experience Porto and the beautiful Douro Valley! This tour had the perfect combination of wine, sightseeing, great food, and unforgettable scenery.
We started with a wonderful visit to a local winery, where we had the opportunity to learn about and, of course, enjoy some of the region’s excellent wines. From there, we took a short and scenic train ride before boarding a boat for a relaxing cruise along the magnificent Douro River. The views of the vineyards, hillsides, and surrounding countryside were absolutely breathtaking.
We finished the experience with an outstanding traditional regional lunch accompanied by more delicious wine. The food was authentic, plentiful, and the perfect ending to an amazing day.
If you enjoy great wine, beautiful scenery, local cuisine, and experiencing the culture of the region, this tour is a must. One of the highlights of our time in Portugal and an experience we will always remember! 🇵🇹🍷❤️
Response from Host, Sep 2026

We are delighted that every part of the experience came together so well for you: the winery visit and tasting, the scenic train ride, the cruise past the terraced vineyards and, to finish, a traditional regional lunch. Showing guests this combination of wine, landscape, food and local culture is exactly what we set out to do in the Douro.
We are especially happy to know that this day was one of the highlights of your time in Portugal. We would be very glad to welcome you back for another experience in the future.

A little if everything. Not too much if one thing. Miguel was a great tour guide.
The scenery was breathtaking .
Response from Host, Sep 2026
"A little of everything" is exactly what we aim for with this tour. Combining the boat, the train, the wine tasting and lunch in just the right measure lets our guests experience the many sides of the Douro in a single day, and we are glad that balance worked so well for you.
We will gladly share your compliment with Miguel. It is also wonderful to hear the scenery left such an impression; the Douro never fails to amaze, no matter how many times we see it. If you have any suggestions on how we could make the experience even better, we would be happy to hear them.
Thank you for spending your day with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Portugal.

You are right, the views of the Douro are hard to put into words! Sometimes they simply have to be seen to be believed. Thank you for your lovely review.

A great way to experience the Douro Valley… a bit of everything… mini bus, train, boat ride with champagne, lunch and wine tasting. Jorge was highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and clearly enjoyed what he was doing.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Minibus, train, boat, bubbles, lunch and wine: you have summed up the spirit of this tour perfectly! We are very glad it proved such a wonderful way to experience the Douro Valley.

We had a wonderful day with Pedro (our guide). Schedule was well organized. Did not feel rushed. Enjoyable sights of Douro Valley from our river cruise. Small group size was ideal for all portions of tour. Pedro ensured we were well taken care of. Lots of food and drink to enjoy.

If you'd like an authentic and excellent experience in visiting the Duoro Valley region - then this tour is for you. Jose and Miguel were awesome hosts, and shared much knowledge and a good dose of humour, along the way.
The combination of bus, train a boat travel during then tour was an excellent way to do it too.
The winery, Crofts, was nearly 600 years old and their Ports were yummy, and the local restaurant in the village was a wonderful and traditional joy.
Being on the Douro for 45mins or so, champagne glass in hand, is pretty special too.
it's a 10/10 this tour,
Response from Host, Sep 2026
A 10/10 from you is music to our ears. Thank you so much for such a detailed and generous review!
Knowledge and a good dose of humour are a winning combination, and we are delighted José and Miguel brought both to your day. They will be very pleased to read your words. It is also great to hear that travelling by bus, train and boat worked so well for you, as each one offers a different perspective of the valley. The visit to Croft, one of the oldest Port houses, and the traditional lunch in the village clearly made a lasting impression. Few things compare to a glass of bubbles on the Douro!
Thank you for recommending us so warmly. We hope to welcome you on another Deltatur experience in the future.
Kind regards,
The Deltatur Team

We had an amazing tour of Porto with Santiago as our tour guide!!! Santiago was informative, funny, personable and very knowledgeable about the history of Porto. We only had 2 days in Porto and Very happy with our choice of tours. Great tour to understand the layout of Porto!! I would highly recommend this tour, you see a lot of the city and the Gondola ride over Gia and boat ride was a great ending to an amazing tour!!!!
Very fun yet relaxed and beautiful tour! We really enjoyed the experience and it is one of the highlights of our trip, even with a lot of rain. We departed from the meeting point a little after the scheduled time due to one person running late and the guide trying to wait on them. From there, it was about 1.5 hour ride to the destination and we stopped at a little cafe for snacks (the guide made sure we had food options since lunch was planned for later in the tour) and restrooms along the way. We visited one winery where we had a tasting of three wines and a tour and explanation of the process. After that, we hopped down to the train station to ride down one stop and got on the boat. The boat was so much fun! We had sparkling wine, nuts, and fruit being passed around along with groups from Australia, UK, Brazil, Italy, Austria, and the US dancing and singing along to the music. This was truly one of those experiences where you felt the hospitality of Portugal and the magic you look for when you travel internationally. After about an hour on the boat, we arrived at a local restaurant for lunch around 2PM. They served fish cakes with potatoes, chicken with mushrooms and carrots with pasta, salad, and bread and olives. For dessert we had a Portuguese drunk cake which was absolutely delicious! After that, we hit a viewpoint on our way out of town for a group and individual pictures and then arrived back at the meeting point around 5:15.
The guides took our comfort and safety seriously and made sure everything was handled properly throughout the tour. It didn’t feel rushed like other day trips I have taken and I truly enjoyed that. There were also restrooms throughout so we didn’t have any issues there (cafe, winery, train station, boat, and restaurant). Food and wine were abundant throughout the day.
We would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the beautiful valley and wine country of Portugal.
I traveled with my husband and 2 daughters (ages 18 and 21). This tour option was perfect not too long. The combination of the car ride , train and boat were also a nice mix. 6 hours were perfect, anything longer would have been exhausting. Our tour guide Vitor. V and driver Miguel were awesome as well. After we returned to meeting spot we still had time to further explore Porto👍. Highly recommend this if you only have a few days in Porto.
Wonderful experience! Highly recommended. Miguel is knowledgeable, reliable, great driver, has great sense of humor... The our is organized nicely and curated for perfect Douro immersion. My favorite was boat tour! - Do not skip it! So grateful for Miguel and his guidance, as well for all the team mebers: the captain of the boat and anotheer guide - Tony who filled our trip with laughs! These are not tours or random people you meet - they are core memories of Douro!
