It's our first time in Porto and hopefully wouldn't be our last. I highly recommend this tour 10/10. The people from Oporto Road Trips were very swift with communicating with me regarding changes in the itinerary. They provided clear information about our driver, plate number / type of car and all information for pick up/drop off.
Our driver / tour guide, Marcio, was very prompt and arrived at 8:05 am for hotel pick up and got us back exactly at 5:30 pm, which was mentioned in the itinerary. He drove us to a quaint town, Amarante to see the church, views of the river and the little town. He then drove us to 3 different wineries that included a sommelier educating us about the history / wine production, diff kinds of wines and we were also asked to enter an old wine barrel if we liked! We also went to a restaurant for a traditional portuguese lunch that included red / white wine, espresso, meat marinated with port wine, lamb with potatoes/carrots, beans and sausage and white rice. The boat tour was amazing as well, the views are stunning! A must see. He was also very knowledgable about the city of Porto, Villa Real, Amarante, Douro and he was also able to show us some sceneries for good photography spots. He also drove us safely and smoothly throughout!!

We lucked out with Eduardo as our guide. The Duoro Vally is absolutely beautiful and of course, the wine and port tastings were great, but Eduardo made the experience that much better. He was quite accommodating to a non-drinker on our tour and made that person's experience equally fun.

Dear Tracy,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable experience in the Douro Valley.
It's especially rewarding to know Eduardo helped make the day memorable for everyone in the group, ensuring each guest could fully enjoy the experience.

Our favorite tour. Enjoyed the Winery tour and wine sampling. The view from the Wine Tasting Room was outstanding. River boat tour was refreshing. Lunch and wine was very good. All views of wine country was outstanding.

Really fun especially as a solo tourist. The travel host was amazing. I wouldn’t bother paying for the wine tasting as most people on this tour ended up doing the river cruise so I ended up paying for both as I didn’t fancy doing the wine tasting on my own

Márcio was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating to us. He took us to one of his favorite spots on the way to take pictures at and he gave us some recommendation in the town that we stopped at. He also told us a lot of history regarding the winery that we were going to visit and Porto wine. The food was good, if you are open to trying new things or like the local food. If you are a picky eater, make sure you note preferences when booking so that the restaurant can accommodate. Finally, the boat tour was good, but I would’ve rather done another winery instead.
Overall, I’m glad we booked this with a local guide because the streets are very narrow and we wouldn’t have been able to drive in some of the parts that the GPS took our local tour guide to.

Dear Nancy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your day exploring the Douro Valley with Márcio.

Request Sandra as your guide. She was the absolute BEST tour guide. Also fun, personable , extremely knowledgeable, and the best driver. You could ask her anything and she would know the answer. She navigated the roads like the professional that she is. She literally was the best tour guide ever. She made the tour a must-do. We didn’t have any cash with us & I will forever feel guilty that we were unable to tip her. She deserved one.
Beverley_M, May 2026
This was a fun day with a small group. We have a very entertaining guide, Bernardo, who gave us lots of interesting information and also made the trip fun. The Port tasting was really enjoyable and interesting and the lunch was very generous with lots of wine! Great scenery, great wine, great food!

It was an amazing day! Pedro was our driver and guide and he excelled at both. The drive is well over an hour and he kept the eight of us entertained with his astounding knowledge of Portuguese culture, history and wine. He also has a wonderful sense of humor. We did a quick coffee/pastry stop then headed to our first tasting followed by a delicious lunch including more wine! After lunch was a cruise on the Duoro which was blissful due to the peaceful river and the beauty of the area. We had another very interesting winery tasting and then headed back to Porto. Overall it exceeded my expectations and was a perfect day. We also lucked out with gorgeous dry weather in November!
Thao_T, Nov 2025
Pedro made the tour so fun. His sense of humor, knowledge and energy made him the perfect tour guide. We enjoyed 2 of the 3 wineries. Lunch was great. Douro Valley was amazing and beautiful. We wish we had more time to try more wineries.

We did the 3 winery tour. Our guide Joanna was very sweet and helpful. The tour was excellent. She also had our group stop at a local cafe to get breakfast before first tour which was awesome since most cafes were not open early enough for us to get something before getting in the van.
The first winery Quinta do Bejo had a great tour. The last one Quinta de Tedo was definitely the best of the 3, the port was great and the tour was great. The 2nd stop which was the "extra" for the 3 winery tour was just ok, we got brought in through the service entrance/loading dock instead of the front which was strange and it was really just a tasting without any overview of that winery.
A couple of points to know. The 2 winery tour with the boat and the 3 winery go in the same van, so half of the communications say 2 winery tour with boat ride and half say 3 winery tour which was a bit confusing but not an issue with the tour itself. I just kept thinking they has switched my tour without telling me (they didn't). The 3rd winery is while the other part of the group is on the boat.

Joana was the best Tour guide we have ever had, with any tour, anywhere. Bright, energetic, informative and very punctual. Exploring the Douro Valley is great day, but most who book this tour already know that. Joana made it a memorable experience. Oporto Tours is lucky to have her as an employee.

What a great experience! After being picked up from our hotel we realized that it was not the tour we initially booked, but it was definitely still worth it. Douro Valley (and the entire region) is absolutely stunning, pictures simply cannot do it justice! Our guide, Pedro, was extremely fun and personable and had extensive knowledge about the wineries, local areas and Portugal in general. We learned a lot during the winery tours and had a great time tasting different wines, olive oil and local Portuguese food. Pedro definitely made the tour exceptional with his contagious love of wine and Portugal, the only downside is that we have a newfound love of Port wine and the available selections at home leave something to be desired! Ha!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear Nikki,
Thank you for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad Pedro’s energy and love for Portugal helped make your day in the Douro so special. And yes — Port wine has that effect on people!
We truly appreciate your recommendation.

It was a really fun experience with an awesome driver/ tour guide. You get to see beautiful landscapes while enjoying wine. They tried to accommodate for dietary restrictions where possible, which was appreciated. I would say the experience could be improved if all the tasting sites provided snacks with the wine, instead of just the one.
