Wonderful private tour

Robin_A, Dec 2024

My husband and I had a wonderful experience visiting the Douro Valley with João as our guide. João shared a ton of interesting information and it was a pleasure to visit the valley with him and to learn from his expertise and guidance throughout the day. The tour itself was well planned with an excellent lunch of classic Portugeuse food that we really enjoyed. The port and wine tastings were also great and we enjoyed everything about this tour and would highly recommend it. We visited in early November and had a lovely day.

A wonderful day!

Samantha_H, May 2024

We had an incredible trip to Duoro with our guide Jorge! He was friendly and knowledgable, sharing interesting info about the area on the way there and making sure that our day ran smoothly. We visited two port tastings on his recommendation, as well as an incredible restaurant with amazing views, an upscale ambiance, and delicious food. Jorge arranged everything for us from start to finish, and we had an incredible time!!! He even made sure we got home in time for our reservation!

Jorge is a very friendly and informative tour guide. He knows his subject and shares it in an intelligent manner…no incessant empty talk here, if you know what I mean. He took us to a top notch restaurant that was quite reasonable. Very fun tour.

Best trip of the vacation

The driver Brahim picked us up on time at cruise port. We saw everything we had hoped for and more. Beautiful Sandeman port winery, a boat ride up the river, authentic breakfast and lunch, and a gorgeous look out at the Olive Oil museum. Truly enjoyable and perfectly executed.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Fabulous day trip with expert guide

LINDA_O, Jul 2022

What a fabulous trip to the Douro Valley we had with Luís as our guide! The drive through the region in an air-conditioned van was comfortable, memorable, and informative, and included stops for pastries, wine tastings, a lovely lunch, and a river cruise to cap off our day. Luís was incredibly flexible in planning our activities on the fly, making great recommendations and keeping us on track. Our group had a wonderful time and will remember this trip as a vacation highlight!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Toured the Duoro with a wonderful guide in a nice car!

Maggie_R, Mar 2022

Our guide, Walter, grew up in the Duoro valley and was therefore quite knowledgeable about all things Duoro! The people, the vineyards, the geography…it was a day well-spent. We spent time eating and tasting wines at several special locations. My husband and I enjoyed the day immensely!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Well organized trip

Dirk_A, Apr 2019

We were with a group of six and rented a private van. Exactly in time the guide/driver collected us from our apartment in the city of Porto. The Mercedes van was brand new. We started with a trip of 1,5 hour to our first stop. A bridge over the Douro River. Sight seeing, beautiful landscape. Then a boat trip on the Douro river. On the banks of the river plenty of famous wineries. After that we visited a winery. White, rose and red wine tasting and self produced honey and olive oil. Nice ambiance. Time for the lunch. Another hour by car to the restaurant. Again lovely views of the landscape of the Douro Valley. The lunch wasn't that very special. A bit disappointing. However, after the lunch we were invited to taste some great Port wines. White and red port wines. 10, 20 and 30 years vintage Port wine. Around 6 pm we were back in Porto. Some minor details: the lunch wasn't worth the money and the guide/driver used his mobile telephone during driving the van. So now and then we needed to correct his style of driving.

une merveilleuse journée

AGNES_J, Oct 2023

Formidable journée ensoleillée avec une guide Clara qui nous a prise en charge de façon dynamique et attentionnée. Elle nous a fait découvrir la Vallée du Douro qui est merveilleuse avec de magnifiques paysages. Je recommande cette visite privée .
