Authentic Douro Wine Tour Including Lunch and River Cruise

This was a perfect relaxing day to capture the Douro Valley. Our tour guide was great. He was helpful with everything. The wineries we visited were beautiful. Must do!

Amazing guide, so knowledgable and charming. The wine is incredible and both the boat tour and lunch round out a perfect wine trip. Highly recommend this trip

Our guide Sofia was excellent and gave us a lot of history about the whole region and the making of Porto and other wines of the region. Very personalized attention to all of us (small group of 8). Highly recommended 😄

Sofia was a wealth of info, included pick up/drop off, dynamic vineyard tours with tasting, lunch and boat ride.

Our tour guide was very informative, a great driver and made our experience wonderful. It really couldn’t have been any better!

Our guide, Andre, was terrific. Great tour and experience. Very glad we made the trip. Would recommend this to everyone.

The Authentic Douro Wine Tour was the highlight of my trip to Portugal. Beautiful scenery. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Definitely would consider Viator for future travels.

Excellent service and food. The tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable she know all the history of the region and was very helpful as well.

If you are fortunate enough to be in this area, don’t miss this tour. Our guide, Helio was terrific. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about his country. The tour was well paced, full of beautiful scenery, and there was a relaxing boat ride on top of that. I haven’t even mentioned the wine tasting which was, Wow!, a lot of fun and full of great information. Go for it !

This tour was great, and made all the more special by our host, Christian. As he picked all the tour-goers at different hotels, he asked everyone their name and where they were from, and then introduced us to the folks already in the van and them to us. It was the perfect way to start off the tour with a bunch of people you didn't know. He was a good driver, getting us safely to all the destinations, and in the areas with windy roads, he drove carefully and steadily which was important for those who get motion sickness. Along the drive, he provided lots of information - in a funny, casual way - with us, alternating between English and French to accommodate everyone in the van. I actually liked this as it then gave us time to chat among ourselves as he communicated with the others in their native language. The port vineyard (Quinta do Tedo) was fantastic. We had a wonderful host and the ports were tasty. Even though we were not alone in the tour, sharing it with other tour groups, It felt like a private tour. It was small enough to feel personal, and we had plenty of time with the tour guide to ask questions. Just a lovely visit. The second vineyard (D'Origem) was a bit of a letdown. Our tour guide was nice, but it felt rushed. The tasting was pleasant (olive oil, honey, and wines), but could not compare to the first. The tour of the olive oil museum was interesting, but I don't know if I would ever return to this vineyard. The river tour was nice, but kinda meh. In the area the tour goes on, the views are all the same. There is nothing really exciting about, but it was relaxing to be outside and take a little time to just breathe the fresh air and have some quiet time. The lunch was very nice, with a great selection of Portuguese dishes and wines. It was a small restaurant and very crowded and very loud (tour groups like this place apparently), which made conversation fairly difficult without yelling. The food was delicious, however. Overall, it was so much fun, and I am glad I was able to book this tour. Again, Christian was the highlight, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. I would definitely recommend this tour.
