Douro Valley Tour: Wine Tasting, Lunch & River Cruise

We loved the tour. Patricia was an excellent guide, very friendly and the day was packed with interesting places, tasty wines and a really delicious lunch.

The tour was amazing! Everything fulfilled our expectations. The views were breathtaking. Our tour Guide - Patrícia - was very nice, helpful and full of interesting informations. We definitelly recomend it.

This was the highlight of our whole Portugal trip. Our guide was professional, kind and informative, not only describing wines and wine regions of Portugal, but also in history, arts and thoughts. He picked us up right in front of aur hotel, and we had a small break for a coffee or breakfast at 10 o'clock. During the wine tastings, it was only our group of 4 and a few other people, it was not crowded or like "mass-tourism" at all. Lunch was fantastic, also with white and red wines, soup, salad, fish or meat and a dessert, with amazing view, staff and enviroment. First I thought that this trip is a little bit expensive, but I'm very happy we chose this one, it worth every penny . Recommended!

Wonderful experience from start to finish! Small group tour was very personalized, our guide Patricia was informative, friendly and enthusiastic. Visits to the 2 wineries were fun and interesting - the second one in particular because the owner was our guide. Boat ride down Duoro River featured amazing scenery, much more beautiful than the bridges boat ride in Porto. Portuguese lunch was excellent quality in a relaxing outdoor setting so we could enjoy more of the view. We experienced a lot in one day but did not feel rushed. Highlight of our trip to Porto - highly recommend!

The tour was absolutely perfect. We started in the morning with a panoramic ride into the Douro-Valley. After a tour through a port wine winery and a boat ride we had a delicious lunch with an amazing view. In the afternoon we visited a family owned winery and had a tasting of table wine. The owner was a great host and answered all our questions. The whole experience was very interesting and super funny. Our guide, Guillermo, had a broad knowledge and made us feel comfortable and welcome. All in all a great day with a lot of laughter, great wine and food. Definitely recommendable

It was one of the best day of our 2 weeks trip in Portugal. The first vineward that we visited is Croft and its a big one with a beautiful pergola outside, where the tasting in done. You taste 3 kinds of port wine with cheese. After that, you have the boat tour and the lunch. The boat tour is like a little break in your day, it makes you see the scenery from a different viewpoint. The lunch was better than what i expected... It's done outside, under the trees, just beside a vineyard. The setup and the food are really amazing. Wine is included and you have the choice between 3 mains. I took the fish and it didnt disapoint. The waiter was funny also. The second vineyard (can't remember the name) was smaller than the first one, with a very passionate owner who made us taste as much as we wanted. They have biological wines and also make their own honey and olive oil which is cool. Finally, the guide was young and enthousiast and he knew a lot about the region and the wines. You have to take that tour ☝️😉

The Douro day trip was probably the highlight of my entire trip. The drive to Douro is beautiful and the boat tour provided an up close look at the scenery (plus the guide brought Port to enjoy on the boat!). We stopped at Croft Vineyards for a tour of the grounds and a tasting, before going to a wine pairing lunch at a nearby winery. Then we stopped at another spot for an olive oil, wine, and honey tasting in a 400 year old estate. It was such a fun day, with a friendly tour guide, small group (only four of us!), and great hosts at each spot. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful day! Go for the tour! You will love it! Perfect weather; nice wineries, great lunch!

I highly recommend this tour of the Douro valley! It was one of the more memorable experiences we had on our trip and we owe a lot of this to our wonderful guide, Tiago. He thoroughly answered our questions regarding the valley, the wine and port making processes, etc., And ensured we were having a great visit throughout the day. It felt as if we were on a tour with an old friend rather than just your typical tour guide.

The whole experience was well-planned and well-executed. Guillermo called us the day before our trip to confirm the pick-up location and was able to pick us up at our AirBnB. The drive to the Douro Valley was breathtaking. Guillermo was very knowledgeable about the region and Portugal generally. The vineyards were great to see and the port even better to taste. The sights from the river during the boat ride were unique and the trip was relaxing. Lunch was very filling and offered more wine - yum! The last vineyard was also very fun as we got to speak with the wine maker and learn about his process. I can’t recommend this tour enough! We never would have found all of these places if we had to drive ourselves. Thanks, Guillermo!
