Wow what a tour. This tour of the duoro valley really encompassed everything I wanted to see and do in the area. Wine tasting, Port tasting, Olive oil tasting, boat tour and a great lunch. All perfectly timed and without any pressure selling. I went on this tour just hearing a little about the area but nothing could prepare me for the views of the valley they are spectacular and some of the best views in the world a great place for a photographer like me. My tour guide was Maria and from the outset she was super knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Every question we threw at her was answered straight away. I couldn't of asked for a better tour guide. The best part of the tour was the last stop a family vineyard where they make port. the family owned business is super cool and the quality is fantastic but the main attraction for me was the views from the deck. I cannot explain in words just how awesome the views are so just take a look at the pics below....

Douro wine tour If you get a chance to book this tour; do it! They picked us up in a tour van directly in front of our Airbnb at 8:30am. There were 7 people on this tour. Then it was a 1.5 hour drive out to the tiny town of Pinhao. We had 30 minutes to wander or get a refreshment at a cafe before we went to see the olive oil and winery. The wines, olive oil and honey were great to taste with an amazing view of the valley. Then we were able to purchase wine to take home or a bottle to drink on the boat cruise. The cruise was beautiful and relaxing especially with a glass of wine. There was an inside area with blankets as well as an outside area to take in the amazing views. It was raining when we went but still beautiful. After the boat tour we were taken to a local Portuguese lunch (2pm) where we had salad, fish, potatoes, steak and pork as well as water, wine and desserts. It was a lot of food! Then off to a port winery for tour and tastings which was also great. Then traveled back to Porto where we were delivered safely back to our Airbnb about 6:30pm. A great day was had by all! Celia was our tour guide and she was amazing. The knowledge of wine and all things Portuguese was phenomenal! She was fun and talkative and answered all questions from our group! You’d be lucky to have her as your tour guide!
Excellent tour of the Douro Valley. It was over our expectations!! Tour guide: Lola was very convenient to explain and English and French for the mixed group. We could ask question at any time and she was very knowledgeable. Lunch was very good, but make sure to eat before leaving because we ate at 1:45PM. The boat ride was ok, but if I had to do it again I would not pay extra to do the boat ride (not that much to see). Thank you so much for the experience. I recommend to anybody that's in the region. :)
The Douro Valley wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. We were really excited for it but it far exceeded our expectations. The day started with our tour guide Violetta kindly picking us up from our apartment - she arrived right on time! The drive up was stunning and we were so impressed with how expertly (and calmly) she handled the difficult mountain roads. She was very informative and also hilarious - never a dull moment in her van. The wineries were even more beautiful than expected and all the wine was wonderful! In between winery visits, we were taking to a cute town where we shared a feast together in a local restaurant. We opted for the Douro cruise, which was definitely worth the extra money. Views from the boat were spectacular. Thanks again to Violetta for the unforgettable experience! Would highly recommend.
Violetta was a fantastic guide and gave us a whistle-stop city tour of Porto. She really made the most of the time we had and made it a memorable experience, especially with the atmospheric Fado too!
We did a full day to Duro valley with Maria. She was a total pro, and you could tell she loved her job. What a great experience for the family. Highly recommended.
We had a great day on a tour to Braga and Guimaraes Our guide was Hugo and he was amazing. He was punctual, knowledgeable, helpful and fun to be with. The van was comfortable and his information was very appreciated. Lunch was delicious and added to a more than perfect day. Call cool tours and spent the day with Hugo!
Duoro Valley Wine tour with Ines. A very professionally run day that I can highly recommend. Ines was great and an absolute font of knowledge. This company have a heavy focus on small groups (7-8) and authentic local experiences which, as an owner of a similarly orientated business in Phuket, I absolutely 'get' this strategy. The stop at Quinta do Beijo was perhaps the highlight but of course the scenery is stunning and never stops. The river cruise is a worthy optional extra.
