Details
Before exploring the stunning Douro Valley, take advantage of the convenience of being picked up in a minivan with eight seats from your Porto hotel. Before taking a river cruise down the Douro River, stop by local wineries, sample wines and local delicacies, and learn about the winemaking process.
Visit the Croft Vineyards to begin your tour and hear from your guide about the entire winemaking process. Your visit will come to an end with a tasting of port wine and a carefully selected selection of Portuguese cheeses.
After that, head toward the village of Pinhão, where you'll take a one-hour boat ride. Relax and take in the valley's scenery as you float along the tranquil Douro River. After that, eat lunch at a typical Portuguese eatery. Vegetarian, fish, and meat options are available.
Visit the winery of a small producer of table wine after lunch. During a private guided tour, you'll learn about the differences between premium wines and the methods used to make them. Enjoy a tasting of olive oils produced by the same company to conclude your visit. Along a picturesque road, you'll have panoramic views as you return to Porto.

This winery tour of the Douro Valley was MUCH better than expected. Our guide, Hugo, was very informative, caring, and navigated the tricky roads with ease. The whole experience was planned to provide education and enjoyment for all. We walked into a vineyard and learned about the grape vines and varieties, explored vintage grape stomping and processing rooms, and tasted amazing varieties. Lunch was prepared in the most beautiful and idyllic setting. You will not regret booking this tour. Thank you, Hugo! - Bob & Sandy

We loved our tour. Our guide Tiago was great! He explained us many facts and curiosities about the region. The visit to the first wine yard was beautiful! The views were just stunning and the Porto wine delicious. Gorgeous and interesting at the same time. Lunch was great too, with a wonderful view. We didn’t like the last vineyard as much and my opinion this should be changed. There were no views or opportunity to walk through the vineyards. It was not interesting as the other one and guide from there wasn’t very knowledgeable. But overall the tour was great. I would just change the last vineyard.

Felipe was outstanding guide for From Porto Douro River Tour 9 hours. Knowledge expert professionally relevant to being a guide, safe efficient driver, personable, sense of humour. 9 of us in group was perfect size. Best ports, wines, lunch, 1 hour cruise on Douro River, best and different tasting olive oil tasting and honeys. Had the best wine ever not available in Canada but can purchase on site. Amazing products and informative education. In addition Felipe arranged for me to attend 1 hour Fado show in Porto before leaving for my restaurant dinner reservation. Thank you Felipe. We were all so grateful you were our guide.

Very nice tour and Patricia the tour guide was professional, very knowledgeable and communicative. We loved that we could sit down, relax and be driven to all the places without thinking and every experience was amazing and authentic. Thank you for a great day.

Four of us took the tour on October 15, 2021 through the Douro Valley. We met two other couples who were in our van on the same tour and we had a tremendous day together. Our guide was Patricia and she was absolutely amazing. Her English is impeccable and she is very informative and entertaining. It was a perfect mix of wineries, the lunch was excellent, the boat cruise was lovely and the views were fantastic. Two of us have spent lots of time both in Portugal and also in the Douro Valley. We (and our guests) thought this was a perfect day to get a flavour of this part of Portugal.

The company contacted me the day before, picked me up from the hotel. Clear explanation of the day's program, and all happened as expected. Nice group of travellers (7). A good route and excellent speakers at each venue. The guide Guillermo was easy to follow, but knew when to stop talking, and he was interested in the passengers. I had a lovely day, as a solo traveller.

Great daytrip to enjoy the Douro scenery -- the tour on the port estate could've been a bit more informative but, our guide for the day was our walking encyclopedia so compensated a lot. The boat trip was nice and the lunch was great. The wines tasting also excellent. The trip in the van is a bit heavy on the stomach but thats the cost of exploration. Great value for money.

Amazing excursion. Very interactive and interesting. We’ve been introduced to wine and port wine making process and afterwards had opportunity to try local wines and products. Special thanks to our guide Guillermo who told us a lot of interesting facts about this region and the whole country itself. Also, we really enjoyed our small group as it gave us more personal touch with each group member. Lunch was very delicious and we’ve been breath-taken by the views during our river ride.

I would highly recommend booking. Our guide Patricia from Portugal Excellence Tours was awesome and very knowledgeable about Porto and the wine industry but also Portugal as a whole. She went out her way to make us feel comfortable and to alleviate our concerns as we where traveling during Covid.
