Porto Boat Rides

We spent a week in Madrid and Porto and this was by far our favorite day! Ivo was the perfect guide - knowledgeable (actually from Douro Valley), funny and talked just the right amount (amazing English btw) The day had everything - wine, food, boat ride and the most BEAUTIFUL scenery. Perfect day trip from Porto. Thanks again!!

Jorge was great. I learned so much about the different types of wines and the Douro region. We spent just enough time at each location. Lunch was delicious. I would recommend this tour to those looking to spend the day in the Douro region. Tiago was our bus driver and he was also great maneuvering the many twists and turns!

We had Violetta as our guide in a small group of 8 (4 of us and 4 others who were all very easy to get along with) and she was amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly and fun.. The stops were fantastic, the wine, port, views, and food all great and the tour was perfectly paced. The optional boat ride was also well worth the small amount of extra money. Highly recommended by us!

What a lovely tour. The tour guide is Noanoa and he was excellent, I could be spelling his name wrong but he said Nono. Anyway, he was great and very informative. All the places we went was great. My favorite is the 2nd vineyard where we went through the fields and picked the grapes and was able to eat them as they are organic. The wine tasting was also good and very knowledgeable.

This was a great tour. I highly highly recommend it if you have a free day while in Porto. They pick you up on time in a nice AC Wifi van. The tour guide wade funny and accommodating for those with mobility issues. They give two two very different wineries to see which is good. The lunch is not an ordinary lunch. It’s a three course meal with unlimited wine. It was amazing! Only caution it is very hot. The tour makes it as cool as possible but just to be aware when traveling. We would do it again!

The tour was a lot of fun. The only real issue we had was that it was very difficult to hear the driver as we sat in the back of the van and we had three large adults in the rear seats with little leg room. Lunch was a nice restaurant with good service but the food was mediocre . The wineries were very interesting and informative and the wine and cheese is served were delicious

Excellent organisation, group was not too big, 25, minibus, Silvinho was driving like Carlos Sainz senior, not only because he stopped at Repsol, and Thiago was making a good atmosphere between the group keeping us awake with his jokes, wuips and subquestions. We’ve tried some divine taste wines, lunch was very good, we could make a pictures of a wonderful Douro Valley native and landscapes. River cruise didn’t took us too much time… Thiago gave us advices for other things to do in Porto, tips and hints… We’ve learned a lot abot Portugal and this region of a country. That was absolutely value for money experience!

We had an amazing day, starting with our guide Rodrigo being right on time to pick us up. There was a total of 8 people on the tour - a full van, and so much better than a large tour bus. Rodrigo provided a lot of interesting commentary on the way out to the Douro Valley. The first stop of the morning was at a beautiful little vineyard where we had a "second breakfast" (as the tour operator will tell you, eat breakfast before getting picked up because it takes about 90 minutes to get out to the valley). The "second breakfast" included a tasting of some olive oil, red and white wine, and some olives, bread and sausages. We also got to visit the vineyard's operations and cellars, which were beautiful. The views were amazing! From there, we had a short drive to a village along the river where we embarked on a boat tour. Seeing the Douro from the water was majestic! The last stop was in another village in the hills where we had an amazing meal and tastings. Great value for the money!
