Douro River Trips from Porto

Beautiful experience!! Joana and Tiago have been amazing! Joana was super excited and gave us all the information needed to appreciate the treasures of the lands we were discovering. First stop, Amarante, was too quick but enough to see its beautiful bridge and small square. The 2 cellars were very nice and interesting. In the first one they produce the muscat wine. The guide was very through ! I loved seeing here what they do and the lunch offered was good quality too! After that we headed to Pinhão where we did a 1h cruise on the river. It would have been perfect if the boat was open and they didn't close us between windows which blocked air that was essential as there were almost 40 °C! This was the only downside durin all trip. Too warm and the air conditioner wasn't even enough in the minivan. The second cellar was nice too, they produce port wine and the location was stunning. Less informative than the first one but we tasted amazing wines here as well! Overall amazing day!!

I did a similar tour about a month ago and I thought it was pretty good but this one raised the bar. The guide was just amazing and full of information. She also had a great sense of humor. The winery's chosen where great and so beautiful. The lunch provided was family style at this restaurant above a fire station. There was plenty of food and wine and it was well presented.

This tour is a must if you have few days to spend in Porto. Pedro is an excellent guide, that will help you discover the Douro Valley in the most beautiful way- the visit at the Pacheca, the lunch, the boat ride with Paulo and the visit at Croft winery are all of them mixed with joy and overwhelming beauty. It all ends nicely with a stop to a point from above, from where you can get amazing pictures to remember you of the day.

A great day out from Porto. Port tastings at two wineries, and wine with lunch! We were offered traditional tasty lunch options and had a relaxing lunch chatting to other people on the tour. Definitely good value and lovely to see the beautiful views if the Douro valley!

Ivo was the best! He is so informative and an overall awesome person! We felt really comfortable with him, and we just had the most amazing, beautiful day. I highly recommend this Boat tour/winery tour to anyone who will be in the area. Getting picked up from the hotel is also a fantastic plus!

Know that the pick up location listed is not the exact spot. You have to go to the nearest tourist office (which should be the one you booked with) and they will point you to the bus you’re suppose to get on. They match the vehicle with how many are completing the activity. For us it was a bus not a mini van. The cruise is not personal to your group. It’s shared with other people that paid for their own seats. You have to buy the wine you desire at the time you’re at that specific winery otherwise purchase online if that’s offered. The experience over wall was lovely. I would recommend if it matches your budget.

really wonderful tour guide so friendly and knowledgeable! great vistas, nice boat ride, delicious (and copious amounts of!) port and wine. fascinating vineyard tours. an A+ outing! (21 year old grandson with 82 year old hip grandmother...everyone would enjoy this, highly recommend!)

One of the best guided tours we have been on. The tour guide, Sophia, was very knowledgeable, considerate and entertaining. Sophia’s English was excellent and her anecdotes kept us all amused. The winery tours were very good and food and wine great. The river cruise was a nice way to relax after lunch. The coach driver, Daria, was polite and friendly. Highly recommend this tour.
