Douro Valley Tours from Porto

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 is a must do! The overall crew, guide, location choices and trip were all spectacular. My wife and I had a fantastic time.. we met some great people from around the world. The weather was uncharacteristically hot but our guide did everything possible to make our day trip comfortable and enjoyable! Highly recommend…obrigado.

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.

Our bus driver Pedro is from the area and had great insight into the valley. He agreed that full boat ride from Porto misses out on hilltop views and not much to see for first hour. Long bus ride with 40 people but we all interacted well with guide Caterina. excellent port stops at large and family operations. Full lunch with wine and more wine at river walk was great.

Great tour and great guide!! My husband and I had a great time. The wineries we visited were so nice and fun, the wines were so delicious, the lunch place was delicious and beautiful, and the views the guide took us to were amazing. The small group tour was the best. The guide's talk was so fun, and we learned Portugal history, culture and economy through his talk. We just had a wonderful time, thank you so much!! Also, before the tour, the company communicated with me quickly and responded to my questions, which was very helpful.

Guide Needs to be more interactive with the clients. Very little info and with the long bus ride he could have given lots of info on the area and Portugal. Never really ever knew what the next agenda was as he never gave a good overlay of what we were doing and time spent on each. Noticed a couple of the guides from other tours were very involved with their groups. Our guide acted like he didn't really wanted to be there.

If you dont do this for any other reason, you do this for the scenery. I have been to Italy numerous times, and this is more magnificent. We went with a group that were not wine aficionados, but were glad they went, as the area and the history was the main event. Our guide Lola, was stellar!

I didn't really know what to expect from this tour, but it was so much better than I could have imagined! The tour was so amazing, our host, Violet, was so welcoming and warm and she made the tour a really great experience! She always made sure that we were all okay and accommodated all of us. Great day, even better wine and the knowledge given was well worth every penny! It's a must!
