Our tour guides were at... - Our tour guides were at our hotel at the exact time in the morning. They gave us a call the day before to confirm our booking and our pick up time. Our tour guides Miguel and Carlos were excellent and I would recommend them to anyone. They were knowledgable, very fun, and always willing to take photos of us. The winery was amazing and our guide at the winery was a wine maker himself running the winery and was very welcoming to our family. The lunch was fantastic and they were able to cater to some of our vegetarian needs. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

A fine experience on the Douro - The wine-tasting experience with Roberto’s personal explanations and his mother’s cooking were above our expectations. The food and wine from the Bucheiro family farm was an excellent experience. This part of the tour seemed to be a personal relationship courtesy of Antonio, who as our guide was also most helpful in giving us the experience of bus boat and train.

Great excursion - highly recommend! - Our guides Antonio and Carlos made this a day to remember! They were fun and knowledgeable and did everything to make this a wonderful experience. The Douro Valley is incredibly beautiful, and having the different forms of transportation - vans, trains, and boats - allowed for different perspectives. The excellent luncheon and wine tasting in a private home with the enthusiastic vineyard owner made the experience very personal and engaging. Our family group of ten (ages 26 to 90) loved the day and gave the tour a unanimous two thumbs up!

UNFORGETTABLE, WONDERFUL TRIP IN DOURO! - Wonderful views, beautiful landscapes. The boat was very comfortable, smooth sailing, where nature with its exuberance enchanted us at every moment. Our Guide ANTONIO CARDOSO, a true gentleman, paid us all attention and told us a lot about the local history. It was a perfect trip, I would do it multiple times without getting tired... the perfect atmosphere! The spectacular lunch, the visit to the CAVE was unforgettable. Returning on the train was an added plus..... I recommend the experience!

Simply spectacular - It was a wonderful day, I highly recommend this private tour. Our guide, “António” was very friendly, professional and attentive, providing a very assertive and interesting overview of the Douro region and all the details of the trip and its activities. Both the train ride and the boat ride were beautiful. The visit to “Quinta do Bucheiro” was the highlight of the visit, where we enjoyed a true and delicious traditional lunch with a wine tasting guided by “Roberto”. It was more than just a lunch as part of an activity, it was a real learning experience about the importance of wine production, and how you can enjoy the relationship between different types of wine and different dishes. I highlight the exceptional way in which we were welcomed into the home of a family with enormous tradition and history in the Douro region in which Roberto, being part of the 8th generation, transmitted to us in such a passionate and beautiful way the dedication and perseverance of the people of this region. of the Douro. We remember that wine production is not just a business, but rather a strong family “feeling” that is passed down from generation to generation. Thank you for the exceptional day you provided us.

Great Day in Douro Valley! - We had an incredible time in Douro Valley with Antonio. The boat ride was beautiful, and the wine tastings were very well informed. Antonio was an amazing guide, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. He went out of his way to make sure our group had a great experience in all aspects of the day. We hope to come back and would definitely use Deltatur and Antonio again!
