Absolutely amazing! - Paulo was amazing and knowledgeable on our tour. We learned a lot on our ride over to Amarante and he showed us the best places there. At the vineyard the tour leader was fun and told us all about their organic wine, olive oil, and honey processes. We got to walk around the vineyard, see the giant wine barrels and try wonderful wine, olive oil, and honey. It was a smaller tour group, only about 14 people. After we got a full lunch with desert at a lovely restaurant with a great view. The boat ride was fun and relaxing. The area of the river was peaceful and beautiful. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to spend a lovely day in Douro Valley!

Amazing experience and best wine tour I’ve been to - Amazing day trip with our guide Hugo. The day was well balanced and organized. Had one wine tour at a family farm (with more than enough opportunities to have wine throughout the day at lunch and on the boat cruise as well). The Douro region is so winding but Hugo’s driving was very smooth the whole day and he did great keeping our small group of 8 comfortable in the van and on track at each of our break stops - he never once would’ve left us behind. 10/10 for Hugo! It was such a wonderful day and the highlight of our time in Porto. 100% I would recommend this company and doing a day trip to the Douro valley.

A perfect day in the valley - Nelson was an excellent driver, professional and friendly and knew a lot about the region. The lunch was very nice with traditional Portuguese food and all you can drink wine! The cruise was smooth and views amazing. The winery we went to was beautiful and our host was super knowledgeable and had great energy. We tried wine, olives and honey! All in all a perfect day

Great trip - We recently took this tour and had a fantastic experience! Although the ride was long, it was absolutely worth it because the views along the way were spectacular. Lunch was delicious, and the wine tasting was a delightful experience. Our tour guide, Nelson, was excellent. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

A full vacation in a day - This tour has an enjoyable leisurely pace while presenting much information about the history of the Douro region, wine-making and the Portuguese culture. Paulo, our guide, had a great sense of humor and his presentation and demeanor told us much about the wonderful Portuguese culture — warm, life-loving and friendly to strangers. The views of the valley from both the van and the boat were stunning. The wine tour was delicious and informative. Lunch was good. Everything was well-organized but relaxed. It felt like a full vacation in a day

I have to say it was one... - I have to say it was one of the worst tour we did. It was more a driver than a guide. He did not explain anything about the region or anything. I had to ''argue'' with the driver because he wanted to cancel one of the activities because a couple in our group had a dinner reservation back in Porto, when it clearly says in the description not to book anything. Also, we booked a tour in French, we were put in a group with a couple that barely spoke english and a family who only spoke Portuguese. It was very awkward in our van and during lunch. Unfortunately, I can not recommend this tour to anyone.
