The most amazing day tour in Portugal’s Duro Valley! - If you want a day you won’t forget - enjoy a full day tour with Pedro Madeira in the Duro Valley! He picked us up at our hotel at 9am, he stopped at a train station to show us some beautiful tile art work that showed the history of wine. Then we went on a boat ride down the river for an hour next we went to a small vineyard with amazing wines, then to another small vineyard for lunch at the owners pool - the owner is an amazing chef! The wines were incredible!! I felt like we were a guest in their home!! Then a 3rd vineyard for more amazing ports and wines! We stopped at some of the most beautiful scenic spots for photos and got up close with a cork tree!! It was Pedro’s knowledge of all things Portugal that really made the trip!! If you ever have the opportunity to go to Portugal- ask Pedro if he is a guide in that area - I promise, you won’t be disappointed!

Walking the Douro - Pedro led us on a number of walks from our cruise - all of which were great - fabulous sceney, lovely weather, interesting walks with lovely views. He coped admirably with a very mixed ability group. He was a really knowledgable, kind and patient guide who was happy to share his enthusiasm and passion for the Douro region, its history and culture and its port wines. Not to forget his mum's lovely cake and wine!! He helped to make our holiday really memorable - wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Best experience in the Douro Valley! - What an incredible experience - we would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience the beautiful Douro Valley. We’ve traveled around the world and Pedro is by far the best guide we’ve ever had. He is a great communicator and plans the day around smaller, more intimate wineries where you feel like family! Pedro will also customize the experience depending on if you want to try more ports or table wines and includes little surprises throughout the day that make it feel so special. The day started with a early pick-up at our hotel (we were staying in the Douro Valley but you can also get picked up from Porto). We first drove to a lovely viewpoint where we could see the entire Douro Valley and then to our first winery. From there, we had the most delicious lunch at another family owned winery where we also drank some of their special reserve wines. We had time for one more quick stop at another wine for some port wines before hopping on the boat cruise. After a full day, we were dropped back off at our hotel in time to relax before dinner. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better day in the Douro Valley with Pedro. We highly recommend this trip!

Amazing Day in Douro - Awesome tour! We’ve done wine tours like this all over the world and this was one of the best. Our guide Pedro was knowledgeable & considerate. He gave us so much useful info but also allowed us plenty of time to just relax & enjoy. Pedro also did a great job booking us tastings at 2 fantastic wineries and a lovely local restaurant on very last-minute notice (our tour also included the public river boat tour & a couple of sightseeing stops). Very highly recommend!

Superb Day Trip in Douro - We just spent two weeks in Portugal with 4 siblings and their spouses, traveling the country from North to South, and our Douro tour with wine tasting was by consensus the best activity of an amazing two weeks. Our guide, Paulo, was exceptional- outgoing, passionate about the region, informative, and delightful to spend the day with. We visited three different wineries, each unique, with a delicious home-cooked lunch at the second stop. We learned all about the Douro region, the different varieties of wine and port produced, and saw some spectacular vistas. The day was capped off by a relaxing 90 minute boat trip on the Douro, replete with champagne. Can’t recommend highly enough! 10+++

Amazing day in the Douro - Amazing day touring the wine region with our guide Paulo who was fantastic. He has his own vineyard and we learned so much from him. We thought the price expensive at first but having completed the tour feel it was worth every penny 😊 we were picked up at 9am and returned at 8pm in a private mini bus for our group of four. The tour included two winery tastings , a superb three course lunch at a local vineyard with wine a lovely boat trip also with a great bottle of Pauli’s own wine!! Although the journey from Porto to the Douro valley took appx one hour Paulo was a fountain of interesting information which made it so special. If you have the time to do this tour we highly recommend it An unforgettable day Thank you

Incredible Day in the Douro Valley! - During my travels to Portugal this past November, I had the immense pleasure of taking a wine tour with Pedro! I heard about Pedro's tour from a friend who had used his services the month prior. He certainly lived up to the expectation! Booking with him was incredibly easy and smooth. He came and picked the four of us up from our AirBnB in the Douro Valley. Over the course of the day, we got to see three very different wineries, travel by boat on the Douro River, and even have a private lunch at a winery, cooked by the Mother of the family! Pedro went out of his way to teach us about the region, the wine we were tasting, and other interesting facts. Out of our 10 day visit to Portugal, the one with Pedro was my favorite! It was easily worth the price. If you're on the fence about booking with Pedro... do it!
