Railway Tours in Porto

Douro Valley Tour with Train and Vinho Verde

Limited information about the wines tried

The tour consit of a boat tour in a larger tourist boat with audio guide, a nice train trip, a visit to a winery for lunch with red, white and port wine. After a tasting of 3 ports (10, 20, 30 year) and visit to Amaste. There visit a wine bar for vino verde. The guide was very knowledgeable about wine making, the area and Portuguese history. However there were no information about the wines served with food or the vino verde served. During the port tasting we had a knowledgeable guide from the estate. We were a little unlucky with our fellow guests since they did not drink wine or port wine, and did not speak English. So I am sure it would have been even better with someone we could talk to and tate together with.

Douro Valley and River Tour from Porto with Lunch and Wine

Absolute photo dream for us and our Instagram

I did this trip with my girls' squad and we all loved it. The train ride was truly breathtaking and the vineyards of the Douro Valley were beautiful. One thing to keep in mind here is that you have to buy the tickets separately, but it's definitely worth it!! We're from a wine region in Germany ourselves, so seeing a different one was really lovely. The wine cellars and the tasting were definitely our highlight and we discovered so many delicious new things. On top of all that, the trip was an absolute photo dream for us and our Instagram :) We took endless pictures, in front of the charming houses in the little village, or while crossing the river, (also the tour guide helped us sometimes with them, he was lovely). In the end my gallery is definitely overflowing. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who loves wine, enjoys taking photos and wants to treat themselves a bit.

Two Day Tour of the Douro Valley

Wonderful and Relaxing Trip

The whole trip was an unforgettable experience. Starting from the views on the train going to Pinhao, the boat ride and the beautiful hotel in the wonderful village of Favios, everything was storybook perfect. Next day was even better! The wine tastings, the authentic dinners and lunches and the warm hospitality of the people makes this trip worth the price and much more. The making of the Moscatel wine was very informative, as was the history of the bread making. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to relax and soak in the ambience of the Douro Valley and learn its history.
