General opinion...We had a lovely day. I usually don't enjoy organized tours but this time I would recommend this one. Yes you can do it by car but really, how much will you enjoy the wine/port if you drive? ;) Also with a small group you get a few advantages that big groups just can't. Logistics... We were a small 4 people group and they picked and left us where we asked. Van was comfortable and we all had enough space. About the guide... Our guide Pedro was attentive to details, asked us genuine questions to better tailor the conversation / shared some nice stories, and made sure we were having, overall, a great experience. Very nice person you'll be lucky to have him drive you. The tour itself : one morning winery (wining at 10h30 in the morning will be your biggest challenge of the day), a relaxed boat tour to digest (goes on one side and comes back so don't expect something more than it is), then you get to eat lunch in a very quaint place (amazing food, yet simple) and then another very lovely winery with an amazing service, generous portions and tasty honey and olive oil dégustation.

We had an amazing time on this day trip! Our guide Samuel made sure the day was perfect. He was friendly, informative and shared extra tid bits about the city during our drive times. (He also provided us with restaurant and site recommendations at our request. - Can't thank him enough!) Each stop on the tour was great! Lots of great wine tastings and perfect views. Would highly recommend if you have the time!

Our tour with Samuel was a memorable one! My wife and I are celebrating our honeymoon and we chose this activity to welcome us to Portugal for the first time. The night before the trip, we received a text via WhatsApp confirming pick-up time and location. Samuel created a group chat with our fellow tourmates which was helpful in keeping track of arrival time. We were a full group of 8 people (4 couples). Even though we sat in the back, the black Mercedes van was comfortable during the 1.5 hour drive out to the Douro Valley. Samuel was very friendly, engaging in conversation, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire tour. During the drive, he shared his knowledge of the region while safely navigating the windy roads. The first winery produced organic wines including organic port wine, olive oil, and honey - which we tasted all throughout our visit. Our guide at the winery was also very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Samuel then drove us to a beautiful home for an outdoor lunch. It had an amazing view of the valley, great food and of course drank plenty of wine. My wife gets sea sickness so there was some concern with the river cruise. Samuel was kind enough to reach out to the boat captain to inquire about the river's choppiness. The boat ride was smooth and relaxing; my wife felt fine during the entire ride. Our funny boat captain told us of the river's history while we enjoyed the views of the wineries from the water. They provided more local snacks and a delicious port cocktail. The second winery was nearby along the river. We had another informative guide who taught us more about the wine-making process. We enjoyed several more tastings of various wine and port. Safe to say it was a sleepy ride back to Porto! We had an amazing experience all thanks to Samuel and the other guides along the way. We HIGHLY recommend choosing this tour and ask for Samuel! Obrigado!

Unbelievable day! Jorge was great and such a good tour guide providing info and entertaining us thru the trip. I was amazed at our lunch venue - amazing dining experience!’

Marcelo picked us up right on time in front of our hotel. His vehicle was very comfortable as we had a group of six but we did not feel crowded and he also provided us with water if we needed it. Marcelo was very helpful and informative and has a great sense of humour. During the long journey to the wineries, Marcello provided us with many insights to the Portuguese way of life and its history. The wine tours were very educational and fun and again we learned a lot about the history of the Duro valley and the wine industry, The Duro valley was one of the most beautiful places I have seen, and this tour is not to be missed, highly recommended for anyone in Portugal.

Great tour with our guide Sergio!! He gave us lots of interesting information and was very pleasant and accommodating. Really enjoyed the wine tastings, especially our first stop at Dalva! Lunch at the school house and the river tour were excellent as well. Highly recommend this tour and the Douro Valley is a must see in Portugal!

Beautiful trip down the river with lunch at a small old converted elementary school. We were afraid of being put on a large boat with lots of people but it was a vintage boat for only 8 of us. Our driver George was great too!! Two interesting small wineries. Olive oil and honey tasting also included.

Desma_S

Very good tour guide/driver, Sylvia was extremely capable and interesting in her commentary, however audio system was at times inconsistent. Visit to wine estates and river cruise were very good.

Marcelo was an incredible tour guide. He made the experience very special. The vineyards we went to were magical. Lunch was great as was the boat ride. This tour is an amazing value!
