I would have given this a 5-star rating if the food had a better option. With international guests from around the world who may not be accustomed to Portuguese food, other selection should be made available. My friends and I did not enjoy the food at all.
Otherwise, everything else was TOP-NOTCHED. The guides, Ricardo, Diana, and Tiago were first class! They were friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable, & informative. The wine tasting was excellent, although I would have thought they'd be served with some crackers or a bit of cheese. All in all, the tour has exceeded our expectation! But please review your food menu.

My husband and I had limited time in the Duoro Region, and chose to spend it in Peso da Regua, a former hub for transporting wine on to Porto.
To get the most out of our time, we took the suggestion of our Hotel, and booked a private tour with DeltaTur (https://www.deltatur.pt/) as they had a tour which was perfect for us!
We were picked up at our Hotel in a late model Mercedes, driven by our wonderful guide Antonio. First stop, after a drive quite high in the hills, along mostly quaint cobblestone roads, we arrived at a Winery for a wine tasting (3 wines and a port), and a tour of the old, prior, olive oil production facility, and then a tasting of their excellent olive oils.
Next stop was to the train station where we rode to the next town, Pinhao, in vintage coaches where the windows went down allowing unobstructed view of the breath-taking scenery. We returned to Regua via a private boat owned by DeltaTur, along with only 6 others (with another DeltaTur guide), so it was still very private. The boat ride was amazing...there are not enough superlatives to describe the beautiful scenery! After returning to Regua, we had lunch in a picture-perfect restaurant situated at a bend in the river, for yet another great view.
Throughout all of this, our tour guide Antonio was great - informative, attentive and very helpful. The other staff of DeltaTur were also friendly and helpful, giving the impression that they were very happy in their jobs. This was truly a first class experience, which we heartily recommend!!
Thanks again Antonio!

Antonio was PERFECT! From his very nice Mercedes to his excellent driving skills to his knowledge of the area and everything in between. We felt like he could have been one of our friends for the day. He went above and beyond the whole time and did it with a constant smile. He’s genuine hospitality.

Great daytrip from Porto to Douro River Valley. Antonio Cardoso was incredible driver and guide, charming and fun! Easy pick up and return at our hotel in spotless Mercedes and full of stops with vineyard tasting/tour, nice riverside train trip for lovely lunch overlooking the Douro, and thrn boat ride back to car. Antonio even took us for quick detour to beautiful and historic Amarante with it Renaissance church and monastery. I highly recommend 👌

Wonderful day in a small group, which added to the experience, and a fantastic enormous lunch with plenty of local wine. The boat and train rides were both leisurely and scenic, plus the winery fare at Quinta do Tedo was excellent. But most important was the guide, Gonçalo, who was just wonderful in both French and English, covering all the local information and going out of his way to help us return to our hotel.
