What To Expect

Your private tour of the Douro Valley begins with pickup at your hotel in Oporto, Braga, or Guimaraes. Your guide then escorts you to this famous winemaking region, where your first stop is a longstanding family-owned wine estate. Guided by the staff, you’ll sip and sample several varietals and local products for pairing.

From there, you’ll travel down the iconic N222 road—have your camera at the ready. You’ll eventually leave the valley behind, trading it for water and a boat trip down the Douro River (included). You’ll stop for a “wine lunch” in the traditional town of Provesende, with time for leisurely exploration after your meal.

You’ll wrap up the day in Sabrosa, another lovely vineyard town in this UNESCO region, sampling a few more local products and wines before you’re dropped back off at your hotel.

We had a wonderful day with our guide Paulo. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great relationship with all of the folks we met along the tour. I highly recommend Paulo. The Douro Valley is beautiful and full of great wineries and wonderful people. We really enjoyed our lunch in a tiny village, boat ride up the river, wine tastings and most of all interacting with the locals. This is a very special place that I highly recommend.

An amazing day in the Douro!
Paolo_D, May 2024
Tiago was an amazing tour guide - he was very informative about the local culture, Portugal’s history and a wealth of knowledge bringing our Douro Valley Tour to life. We toured 2 local family owned wineries, went on a boat ride and had an authentic lunch at a small, family owned restaurant in the heart a quaint, small town - all amazingly fun and memorable. Awesome day, amazing guide and truly a wonderful day!!!

Lovely Day Exploring the Douro Valley
Theresa_L, Apr 2024
We had an incredible day in the Douro Valley with Nuno as our guide. We brought our 3 year old and 11 month old and Nuno was so kind and helpful. He shared many pieces of valuable information and really took the time to help us get to experience the area. Each stop was lovely. After taking many full day tours across the world, I would highly recommend this tour and Nuno.

A Thoroughly Enjoyable and Memorable Day
Linda_F, Oct 2023
From start to finish this well structured tour was an excellent introduction to the beautiful Douro valley. Our guide/driver, Joao, was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. There wasn’t a part of the day that failed to impress - the stunning scenery, the wine tasting “breakfast” at the Quinta Seara d’Ordens vineyard, the boat trip along the Douro and the delicious traditional Portuguese lunch (with more wine!) in a quiet hillside village. Joao went out of his way to ensure that we got the most out of our day, adding in a visit to the picturesque town of Amarante on the way back to Porto. I would highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hello Linda, Thank you for your positive review; your message has been passed to the team. We are delighted that you had a great experience on all the tour and with our partners at Quinta Seara d'Ordens. We hope to see you back in Portugal very soon! Best Regards, Your Tours Portugal Team

Awesome day, time well spent.
Jenny_V, Oct 2023
We had a wonderful day with Andre. He worked so hard to make sure every moment of our day was enjoyable. He was at our hotel promptly making sure our seating and environment were comfortable. While driving to the Douro valley, Andre educated us about the region and why it’s a spectacular wine producer. We stopped for wine/port tastings as well as lunch at a lovely authentic restaurant run by a remarkable woman and her family/friends. Andre checked in frequently to assess how we enjoyed every activity we did. He secured outdoor seating for us on the river cruise (which was very crowded when we arrived), we greatly appreciated his efforts. When traveling, the connections and memories we make are invaluable to my husband and myself. We are grateful for our day in the Douro valley with Andre. Thank you!

A wonderful way to get Introduced to the Douro Valley!
Margot_G, Sep 2023
We were 8 friends in a van driven by Andreia, our guide.Vahe picked is up at our hotel in Porto. She was terrific!!! She first took is to a large winery that is completely organic and Portugese called Portal. There we tasted several ports and saw their state of the art facility including living roof. Then we went to lunch in a medieval village and had authentic cured pork butt with fish and vegetarian options. The wine was poured in carafes and we enjoyed appetizers from chicken filo to spinach mini pies. There was the end of a religious festival going on. It was very lively and fun to watch. Then we went to a 1 hour boat ride on the Douro. Next we went to our last stop, a winery/port maker, where we had Port.I Tonico cocktails. Next our drive back. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us on our busy schedule. We spent 101/2 hours from 8:30-6pm on the tour.

Hi Margot, Thank you for taking the time to write an review, we're glad you enjoyed the experience on the winery, on your lunch featuring a true Portuguese meal and the rest of your the trip. We hope to see you back in Portugal soon! Best Regards, Your Tours Portugal Team

Justin_H, Sep 2023
This is a trip everyone should do. Between the wine, the history, and the boat trip it was over the top. We especially enjoyed the meal in a small tavern with a local family.

Disappointing
Stuart_S, Sep 2023
The van that picked us up was old and tired. Very load in the back and almost impossible to hear the guide. Because of the condition of the van one of our friends became ill and we were forced to end our tour early. The winery offered 4 wines to taste but we were not shown the vineyards, processing rooms or explanation of how the production occurs. Very limited tour. I enjoyed the boat ride but not much to see and we were forced to miss lunch due to my friends car sick illness.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hello Stuart, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. First of all, we would like to point out that we are a certified company that operates and complies to rigorous quality protocols. Therefore, all our guides complete a quality and incident report (QIR). Based on your guide's RQI, we know that one member of the group felt unwell, and that several alternatives were proposed to ensure the proper execution of the private experience, including going to a pharmacy and obtaining some kind of medication, but the group's decision was to return immediately to the accommodation, a decision which we respect, although we were sorry that they didn't fully enjoyed the experience. If your future plans include traveling to Portugal, it will be our pleasure to provide you with a private experience that will most surely meet your expectations and also our expectations as your travel companion in Portugal. Please feel free to contact us. Best Regards, Your Tours Portugal Team
