Ask for João! - João was an amazing guide! He was knowledgeable, funny, and charming. We learned so much about the Douro Valley region and the wineries we went to were excellent. Best tour I’ve been on in years.

Highly recommend full day in Douro Valley - We took a full day trip to Douro Valley from Porto and it was wonderful! Alex was our guide and he was fun, engaging and the entire experience felt very private and tailored. We loved escaping the city for the day and the valley/river is absolutely gorgeous. I would highly recommend this trip.

Look no further. Great tour even better guides! - I searched for hours late at night trying to find the right tour. I arrived in the morning only to find out that there was a mistake in booking. Gisela was AMAZING not only as an employee but as a tour guide. She spoke to the office and communicated with the other driver of the tour and the arranged a proper drop off location for me along the way. I got to spend some time with her and the others. She's so knowledgeable and a great vibe. I met up with RUI after and he was another great guide.. great driver and very focused. Nice to talk to. Both were great 10/10

Amazing Tour led by Alexandre! - We had an amazing small group wine tour in Duoro. We began by departing from Porto in a group of 6, led by Alexandre, our amazing tour guide. Alex took great care of us and was extremely knowledgeable about wines and the region, combined with his super cool and easygoing attitude. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! Our first stop was in the beautiful Amarante for a coffee and a visit to a historical church. Then vineyard #1, next a delicious lunch, boat cruise, and a final smaller vineyard with the most amazing views of the entire valley. A perfect day overall!

Small Group Wine Tour in Douro Valley - This was a small group tour—1 van, 7 people—perfect size. Chris, our guide, was knowledgeable, funny, and friendly. It was a super hot day so at one point he filled the van with ice cold waters which was a great gesture. He absolutely made the trip enjoyable and was very accommodating. #1 First stop: Amarante – Viator lists it as a coffee break, but it's really free time to explore and grab coffee (not included). Charming little town. #2 Sandeman Winery – Large estate with beautiful views and rich history. Winery guide (not Chris) had broken English and struggled with questions but followed up. Port was very sweet and tiny pours; overall worth it for the setting. #3 Lunch at a local restaurant – Would’ve loved for Chris to join lunch and share more about the food—if it’s company policy, it’s worth reconsidering. The family-style meal was authentic and delicious, with a pescatarian option for myself. White/Red wine offered family style, which was a great addition. #4 Boat ride – This is why I gave the tour a 4. There were no instructions or commentary during the ride—our supposed boat guide just chatted with the driver. Chris spoke with them after, but it felt like a missed opportunity to learn. It was also very hot, and a cold drink (wine or water) would’ve made a big difference—especially on a tour of over $140+ #5 Small Winery + Olive Oil – Our final stop was a family-owned winery and olive oil producer, showcasing traditional methods. The wines were much better here, though the tasting felt a bit rushed as the host focused more on the group before us. Small pours, and it would've been nice to enjoy a glass during the tour. Fun to see how olive oil was made and to sample it too.
