Good day to get out of Porto with a friend or more - The driver Rui Borges was very good and the guide Pedro Costa was also very nice. The lunch had much to be desired though. The wine tasting was good but the views from the bus and the boat were awesome. The wine also helped.

Totally awesome beautiful tour! - The views are so amazing! We took so many photos! The wine tasting was spectacular. Lunch was just magnificent. And the best part of the trip was our lovely guide Miguel. He knew what he was talking about. Very well educated and very passionate about the topics he was covering. He brought the fun for sure! I’ll definitely look into another excursion the next time I’m in Portugal!

An excellent day trip from Porto - stunning views, friendly knowledgeable guide and good food. - Wonderful day - definitely worth the money! Hanae was a wonderful tour guide; she was knowledgeable and funny and gave us exactly the right amount of information (not so much that it was overwhelming, but enough to mean we left with a good understanding of the Douro Valley and it's rich, fascinating history of wine production.) There are lots of different guides and bus drivers and from the reviews I've read it seems that some are better than others. We clearly had the best! The bus was pleasant - spacious with air conditioning and USB ports above the seats for charging devices (bring a long cable with you). Our driver was an excellent, safe driver. We stopped for one wine tasting (3 small glasses) with a very amusing and knowledgeable wine expert. We discovered a lot about the different ports and port wines from the region. The views were absolutrly phenomenal - definitely the best part of the trip and so worth the coach journey. Lunch was tasty - traditional beef with vegetables and a delicious dessert (chocolate and caramel cheesecake). Vegan and veggie options were available. The boat trip was nice - 55 pleasant minutes. You can buy drinks on the boat and there is a toilet. No commentary, but it was more about the views. Overall, a great day out. Be aware that you end the trip about 5 minutes from where you start (this was communicated very clearly both before and during the trip). This is because three is a congestion charge in the city from 8am onwards (which is why you start at 7.30am).
