Review of Porto’s Douro Valley day tour with river cruise, wine tastings, traditional lunch, scenic drives, and practical booking tips.
“Our day tour was fantastic! Our guide, “Jesus,” was incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide.

“Cannot say enough about Bernardo and this tour! The weather was not cooperative, so we weren’t able to do the boat portion, but honestly it didn’t matter it was so great ( and they added another winery to make up for it!). We learned so much about wine and how to drink it. It was really quite informative. The day ended with an amazing dinner and great conversation. I can’t say enough about Betnardo-he was very informative and really gave us a view into the non tourist life in Portugal. Everyone we came into contact with that day were very kind and welcoming. Our favorite part of our trip to…”

See Porto’s landmarks by electric tuk-tuk, then cruise beneath six Douro bridges with a flexible, affordable tour.
“The meeting point was just across the road from the Sao Bento metro which was a bonus. Checked in and waited outside. We thought the tuk tuk would come to us but we had to walk a little way to get it. The vehicle was clean and seated us comfortably and we could not believe the speed they went. Our driver Joao (John) was really lovely. He was witty too which made for a fun trip.
