Portugal · TRAIN EXPERIENCES
Every trip has one free day too few. These 6 train experiences justify the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes a minute rather than an evening.
Review of Porto’s city train, Real Companhia Velha port tasting, and Douro River cruise, with practical tips on timing, value, and what to expect.
“The activities were very fun and diverse; I would definitely recommend this experience to get a good taste of Porto! :)”
Review of Porto’s Douro Valley boat, train, lunch, and wine tour, with practical details on scenery, value, guides, weather, and timing.
“This was our FAVORITE part of our Porto trip, we cannot recommend this enough. The boat ride was truly out of a movie !!”
Ride Porto’s Magic Train, tour the historic Real Companhia Velha cellars, taste two Ports, and see the old city for $20.
“I loved the wine cellar tour and tasting! Didn't have much time to look around the grounds though. I wouldn't say the train was a tour, going back it's more of the shopping streets etc. (more for transportation to the wine cellar) Still highly recommend, great company!”
Review the $7 Vilamoura tourist train, with beaches, golf courses, Old Village, marina views, audio guide issues, and practical booking tips.
“O sistema de comunicação é sofrível. Não se percebe ( quase não se ouve) o que o guia diz. Perde a compreensão da história da cidade.”
Explore the Douro Valley by bus, train, and boat with lunch, wine tasting, Porto pickup, and dramatic vineyard views.
“What a magnificent day our family had with Vitor on this tour. We were treated like family throughout and given amazing memories on the Douro river. The children were enthralled by the train and river boat rides while the adults took in the views and some top wines. Lunch in Pinhão was a chef’s kiss to a day we won’t soon forget. Thank you Vitor!”
Review of Lisbon private airport, port, and Gare do Oriente transfers, with honest advice on price, timing, vehicles, and reliability.
“Easily booked and had confirmation of the booking. On the day they called to say the driver was early 45 minutes early and would wait 15 minutes so we gathered ourselves quickly. This then meant a longer wait at the airport. Otherwise it was uneventful.”
Pick a coast, a cellar or a palace.
