If you are looking for a small group tour, this is it! João was our driver/guide and he was so knowledgeable, personable, and down to earth. The vineyards we visited were unique and steeped in history - and the wines and food were amazing. The boat ride was the cherry on top, with more snacks and drinks offered. A truly unforgettable experience and one of the best ways to see the beautiful Duoro Valley.

What a fabulous day! Leo was a great guide and all around super nice guy. He set the tone having everyone share enough about themselves to make us all feel like friends - even those of us who “don’t like people.” Our first winery, Quinta Avidagos (sp?) was beautiful, and our host Pedro gave us a great tour and thorough explanation of harvesting and the wine making process. We tasted 3 amazing wines - a white, a rose and a red. The flavors are so pure - no preservatives - and just yummy. Then we had a relaxing and beautiful ride in their private solar powered boat - just our group, not on a massive boat with tons of people. There we had white port tonics which were very refreshing, and delicious snacks, which were enough to be a meal. The views were incredible. Then back in the van with Leo to a viewpoint then on to lunch at another winery. The food was home prepared, and we tasted at least 5 wines (we lost count), a combination of table wines & port. Both the family members and Leo served us, then we had time to look around their home and land. Lastly we had an enjoyable ride back to Porto with Leo sharing more about the countryside, Porto and Portugal. It was one of the best experiences of our trip. Recommend very highly - it’s a wonderful way to understand Portugal’s wine and culture.

The most memorable parts of our wine country tour was the beautiful scenery we enjoyed. We had a wonderful tour guide , Rita, who was an excellent driver. Since she was a native of the area, she had many interesting stories to tell. We enjoyed the fact that the wineries we visited were smaller and more intimate. The people on our tour were friendly.

The trip was phenomenal. Our guide (Leonardo) was so knowledgeable, passionate, and personable. He was intentional about showing us experiences that are a bit "off the beaten path" which made the whole experience less "touristy" and much more culturally fulfilling. The lunch was an incredible home-cooked meal at a location with regional significance and rich history. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for an immersive day in the valley.

This tour was easily the highlight of our first trip to Portugal! The Douro Valley is breathtaking and it was such a fabulous day learning about the region and wine making process, visiting family-owned wineries, a peaceful boat ride down the river, and eating delicious food and drinking superb wine throughout the day. José is an engaging, informative, and wonderful host with a ton of great dad jokes to keep the laughter flowing! The tour was well-organized, perfectly curated, intimate, and about as far removed as you can get from the large commercialized tours that tend to exploit a region rather than support it. It was such a fantastic day that I debated booking the same tour again on another day the following week! Don’t hesitate, book this tour!
