Enriching excursion - A great day
With exceptional panoramas of the Douro Valley visiting small villages above Pinaho and visits of very interesting producers.
A short boat tour to get another view of the valley.
A Guide, Jacinthe, very caring and very communicating.
Meetings from across the Atlantic (right Quebecers?).
In short, a day to do

Great tour - get tickets directly from Douro Tours - much cheaper! - This was a fun tour but you can purchase tickets for 40€ less per person from the tour company itself (they charge 95€ per person, and they sell the tickets on site). We were pretty annoyed that we paid so much more by going through Viator - shame on them! If it was just a few euros, no problem, but €40 more is rediculous.

Great. - An amazing day with a very friendly guide. The partners (farm and restaurant) were also very attentive. The booking process was a little complicated, but it ended up going well. This tour is the only one that has an alcohol-free option for non-drinkers: instead of tasting the Porto wine, we had an hour more cruise. Very good.

Great tour while staying in Pinhão! - Philip was an excellent tour guide. He is a local who knows the area very well and is passionate about the region. This tour had a great balance of driving, stops, and a boat ride. We started with a drive up the big hill of one side of the river to his hometown village where we stopped and he shared some history. From there we continued up and went around stopping at some stunning MiraDuoros along the way. We came back into town for a Port tour and tasting and then had lunch at a local restaurant. From there we went on one hour guided boat ride on the calm Duoro River. Afterwards, our last ride was up the hill from downtown to a winery for a tasting and tour. We ended at a stunning miraduoro with views of everywhere we traveled.
We stayed two nights in Pinhão without a car and this was the perfect day trip to get all you need in this region.
Although this tour was worth every euro, we were disappointed to find that tour is significantly marked up online. They offered the same tour for €40 less at the kiosk. Again, it was still worth it for a small guided tour!

Great experience! - Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the other staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful. The wine was awesome, and we loved the establishments we got to visit! We didn't realize we would be the only guests having lunch, and would have appreciated more flexibility in the lunch menu or an inquiry about dietary restrictions ahead of time. We did have a lot of fun on the tour and are very glad we went.
