The Very Best Way to Spend a Day in Peso de Regua on the Douro River! - My husband and I had limited time in the Duoro Region, and chose to spend it in Peso da Regua, a former hub for transporting wine on to Porto. To get the most out of our time, we took the suggestion of our Hotel, and booked a private tour with DeltaTur (https://www.deltatur.pt/) as they had a tour which was perfect for us! We were picked up at our Hotel in a late model Mercedes, driven by our wonderful guide Antonio. First stop, after a drive quite high in the hills, along mostly quaint cobblestone roads, we arrived at a Winery for a wine tasting (3 wines and a port), and a tour of the old, prior, olive oil production facility, and then a tasting of their excellent olive oils. Next stop was to the train station where we rode to the next town, Pinhao, in vintage coaches where the windows went down allowing unobstructed view of the breath-taking scenery. We returned to Regua via a private boat owned by DeltaTur, along with only 6 others (with another DeltaTur guide), so it was still very private. The boat ride was amazing...there are not enough superlatives to describe the beautiful scenery! After returning to Regua, we had lunch in a picture-perfect restaurant situated at a bend in the river, for yet another great view. Throughout all of this, our tour guide Antonio was great - informative, attentive and very helpful. The other staff of DeltaTur were also friendly and helpful, giving the impression that they were very happy in their jobs. This was truly a first class experience, which we heartily recommend!! Thanks again Antonio!

Best Private Tour of Porto and Douro Valley! - Antonio was PERFECT! From his very nice Mercedes to his excellent driving skills to his knowledge of the area and everything in between. We felt like he could have been one of our friends for the day. He went above and beyond the whole time and did it with a constant smile. He’s genuine hospitality.

Douro Valley Daytrip from Porto - Great daytrip from Porto to Douro River Valley. Antonio Cardoso was incredible driver and guide, charming and fun! Easy pick up and return at our hotel in spotless Mercedes and full of stops with vineyard tasting/tour, nice riverside train trip for lovely lunch overlooking the Douro, and thrn boat ride back to car. Antonio even took us for quick detour to beautiful and historic Amarante with it Renaissance church and monastery. I highly recommend 👌

Great day on the Douro - Wonderful day in a small group, which added to the experience, and a fantastic enormous lunch with plenty of local wine. The boat and train rides were both leisurely and scenic, plus the winery fare at Quinta do Tedo was excellent. But most important was the guide, Gonçalo, who was just wonderful in both French and English, covering all the local information and going out of his way to help us return to our hotel.

Two words: to do! - We spent a wonderful day in the company of Gonçalo, who was a perfect guide and as you can dream of having. He is passionate about his region and explained a lot to us, he took the time to stop for breathtaking views! In short, we felt like we were spending the day with a friend! We recommend this tour.

An absolutely sensational day !! - Just a brilliant day. Antonio picked us from the hotel and after gathering the others we had a very comfortable trip to Pinhao - quick coffee and onto the boat up river. Very comfortable and an ideal way to see the river and vineyards. Off the boat and a short walk to the fabulous restaurant at Tua - a great range of fabulous food and wine !! The train ride back to Pinhao then followed by a visit to a winery with sensational views The back to Porto - a fabulous day!! Antonio was excellent - great knowledge, no trouble for extra time or information HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ✅✅

Don’t miss this! - Antonio was knowledgeable and a delight. He made sure the lunch proprietor got our group a table with a view. Winery tour was even better than anticipated. Bubbly on the boat a nice touch, and the crew (also lovely) was local to the region. You meet at a central pickup and are dropped off at your hotel. Note that this is on the long side of the 6-8 hours specified. I have already recommended to a friend!

Romantic, uncrowded and relaxed - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Duoro Valley. Even the drive out of Porto brought insight to this part. of Portugal. All of the staff we encountered were engaging and the restaurant was very tasty! We would do this trip again!

Amazing tour. Mixed view about the food. - I would have given this a 5-star rating if the food had a better option. With international guests from around the world who may not be accustomed to Portuguese food, other selection should be made available. My friends and I did not enjoy the food at all. Otherwise, everything else was TOP-NOTCHED. The guides, Ricardo, Diana, and Tiago were first class! They were friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable, & informative. The wine tasting was excellent, although I would have thought they'd be served with some crackers or a bit of cheese. All in all, the tour has exceeded our expectation! But please review your food menu.
