Worth the cost. - Our guide Chris was knowledgeable, polite and organised. His commentary was most helpful about historical matters, wine and food matters and Portugal today. The river cruise was short and not very memorable but overall the other facets merited a 5 star rating.

Magical day in Douro Valley!! - Our tour guide Joaa Jesus really made our day trip to the Douro Vallet very special. He is a great guide who is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and goes out is his way to make sure that we had a special day. We had a leisurely and relaxing day, the whole day was very well paced and we were never rushed. I want to thank him for sharing his love of his beautiful country with us he made the day very special. Not only was he a great guide, but we consider him a friend. Obrigada!!

Great trip! - The trip to Douro Valley takes a full day to experience. There were six passengers in our van and our drivers name was Alex. He did a good job of informing us what we were going to see and also included local history. We stopped at both a Port producer and a winery and had presentations and tastings at both places. The river boat ride was also fun and opportunity to relax and take many scenic pictures. We also had a lovely lunch during our day - the food was delicious. I was very impressed with Alex’s driving skills- many S turns and driving up and down mountain roads to get to and from our many stops.

Awesome tour to Amarante and the Douro Valley - I don’t book many tours when I travel, usually preferring to figure things on my own, but I can say this recent small group guided tour of the Douro Valley was the highlight of my week long trip to Porto and I'd book it again. Our guide Jorge was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the Douro Valley, Porto, and surrounding area. I was impressed by the quality of this tour and the places that we stopped along the way—and how much Jorge enhanced the experience. This tour had a great itinerary and I was thankful not to be on a bus with 30 people. We visited interesting locations and gained so many new experiences. It was a perfect day trip from Porto. Jorge was an excellent guide and even gave us excellent recommendations for things to see and places to eat during our last few days in Porto. If you’re thinking about a day trip to the Douro valley then definitely consider this tour.
