Douro Valley Wine Tour - We had an amazing Douro Valley and Wine Tour with the Yellow Bus company. Our tour guide Anabela was so knowledgeable provided interesting facts along the way - so much more than you would expect on a tour. The scenery was spectacular, lunch and wine tasting perfect and all together a memorable experience.

Great Introduction to the Douro Valley - Fantastic tour. Great mix of scenic driving, a river cruise, old churches, delicious food, and a wine tour. Very impressed with how much they could fit into one day. The open-roof bus was the icing on the cake. Very good value.

Excellent Tour - Could Not Have Been Better! - Such a great tour. Excellent customer service from start to finish. Lovely modern, clean bus (part of the tour the roof of the bus is drawn back so it’s open top which is quite fun). Anna our guide was lovely - very patient, informative but above all very kind and thoughtful. Great attractions to view enroute and a stop at Amarante to view the splendid Catholic Church, Igreja de São Gonçalo. A delicious lunch with water and wine plus panaramic views at Miradouro São Leonardo De Galafura. A highlight of the trip! The boat trip along the river from Pinhao was very relaxing, informative and enjoyable. Excellent quality visit to the Kopke vineyard with a tour and wine tasting. Thanks to Manwell too for his driving.

Great tour - We booked our tour a few days before as the weather was hit and miss. But the day of our tour, it was just eight of us plus our guide and driver. So the tour was splendid as Annabelle was just great and Nono (I think that’s how to spell his name,:sorry if it’s wrong) were great answering questions and enjoying a meal with us.

Recommend this tour to see a lot in a short time - Great trip! Easy access to the bus, lots of shops with the yellow bus flags to ask questions The only downside is booking the boat cruise can only be done the same day, and there is always a long line to book it
