The highlight of our visit to Porto - My son and I did the Duoro Valley 4x4 trip with Ana and it was the highlight of our trip to Porto. Ana is an excellent tour guide and an excellent driver and she really made this experience special. She stopped along the way to let us get the best pictures. She took us to a beautiful spot to eat a delicious lunch she had prepared. Then she took us to an amazing winery where we tasted outstanding wine. I highly recommend doing this tour with Ana. Her knowledge and passion really showed.

Friends For A Day in Douro Valley - My husband and I took our girls ages 14 and 11 on private trip in a 4x4 Landcruiser out to the Douro Valley led by our tour guide Ana. This is experience was THE best time we had during our trip to Porto & Lisbon. Ana’s attention to detail was outstanding and planned a perfect boat tour on the river, we had the most wonderful picnic lunch and the winery she selected was top notch…it literally felt like we had the whole valley to ourselves! It was truly like having a friend for the day take you around and show you the best sites without the crowds and in a way that ensures everyone has a good time, no matter their age. If you are fortunate enough to be able to do an experience like this we highly recommend it and request Ana!

Amazing wine country tour - Petitio took us from the hotel to the Douro wine country in a 4x4 on narrow winding country roads and trails with the most incredible views of vineyards, olive trees, moorish cemeteries and churches. We had a great picnic and ended the trip at an incredible winery/vineyard with a wine tasting of some great whites, ports and reds. Was a wonderful ending to an incredible trip to Portugal! Would 10/10 recommend this one!

Trip with A Friend - My husband and I took this trip in June 2024 as part of our first visit to Porto. Ana, our guide, was beyond anything I could have ever wanted or expected. She was knowledgeable about everything in the area and made us feel like we were on a trip with an old friend. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and Ana to anyone I know visiting Porto

Wonderful day out with the added bonus of off-roading! - Fantastic day out! Ana, our guide, was brilliant - a great driver (especially the off-road bits!), very personable, knowledgeable and professional. The boat trip from Pinhão was lovely - a relaxing way to start the tour. The off-roading was incredible and something that wouldn't be achievable without being on a tour such as this. The vineyard we were taken to was fabulous - a small place where personality and quality are key. We had a fabulous picnic - simply delicious food in the most amazing location. Little touches like a table cloth on the table, a bag of cherries and local food were delicious. All in all a fantastic day out. Thanks Ana! We'll use and recommend Detours again, without doubt.

Fabulous Day Trip - Unsure of how to visit the Douro valley on a limited schedule? Do not worry, this tour has you taken care of… From the vistas, backroads, phenomenal mountain top lunch to a great in depth winery visit, you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommended - If you only have time to complete one tour in Porto - please do this one. From booking until the end of the experience, the service was exemplary. Ana was outstanding and a brilliant guide.

Absolutely wonderful - Many thanks to Ana our extraordinary guide, she put us at ease at the start, she was so helpful in finding our backpack forgotten on a train. Absolutely wonderful as a hike. Cruise, 4x4, visit to a vineyard of rare beauty, to do and do again. Once again many thanks
