A relaxing tour - I don't tend to book bus tours when I visit a new town or city, I'm more of an independent traveler, wishing to figure out my own itinerary as I go along. Given I was visiting Porto with my wife for a long weekend I decided to try the Douro Valley tour as it was so highly rated and seemed to offer quite a varied itinerary. Basically it's a combination of comfortable (air-conditioned) bus visit to a lovely historic town, lunch at a picturesque location, wine tasting at a local winery, river cruise and bus trip back via breathtaking scenery of the wine producing Douro region. It's a great package and very keenly priced as compared to other tours in the region. Our guide Juliana was informative and entertaining and our driver navigated the steep and winding roads in a controlled manner, particularly helpful with a belly full of food and local wine. I'd highly recommend this tour and rate it a five out of five

Super - Thank you very much to Joao and Trapo for this experience and this great day! I recommend this visit to everyone.

Incredible - Had an experience that I won't forget. Our guide Xavier was brilliant and attentive! He carefully has planned out the trip to ensure we all had a great time. Slowly built up the day after an early start to having us all singing kareoke in the afternoon! The music choice was iconic. Josí was a fantastic driver and always felt safe in his capable hands. He even made a little detour for a lovely picture I would highly recommend this experience, the valley is incredibly beautiful and the people we met made the tour so much more special (the drinks definitely helped :))

Funny 😀 - A perfect excursion! Xavier and José made everything very enjoyable and fun, we did wine tasting and enjoyed the views of the vineyards

Excellent - Excellent experience, highly recommended. We will definitely repeat, Javier and José are wonderful! Thank you so much for everything

Genial - We had a great time, the fantastic, cheerful and dynamic Guide totally recommended. Thank you very much Xavier (Guide) and Jose (Driver)

Excellent experience - Our host Xavier (only working his second week as a host) was excellent. He kept a long 9 hour day bouncing along. Good frequent stops, helpful advice, coach sing-a-long kept everyone smiling. Top bloke! Good driver in Jose

Very beautiful tour - I went on this tour solo and enjoyed it for the most part. About a hour into the tour we made a stop in Amarante to learn some history and were given only 20 minutes for free time. I used this time to find a restroom and when I returned to the meeting point just 2 minutes late, I found that the tour had already left. Thankfully one of the other guests on the tour noticed I was not on the van so they turned around and came back but I have to say that I have never been on a tour that did not take attendance. I was told they did a head count but clearly they miscounted and as a solo traveler that is a bit concerning. For the future I would suggest taking attendance by name to avoid this happening again. The van is comfortable but the air conditioning was not very strong and it was the middle of July with over 100F so the ride was quite warm. It does get very hot in the Douro Valley so keep that in mind if you’re going during summer. Also, the drive up and down the mountain is very winding and the driver was going pretty quickly so I started to feel a bit nauseous at one point. If you’re prone to motion sickness id probably keep Dramamine on hand. For lunch I got the vegetarian option which was a pasta and it was ok. The views are incredible and the boat ride was beautiful, however, there was no commentary at all for the whole ride, our guide wasn’t even on the boat. It would have been nice to hear more history about the river and the area etc. The winery was nice, but we did not really take a tour since it was so hot, again something to keep in mind if you go during summer. The tastings were very good, we tried a white and 2 reds and I enjoyed all of them. Overall, it wasn’t a bad tour but there is definitely room for improvement.

Breathtaking views and experience! - Our tour guide Ivo was very nice and funny, absolutely beautiful trip with a lit of information and learning. Stunning views and vines... absolutely worth it!

Beautiful region, the worst lunch - The tour guide Jose f and driver Maykel were excellent! And the Duoro Valley is a beautiful and unique experience. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the lunch was TERRIBLE. It was tasteless, served in a dreary restaurant by grumpy staff. It is honestly one of the worst meals I've had!
