For a great day out take a small group tour! - This tour was a great start to our holiday. Pedro is a very knowledgeable guide & a good driver. Travelling in a small group meant we had the opportunity to engage more with the people we met at the wineries & were soon enjoying each others company. Pedro’s enthusiasm & local knowledge enabled us to see the early stages of wine production - grapes straight from harvest & those which had been traditionally pressed, fermenting away! We had a tasty lunch in a small Restaurante Tipico which would not have been possible in a bigger group. It felt good our trip was supporting smaller enterprises & businesses directly.

No hesitation to book again with Oporto Road Trips - My husband and I loved Douro Valley so much we decided to book another day last minute. I'm so glad we did. Our driver and guide, Pedro, was fun and friendly - also very knowledgable. We didn't know any of the other couples, but by the end of the day we'd become fast friends. We opted for three wineries (skipped the boat ride because we did that the day before) and we enjoyed every moment of the entire tour. Thank you for a wonderful time, Pedro & company.

Good day tasting - Pedro was a very good host and we felt very confident in his driving. The tastings were in great and the day went very quickly even if we were out for nearly 12 hours

Fantastic Day Trip with 3 Wineries - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Porto! It was well organized and our guide, Pedro, was fun and knowledgeable, guiding our group in both English and Portuguese. We chose the 3 winery option rather than the boat tour and it was a seamless transition to a quiet winery for a near private tasting. I recommend to anyone interested it learning more about wine and the history of the region!

Well Worth the Money - Joo was a great tour guide. He did a great job driving in the rain and explaining everything to us. He was very patient and friendly. The Duoro Valley was gorgeous. Amazing views and good wine were very much enjoyed. We were a group of 8, and everyone was very friendly. We really lucked out. The wineries did a good job of explaining their processes. If you order a veggie meal, I would recommend remaining them in the morning. I was very pleased with the meal. They remembered to include a lot of veggie proteins. You may have to fight off some meat eaters from eating all your food. I'd definitely recommend this tour.

A trip through Portuguese wine country - Our tour went through three different wineries, a family run winery where we had three different wines, another larger property with two wines and a port, and a third with three different kinds of port. This tour was a great way to get more comfortable with Portuguese wines, especially port. I’ve had my share over the years, but I’m not as familiar with it as I am with other wines and it was very informative to listen to port talked about by someone much more knowledgeable than myself. Our tour guide on this day was Sandro. He’s very knowledgeable about the wine industry in Portugal, and during the time spent driving from place to place gave us a good perspective on the history of the Douro Valley region and how the industry has developed over the years. He absolutely added a different and valuable perspective to the tour.

Unforgettable Douro Valley Tour with Pedro – A Must-Do in Portugal! - Our day trip from Porto to the Douro Valley was unforgettable, thanks to Pedro, our knowledgeable and personable host. He kept the small group engaged and even made a special stop in a charming town for coffee, adding a personalized touch. The wineries offered delicious wines and stunning views, and the lunch was a highlight—delicious in a beautiful setting. Pedro’s passion for the region was clear, making the experience even more special. We highly recommend this tour and would book with Pedro again in a heartbeat. It was the best experience we had in Portugal!

Not what was represented. Long stretches in the van - If I were to rate this to our solely on our tour guide Luis I would rate it five star. He was witty, intelligent, honest, did a great job of coordinating the eight of us who were in the van. The van was relatively comfortable and his driving was excellent. However on rating the tour as a whole I am only giving it three stars for several reasons. First off was that the description claims that were to spend 20 minutes at Pinhao station, which as a train enthusiast was a big deal to me, and we did not. I literally had to run there and back to get a picture of the front without being given an opportunity to go in. Also the wineries that are mentioned in the description are not the wineries we want to, and I specifically researched the wineries before booking to see their ratings and have a better understanding of this tour compared to others. The wineries we went to were nice, but not what I would have chosen. I chose the 3 wineries option as opposed to 2 and a boat ride. The 3rd winery was merely sitting at a table for an hour sampling 3 wines. Fortunately I had fabulous company. Lastly was the fact that we spent such long stretches in the van. It is a drive from Porto, naturally, but we drove by many beautiful lookout points without stopping, and those from the wineries collectively were not in any way a great representation of the overall beauty there. Simply by extending this tour By another 30 to 40 minutes we could have easily stopped off 10 minutes at multiple overlooks, not only to stretch our legs and get us out of the van, but to truly see the beauty of the landscapes instead of through a window. Some people felt carsick with the winding roads, so if you are prone to that, you might want to bring bonine or dramamine. Lunch was great. Fabulous company. But I didn't feel the value for this tour was there. Disappointed overall. If I had to do it all over again. I would have chosen to take the historical train and stayed a night or 2.
