Fantastic day trip from Porto - A fantastic trip with a particularly brilliant guide. Sara was so well informed and so good at setting the energy for everyone- not too much, and not too little, just perfect. She knew so so much and was so great at sharing her love of this area and of the methods of development of the wines of this region. We learned so much from her!

Brilliant tour, so much fun - Had the most brilliant tour on this trip! We ended up being in a group of 8 in an 8-seat car with the most brilliant guide, Vitor. He was so much fun and incredibly informative about the Douro valley area and all around and truly made the entire trip. The first winery was very informative about the different wines and ports sampled and a beautiful viewpoint. The boat tour was good- we realised part-way through there is an audioguide accessible through QR codes. We then went to another winery for a 3-course meal (could chose from 3 dishes, and was vegetarian friendly) and chance to explore the grounds before a really great session learning about some of their older ports there. Overall this was a brilliant trip to a beautiful part of the country with a great guide. I would recommend this to anyone!

Chock Full of Wine, Port, Views, and Information - This day trip is well worth the excursion from Porto - not just for the gorgeous views and tasty wines & ports (which are a given in the Douro), but especially for eFun's incredibly knowledgeable tour guide, who teaches you about the different wine regions and styles of Portugal, the history of Porto, the Douro, and the country, and recommended foods and restaurants to try. It's a roomy van that fits 8 guests (2 seats up front with the driver, with 3 seats in the middle and 3 seats in the back). Note that the roads have quite a few twists and turns, but our tour guide was so considerate of making sure we were feeling ok. The whole group stays together the entire tour, except for about one hour when the group that chose the 3 Vineyard tour goes off to the third winery while the 2 Vineyard + Rivercruise tour gets on the boat. Personally, I really enjoyed breaking up my day with the river cruise, because you already get quite a bit of wine (both dry table wine, and sweet port wines) at the two wineries without going to the third winery, and also because the views of the terraces while on the water are breathtaking - it almost felt like you were living in a painting. They also serve wine and port on the boat for purchase, for those that want to keep the buzz going. The wineries themselves were thoughtfully selected. We were able to try both dry table wines (white, rose, and red) as well as ports (ruby, tawny, and vintage!), so you get quite a broad introduction to everything the Douro region does. One winery combined a wine tasting with lunch; it was cool pairing a port with our dessert. The two wineries we went to were small family owned wineries; the third winery that the 3 Winery/Vineyard tour went to was a bigger brand. One winery was able to ship out orders to the U.S. (shipping wasn't cheap but included duties and still was probably cheaper than if you could purchase the same product at a retailer in the States). Before signing off, I must commend our tour guide, Pedro. It is obvious he is passionate about the Douro, Portugal, and his job - his energy was infectious and he was practically a walking encyclopedia when we asked him questions about port & wine making, Portugal's wine regions and history, and just general recommendations on what to do in Porto. He was very friendly and considerate and I would definitely recommend him to anyone for a tour in the Douro.

Personable Tour - Enjoyable tour. Beautiful scenery and tasty port and wine. Our guide Vitor was a fountain of information that brought the tour to life. He gave us lots of tips for our stay in Porto. Highly recommend this.

The most amazing tour of the Douro Valley and River you can imagine. - This tour was absolutely fabulous!!! Pedro and Victor were the most amazing hosts and guides possible, full of history, insights, cultural context, and recommendations. We were 8 people snug in a Mercedes minibus, which was tremendous for getting to know each other and having fun conversations. The first tour of a wine and port house was fantastic. We chose the lovely, serene boat tour from Pinhao, while others chose a second winery. We joined them there after the boat trip and the scenery from the pinnacle was almost un real it was so gorgeous. Lunch was also good with an incredible presentation by Joao. Pedro and Victor made everything unique and lovable. You must select this tour! No regrets.
