Perfect tour of the Douro Valley! - We had an amazing time on the Private Douro Valley Tour. Our guide, Enrique, was incredibly personable and knowledgeable, enhancing our experience with his insights. The visit to Quinta do Cume was a highlight, offering fabulous wines and an in-depth tour by the winemaker himself—one of the best winery tours I’ve ever had. The Douro river cruise was perfectly placed within the itinerary, providing a serene and picturesque break. Lunch at Vila Gale Douro Vineyards was delightful, accompanied by more excellent wines. Overall, this was a perfect tour and easily one of the best I’ve experienced anywhere. Highly recommended!

The perfect wine tour combination - Took a small group tour led by George on Sept 3rd. He was a very good tour guide who shared a lot of information. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the trip. The two wineries were a bit different but both equally good in their presentation. Lunch was in PinhĂ¢o. It was a very good meal with three types of meats. Two types of wine were provided and a small glass of Porto. Dessert was delicious. The boat tour was a good break between wine tastings. The meal was top on my list of meals in Portugal. If you are planning a tour in Douro, George is a great choice.

Highly Recommend - Unforgettable Experience - Douro Valley was incredible. We spent the day visiting wineries, taking a cruise & making new friends. We couldn’t of asked for a more beautiful day. Brahim was our driver and guide. He was amazing every step of the trip. We had our 3 year old with us and she loved Brahim. They provided a car seat and were extremely attentive to our needs. I highly recommend him and the Oporto Road Trips.
