This will be the highlight of your Portugal Trip - We did a private jeep tour in the Duoro Valley yesterday. Our guide was Miguel, and he was outstanding. He had just the right balance of giving us lots of interesting information without overdoing the "history lessons" and was a lot of fun to be with. It was like doing a trip with a friend with a great sense of humor who knows the area really well. The trip included plenty of stops to take pictures and Miguel was very flexible with the schedule and the itinerary. We had a wonderful picnic lunch in the middle. It was all very professionally organized and we had a sensational day. If you have one day to see the stunning Duoro Valley (and you shouldn't miss this incredible area) the it will definitely be a highlight of your trip. I highly recommend this private tour.

Douro Valley jeep tour with Pedro is a must! - Pedro( our guide) was fantastic. The moment he met us at the hotel we knew we were in great hands. It was one of the best tours we’ve done. Visiting the Douro Valley on this tour is a must. Getting to see the vineyards from many perspectives and learn about the wines and port in the region was such a treat. The picnic that we had was one of the best meals we’ve eaten and prepared by a local woman owned business. We loved hanging out with Pedro for the day. I cannot say enough great things about this tour and Pedro.

Avoid the masses - Rather than join the masses for a generic trip to Duoro, we opted for the 4x4 trip. Miguel was an excellent host and driver. He took us on a great ride, with stops for the view and pics. We used the 4x4 going up of the hills, and we were on the edge of steep drops at points in the narrow road. An amazing picnic lunch with a beautiful view. Finally, a personal port and wine tasting at Quinta Seara d'Ordens. It was great talking with Miguel throughout the trip. Very memorable!!

Magical Experience - My cousin and I had the most amazing experience with Miriam during our 4x4 wine tour. Miriam went out of her way to accommodate us with the best customer service. We had a magical experience that we will remember for years to come! Views are breathtaking, lunch was fantastic, and the winery was outstanding. But I think our most favorite part was Learning the history of Porto from our guide Miriam. Do yourself a favor and book this trip. Well worth the time and money!

Best tour - highly highly recommend! Miriam was the absolute best! - This tour was amazing! We had the privilege of having Miriam as our tour guide and she made the trip even more memorable. She was so kind showing us all the amazing things the local culture has to offer. The views during the tour were absolutely breathtaking! The wine tasting was so much fun and absolutely delicious. This was a day my cousin and I will never forget and Miriam made it even more special. I would highly recommend this tour and Miriam has your guide.
