Authentic Douro Valley wine tasting and lunch tour - Andre was our tour guide today and we had a great time. He had fun facts to help fill the time on our way up to the valley and was very friendly. The stops we made were in the very pretty picturesque village of Amarante and two small wineries (one also produces olive oil). We’d never have been able to find them on our own and we wouldn’t have wanted to negotiate those windy curvy roads to get up there. Lunch was delicious, the company was wonderful and the valley is beautiful, I’d highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommended personal guide tour - Me and my husband had João as a guide on July 25 2022 and we’re were very pleased with the whole experience. The guide who drove us, were very professional and had high knowledge about the district, the wines and the country. The pace was really nice, we’d time to really soak in the wineries and the enviroment of the Douro valley. Perfect with a chauffeur if you want to get a little boozed from the wine tasting and lunch. The roads are really tricky so I’d recommend have some else drive you if you’re not custom to steep, narrow European roads.

Douro was a delightful day trip with a great guide - So glad we added this day trip at the last minute! My friend and I had very limited time, plus I do a lot of wine tastings coming from California. I was questioning whether a trip to Douro was worth it, vs. more time in Porto or the beach. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about wine. He took us to a lovely lunch and visit to a small town. We loved the wine, the views, the people, all of it.

Must do! - This was a very special day! The information provided by the guide was the right amount of information without being overwhelming. The wineries and drive were stunning. The pace didn’t feel rushed or too slow. It made for a memorable experience in Douro Valley and I would highly recommend.

DO NOT BOOK - I booked a tour through Viator and they accepted my reservation even though they had no more room for my booking. I asked for a refund and it still has not been provided to me. Instead, they are asking me to cancel which would lead me to me paying the full price of the booking when they are the one's who aren't able to accomodate. Would not recommend, and I was in communication with Sara Pereira from their company.
