5 stars for this day trip!! - This was a fantastic day trip from Porto all around…from the communication beforehand all the way to the moment we were dropped off and everything in between. Eduardo was our guide and he and the van were awaiting us just outside our AirBNB at the appointed time. He was affable, engaging and knowledgeable. He made an effort to connect the members of the group right away (we were 8 total; our family of parents/adult kids made up 4 of those). Eduardo offered interesting and wry commentary the whole ride out to the Douro Valley countryside. We stopped in the lovely village of Amarante for a visit to a church and a coffee on the way. Then a winery tour and tasting, then lunch in the picturesque town of Pinao, followed by an hour cruise on the Douro in a traditional boat. Finally one more winery tasting/tour before heading back to Porto. Highly recommend this outfit for a day trip to the Douro Valley, since it eliminates all your stress and worries. They handle transport, book the winery visits, cruise, and lunch reservation. No need to worry about a thing—it’s all taken care of. Thank you Eduardo for taking such great care of us and showing us this beautiful part of your country!

Great trip - Eduardo was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and extremely nice. The whole day was a terrific experience. Pastries on our morning ride into the valley were a good start in a scenic town. Both wineries were welcoming and knowledgeable. The boat ride was so scenic, and the slight breeze felt good. The lunch was a nice meal of seafood and meat. Tasty!

A very authentic wine experience. - Pedro is so knowledgeable about the Douro valley wine business. I have been to wine regions in many countries and this was the best to date. Just two vineyards so not rushed. Lots of time to really experience the wine making business. And of course to sample the wines and the port. Generous pours. Appreciate that this tour is supporting small family run businesses. As a plus, we had nice weather for the boat cruise which was included and more local wine was served with lunch so actually 3 wine tastings are part of this tour. This is not an easy place to drive your own car so take the tour and safely enjoy the beautiful steeply terraced Douro Valley.

Great Douro Valley Day! - We had a wonderful day with Pedro as our guide. He was funny, knowledgeable and ensured that our small group was in good hands! We visited two family owned small wineries, had lunch at a local spot and enjoyed a river cruise. Highly recommend this company for a day in the beautiful Douro Valley!

Douro Valley wine tour. - The Douro Valley is simply stunning. Our guide, Eduardo, was knowledgeable, energetic, fun, and just always kept us moving forward. We made a couple of "non scheduled" stops that added so much to our experience. The trip included a boat tour up the Douro River, tastings at two vineyards, and a great lunch at a very nice little place by the river. And Eduardo made every attempt to get us to the most breathtaking views, which certainly did not disappoint. 11 out of 10 experience! Highly recommend!

The Best Guide - The tour was sensational, especially from the guide Eduardo, in addition to being very good people and funny, has a lot of knowledge about the place. We don't usually take a group walk, but this one surprised me, small group, without any delay. Super indicative and would do other tours, if I was with Eduardo as a guide. The Douro is beautiful.

A perfect day exploring the Douro Valley. - A small group is the way to go. It’s a bit of a drive but our guide, Eduardo, made the trip interesting and entertaining. He was super knowledgeable about the Douro Valley and points of interest along the way. We learned so much. He picked a great coffee stop in Amarante on our way to the valley. The wineries were beautiful. Enjoyed the olive tasting. Lunch had a traditional theme and was delicious. In spite of rain, the river boat ride was fun. Eduardo really delivered a memorable day.
