A very memorable experience - The whole day was amazing and everywhere we looked was very beautiful. The tour operator was very responsive and helpful. Jorge, our tour guide/driver was great. He was engaging, funny, attentive and knowledgeable. We had so much fun and he took us to so many interesting places, in addition to the wineries. Lunch at a local restaurant was so delicious. We had chicken, fish, salad, rice, unlimited red/white wine, coffee and special DOURO DESSERT!! There was a line out the door during lunch time so you know that this is the place to go and the view from the restaurant was pretty great too. Totally recommend this tour. :)

Absolute must do - what a full, wonderful day!! - Just a terrific adventure in the Douro wine region!! Tune was an EXCELLENT and knowledgeable driver and tour guide. We first stopped for pastries and espresso etc. We then continued on to our first winery and had some delicious port and Douro DOC wines, along with a very educational tour and exceptional views through the entire trip. We then went on a delightful 1 hour river cruise. After the cruise we went and had lunch in a building that was once an elementary school. Food was unexpectedly nice for a tour lunch and included Muscat as a welcome drink, followed by both white and red bottles for the table. We then went to another winery in an absolutely stunning vineyard and sampled 3 more wines. Tuna made special efforts to stop at jaw dropping locations to allow us to take photos (and he graciously took ours for us). What a terrific day - I’m tired, full and my head is going over everything we did, saw, drank and ate. Highly recommend this tour and Tuna!!

The Duoro Valley is a Geological Poem! - If you are in Porto, go to the Duoro Valley! Oporto Road Trips was an excellent tour choice and you will not be disappointed. Our guide Joao was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and comical (he alone deserves a five star). In any event, the tour started with a convenient pick up near our accommodations and a comfortable ride to the Duoro Valley with a break for coffee/restrooms on the way. We stopped at beautiful lookouts to take photos and even got to see the famous 222 Highway. This tour was excellent value for money - you get a wine tasting (3 types of wine), a boat tour, lunch (with meat, fish, wine, dessert and coffee), a port wine tasting and a comfortable snooze on the way back with a safe driver.

A tour never to be missed❤️❤️❤️ - We had a fantastic tour of the day with our guide Pedro! It was raining at the start of our journey but Pedro was very positive about it. Two wineries and a wonderful lunch at a previous school which is now a restaurant was awesome.. Pedro was so knowledgable about the area. The drive was so smooth. The viewpoint were amazing!!!! At the end of the tour, i forgot my umbrella in the van. I messaged Pedro and dropped it off in our hotel reception the next day. What a service that go beyond ... Glad i booked this tour, not to mention it was the day before my birthday! My husband and I enjoyed it. More power ...
