Wonderful Pedro! - Our tour of the Douro Valley was absolutely magical—one of the highlights of our entire trip to Portugal! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, relaxed, and full of genuine charm.
Our guide, Pedro, was simply outstanding. Warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about the region, they made the entire experience feel personal and meaningful. Throughout the day, we learned about the history of the valley, the winemaking traditions, and the unique culture that makes this region so special. Pedro struck the perfect balance sharing fascinating insights and giving us time to simply take in the stunning scenery.
The tour included visits to a few carefully chosen wineries—each with its own character and story. The tastings were generous and delicious, and we had the chance to meet local winemakers who clearly take great pride in their craft. Lunch at a family-run estate overlooking the river was another highlight: fresh, authentic Portuguese dishes paired with incredible wines and breathtaking views.
The drive through the valley was mesmerizing, with endless terraces of vines cascading down to the Douro River. We stopped at several viewpoints, and every one looked like it came straight out of a postcard.
Overall, this tour exceeded every expectation. If you’re visiting Portugal, don’t miss the Douro Valley, with this group leading the Iway!

Heaven on Earth - A truly memorable day in a stunning part of the world on a beautiful sunny day. Our fabulous guide was Andrea. Chirpy, knowledgeable and great company. Three contrasting wineries in settings you just have to see. Photo’s don’t do the Douro Valley landscape justice. 100% recommended. Jon and Alison

Amazing way to spend a day! - This was well worth the time and money. The guide, Pedro, was wonderful. He was laid back, full of information and trivia, and ensured we were well taken care of. He went out of his way to take photos, show us great sights, avoid large groups, and in general treat us like visiting family. The wineries we toured were all quaint and personable. Not the usual large tour sites.

A wonderful, comfortable day with Pedro - I would highly recommend taking a day trip with Pedro, he was such a welcoming and affable personality. The tour he has curated feels very special and shows all the Duoro valley has to offer. His effortless chat brought the tour to life and we all laughed a lot throughout the day. Extremely grateful to him for making our day so enjoyable. We tried some of the tastiest port I've ever had on this trip!
