Perfect day in the Douro Valley - We had an amazing private tour of the Douro Valley with Luis. He was so much fun and had great energy for a day of wine touring. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and was excellent about checking on us and making sure we were comfortable.
The three wineries were an ideal mix- the first had a beautiful view and a tour showing old olive oil and wine making equipment; the second was a large winery with also a lovely river view and very high quality wines and port; the last was our favorite with an unforgettable tour by the owner and an exceptional tasting and tapas board. The views on the tour day were unreal and we got some lovely photos.
Thank you Luis for a beautiful day!

A must book with Pedro! - We booked a private tour where we visited three wineries and Pedro was our guide for the day. We had an awesome time and recommend this experience to anyone wanting to explore the beauty of the Douro Valley. Request Pedro if you can!! Unfortunately we didn’t see the sun on our trip and it rained pretty heavy at times, but Pedro made sure we had a great time. Each of the wineries offered us something unique. We learned a lot and tasted some amazing wine and port. We had so much fun with Pedro and genuinely enjoyed the drive to and from the Valley, just getting to know him and the region. Even though it was just the two of us, he was so kind to wear a mic because I can’t hear well in cars. We also had lunch the three of us and it was so much fun (plus, great food). We also appreciated how Pedro offered recommendations for things to do in Porto when we returned. All in all, the highlight of our Portugal trip!

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!
