  • 432 reviews | 4,513 travellers
    The tour was simply excellent! From the beginning, everything was very well organized and enjoyable. The driver, Bruno, drove with great attention and safety, which put us at ease throughout the journey. The guide, José, is extremely charismatic and attentive. Throughout the tour, he pointed out the main points of interest, clearly explaining the historical and cultural aspects of each place visited. Even though we were in a predominantly English-speaking group, José was kind and attentive.

Tour Details

After meeting along the Vandoma Sidewalk, we'll make our way eastwards, towards the Douro wine-producing region.

The first stop is in Pinhão, a small Portuguese located on the confluence of the Douro and Tedo rivers and home to a large number of wineries. Here, we'll enjoy the region's star product: wine. As well as the wine, we'll also be treated to a delicious traditional lunch of Portuguese delicacies. So that you can fully enjoy this traditional lunch, please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary requirements.

After eating, we'll embark on a relaxing cruise along the river, enjoying the spectacular views of the valley, before heading to one of the region's most important wineries where you'll taste fine Port wines.

Finally, we'll say goodbye at Rua de Alexandre Herculano after 10 hours in total.
