5.00My wife Karola and I took a tour of the Douro Valley on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. What a surprise it was to meet your wonderful guide Sara, who accompanied us throughout this magnificent day of visiting the Douro Valley and tasting Ports and wines. Sara provided all the explanations in French, and although we speak English, we greatly appreciated her commitment and kindness. Sometimes it is worth paying a little more for a luxurious tour; it was worth it.

5.00The arrangements and communication was excellent. Our driver/guide, Samual, was charming, knowledgeable and efficient. Everything about the tour was top notch. Three wine tastings at beautiful, historic wineries; the meals were delicious; the river cruise was enchanting; and the landscape and views were amazing.. The tour was a full eight hours but worth the commitment. W3 also made some new friends!

5.00Very interesting tour around the Douro region with our guide Samuel. We visited two separate vineyards - one privately owned organic wine company and one corporate. Each vineyard has their own guide to help us learn more about the wine. We learnt how the land is cultivated from our guide Samuel, who was very helpful and informative. Thanks for a brilliant day.
Fantastic experience …...
