  This is one of the best experiences I’ve had in Portugal. Nuno was our guide and was absolutely wonderful. He grew up in this area and has so much knowledge about the history, landscape, and current state of affairs. We learned so much and saw areas we would bet have access to on our own. Lunch was delicious and his meal recommendations were spot on. Highly recommend, and will specifically request Nuno if I am back in this region.

• Exciting way to see Douro from many angles.

  This was probably the best day we had in Portugal! The off roading on narrow old streets was super fun, the scenery was gorgeous. We learned a lot about Douro, the wine, and even about Portugal itself. We tasted many wines and had delicious food. Our guide, Vasco was wonderful. Highly recommend this tour.

• Take this tour!

  This is the absolutely best way to spend a day in Douro Valley. This is my second time taking this tour and both times with Vasco and he is amazing! The sites, the stories, the food, and of course, the wine all made for an absolutely fantastic day. Well worth it, and you won’t regret it.

  This was an amazing day guided by Joao & Vasco. Not for the faint hearted - but such fun! Organised & executed to perfection - we felt completely at ease during the boat trip (fab), the 4x4 travel on unmetaled tracks and a wonderful waterside Portuguese lunch in the middle of the day. The afternoon wine tour of the Cooperative was definitely best of the 3 we have done - Maria was so knowledgeable.

• The Spectacular Douro Tour - Our Point of View

  My wife and I had a spectacular time on this private tour of the Douro Valley Region. I say "spectacular" for a multitude of reasons. First, the many-angled views of the vineyards, river and mountains were stunning. We covered many miles of hidden and back-land routes offering a perspective not seen by many. Second, our guide Nuno was very knowledgeable, engaging and responsible. His attention was on us (and the narrow roadways, of course) throughout the day. He provided interesting and personalized stories for all of the sites and stops we visited along the way. Next, our lunch was incredible, including a variety of fish, meats, cheeses and vegetables. The portions were more than we could eat and the entire meal was served in a beautiful venue along the river. The wine production tour and tasting added a wonderful ending to our day. We skipped the mid-day river cruise as we had taken a similar cruise earlier in the week. Nuno was extremely flexible extending our tour to include other sites instead. If booking this tour, be sure to ask for Nuno. He added so much to the experience. Terry

  

  

  

  

• A Day to Treasure!

  Wow!!! What an amazing day we had with Nuno Rodrigues of Grapeland Adventure and Tourism on the 4x4 Off Beaten Track excursion through the cliff side vineyards of the Douro Valley. It was a surreal day, sailing on the Douro, winding through the amazing valleys, climbing dirt paths in our 4x4 to the tops of the majestic vineyards. Nuno was a joy to spend the day with!! We shared a special lunch at a local restaurant , visited his village bakery and loved learning all about the proud history and culture of his homeland, and got stunning photographs! It was a perfect day!! A heartfelt thank you Nuno! It was a magical day!

  This was a truly amazing day — the highlight of our trip to the Douro Valley! Nuno was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide and we really felt like we got an authentic experience spending the day with him. He brought the best vibes and we truly had a blast. He even picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, which was incredibly convenient! Driving around in the 4x4 was also much better than a traditional van! Don’t hesitate to book this tour :)

• Did not live up to our expectations and would not recommend

  I was concerned about taking this tour because the forecast was for extreme heat. I reached out to the company and was assured that the vehicle was air-conditioned, that the boat would have shade and that they prioritize guest comfort. The trip began with an hour boat ride on the Duoro River. The boat was one of the tour boats at the docks and was not a private boat ride, as we had expected. So there were a few other groups on our boat and another tour guide who was also informing his group about the region. Pleasant, but not what we expected. The 4x4 was an old (1995) Land Rover with barely functioning air conditioning. So, given that the temperature ranged from 89 F in the morning to 104 F in the afternoon, the time in the jeep was not comfortable. We enjoyed the scenery - and the jeep was able to climb to heights a typical car would not easily reach - but the discomfort of the ride was distracting. The lunch far exceeded expectations. We had one of the best roast pork dishes during our stay in Portugal in the lovely restaurant, Calca Curta, in Foz Tua. The "wine tasting" was another disappointment. The winery we visited in Favaios was a muscatel producer. It was an interesting tour (though again, it was so hot in the outdoor parts of the tour, it was difficult to enjoy) however we were offered only 2 tastings: a muscatel aperitif variety and a muscatel dessert variety. Both were good, but had I known the wine tasting would consist solely of 2 sweet wines, no whites, reds or roses, I would not have booked this tour.
