Lovely day out but a bit too long

4.00This was a great tour in the morning - a beautiful wine tasting & generous 4 course lunch on a farm high in the Douro Valley with exceptional views. A long day due to 2hr boat ride to Pinhao & an extra hr to look around the town not needed really
Charming Winery, Fabulous Lunch & Scenic Cruise

4.00We had such a wonderful day on this tour! The small-group setting made it feel personal and family-friendly. We visited a charming winery where we tasted five excellent wines, followed by a fabulous traditional lunch at a different estate (only lunch here but they also served wine — several refills and Port ) The highlight was the panoramic river cruise from Régua to Pinhão – absolutely beautiful and very convenient since the tour starts right in Régua (perfect if you’re staying there and not in Porto). The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, but not very chatty (probably as he had cold) and the minivan was comfortable for the group. Everything was well-organized and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic Douro Valley experience!
Superb day

5.00Unfortunately due to the power cut we were unable to continue the cruise. In less than a week we were refunded part of the cruise. Very responsive.
Cancelled - due to "lack of reservations" but nearly 2 weeks still to go!

1.00We will not get to go on our tour which is booked for 4 May. Cancelled yesterday 22 April - due to there not being enough reservations. I am incredibly disappointed that they will cancel so far in advance! We were offered a refund or an alternate date but are only in the area for the one Sunday.

5.00We left early on a beautiful day at the start of Autumn and were super impressed with the beauty that unfolded before our eyes. The river, the settlements, the locks (just wow!) and the complete package of catered boat trip with locks included, a port winery tour and spectacular viewpoint at the end of our day meant that this trip will go down in the memory banks as one of the best days. Thank you so much!
Terrible experience

1.00The experience was terrible. I won't recommend it to anyone. I've never been treated so badly in my whole life. Unfortunate, from breakfast to the end of the trip. I went in a couple and they put them in tables that we didn't even know anyone. The breakfast was very poor and at lunch they told me that I couldn't repeat, it was portion food, everything rationed, we didn't admit, we paid huge and there was no minimum of quality service. In addition to being little food they had the fun of saying that I could not ask for a little more meat, the little that put me in the plate. On the part of the drink, neither I nor my boyfriend wanted to drink wine at the meal so they put for the two a bottle of water of 0.50ml, ordered in the middle of lunch another bottle, which at the end of lunch already tired of asking told me that they were no longer useful. I felt like I was being stolen and deceived with shameful care. I will not repeat and I only regret the money and especially the lost time.
A total shame and scam.

1.00We did the PORTO – RÉGUA – PORTO CRUISE WITH A WINE ESTATE VISIT AND DESCENT BY TRAIN. We paid 977 Euros and we were shocked to find out that not every person with a ticket was guaranteed a seat on the top deck. Neither my parents (74 and 77 years), nor us (4 adults) or our children (6yrs, 9 yrs, 12 and 13 yrs old) had any chair to sit on during the trip when we were not in the galley eating. We spent hours standing up (!) or sitting on the hard deck in the blazing heat (without shade) from 8.30am to 3.30pm (excluding lunch). Had we known that seats were not guaranteed we would not have booked. Furthermore, the food at lunch was terrible.. soup (!) and dry pork sliced piled in a center dish, with frozen boiled vegetables. If you're unlucky enough to get a middle table you see jacks*t of the river. We spent close to 1000eurs. A total shame and scam. We will not be recommending your tour to anyone.

5.00We did the "Douro Sublimado" family program, everything went very professionally. The João received us on time, was always nice, great driving and always available. We were properly installed in a mercedes wagon (only for us), small ride in the rule and dam. We went to the wine tasting where Maria also received us with all her sympathy and explained us the whole process (3 wines, bread/cheese). Rise to the viewpoint and magnificent lunch in a traditional farm where Mr. George and his family presented us with their hospitality (the post was divine)! Returning to the rule we embarked on the cruise to the pignon where we ⁇ the experience of passing through the dam and ⁇ the magnificent views of the Douro valley! We're back to the train rule. Thanks to Douro Creativo Thank you John, Mary and George
Uncomfortable, false advertising

2.00A quite unpleasant cruise overall which is a shame as we were supposed to be admiring the natural beauty. The biggest issue was the lack of shade options on the top deck and faulty working air con below deck. Two easy fixes for a 9-hour cruise to Pinhao in summer heat. The tiny space that was available on the top deck had several smokers - adding to the problem. The other issue is the audio. Not the actual music choice, but the antiquated speakers producing a 9-hour grating tinny sound with a repetit playlist which was a sensory overload. Because of the sound quality, the tour commentry could not be heard. For such a long journey, the chairs were uncomfortable, hard, wooden dining chairs below deck or hard plastic on deck. Food was ok, but serving a hot soup starter hot plate of roast pork in midday 35-degree heat is beyond me! Squash and terrible coffee served. The pomp and ceremony revolving the dining was unesseary and old fashioned. False advertising - the Porto-Pinhao boat in the website picture isn't the one you ride! The staff worked very hard in difficult conditions.
