Wine and culture expert guide
Of course anyone can go on a bus with a bunch of other guests more and of course anyone could rent a car and drive to the Douro. The thing is it wouldn't be the same as having all the knowledge of your local expert tour guide for culture and wine, in a personal experience. Passing incredible landscapes on the way to the Douro Valley wine region, you will be entertained with amazing details about the area, the culture and of course, Port and Douro wines.
It's not just the landscape. It's what's behind the stage, the details, the facts, the people, and all this with fun, friendship and a lot of humour in between.
You can only get it while doing it.

5.00Amazing trip, gene was the tour guide of the day and he was lovely. He showed up to our pick up point early and quickly made us feel welcomed. It was a smooth car ride over to Douro Valley . Once there he took us to a delicious coffee shop, let us take our time and walk over the bridge. The first wine stop was gorgeous, we then went for a boat tour down the Douro River, followed by the best meal of our entire trip. There was also a sweet visit from the local cat Antonio and Dog. Everyone was lovely, my husband and I very grateful for a wonderful experience. We booked the tour thru Airbnb experiences

5.00My husband and I LOVED this tour. Jean was our guide and he was the best. Our tour group was very mixed with couples of different ages (I actually regret not getting contact info so we could keep in touch) and we all enjoyed our day immensely. Everything from the coffee shop to the boat ride, wineries and lunch...all fantastic. My husband is not a wine drinker but after this tour, he is.
Top tier!! Need to experience!

5.00The perfect way to spend a day seeing the Douro Valley, by boat, by foot, and by car. Amazing food, informative guides, and most importantly the wine. John was an incredible guide and was able to answer each and every question. If you’re in Porto and want an easy and enjoyable way to learn about and taste port… this is the perfect tour.
