Unforgettable Wine Tour in the beautiful Douro valley!

5.00We had the most amazing time on our trip with Rodrigo and Rueben. They brought us to multiple vineyards throughout the Douro Valley, on a wonderful boat ride, and to their hometown for a delicious lunch. They made us feel like part of the family and were extremely insightful about the region, its history and the wine making process. The wine was delicious, the views were stunning, and the company was top notch. They made us feel comfortable from the start of the day, picking us up at our hotel and guiding us throughout the tour. They were attentive and able to provide anything we requested. It was the best way to celebrate our anniversary! Bambuti tours is amazing and we recommend them to everyone that is looking to make the most out of their trip. We hope to be back to do it again soon. -Jake and Mariah

5.00We had such a wonderful time with Rodolfo on the day long wine tour. He was friendly, accommodating, and an excellent driver, which was important on the curvy roads. Rodolfo went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful day. The lunch out in the countryside was superb and the countryside was beautiful. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great time in Douro

5.00We had a great time with Rodrigo touring a few wineries. We were served an outstanding meal in a private home with the cutest grandmother. Afterwards we stomped grapes and ate grey honey from another farm. Full fun day for sure
The best way to see and experience the Douro and Vinho Verde wine regions

5.00Rodrigo and Ruben provided a wonderful wonderful tour. They really care about their home region - the Douro - and do everything they can to show it off in all its colours. We saw Douro and Vinho Verde regions, sailed a river, and received a lot of wine in each. They really really care about showing their home the best it can be. Yes, their Douro tour is nearly €200, but don't be scared of the price - it is absolutely worth the money for what you get. Wonderful wonderful wonderful - would recommend to everyone. Well done Bambuti!
Exceptional day!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed this thoughtful tour and we cannot recommend it enough! We were able get to know the area, and see and experience more beautiful locations and wineries through this tour than we could ever have been able to on our own. The wines and ports we tasted were wonderful, the brunch and lunch were outstanding, and the boat trip on a traditional Barco Rabelo to Pinhão was beautiful (very calm waters during the boat ride, a plus for individuals prone to motion sickness!). We appreciated that the tour included pick up and drop off at our Airbnb and that our hosts and guides were flexible in arranging for a member of our group prone to motion sickness to sit in the front of the van to avoid motion sickness. Rodrigo was an amazing driver on the winding roads. Our hosts and guides, Rodrigo and Ruben, were personable, attentive, and provided a wealth of information. Communicating to arrange our tour was easy and pleasant. This tour and experience was a highlight of our time in the Douro Valley and a very special experience.

5.00We had an excellent tour with great views, delicious food, many drinks and a day filled with fun and laughter. Rúben is the perfect guide who makes you feel like you are part of his family. Rúben's brother Rodrigo was able to join us during lunchtime and for the jeep ride, which doubled the fun and laughter! We will definitely book another tour with Bambuti on our next trip to Portugal.
Horse Riding Blast!

5.00Rodrigo was our host. Super fun and friendly! We did the horse riding and enjoyed such a great lunch that we missed our scheduled wine tour. Rodrigo kindly refunded us for the lost time, even though we went overtime at lunch while learning about their culture. The people you experience a tour with and the connections you make are truly the heart of any excursion, and Rodrigo was the best host I’ve had yet! This small business deserves much more attention—they exceeded all our expectations, and everything went perfectly.
