Douro Valley Wine Tour Private Group, 1h Cruise, Lunch from Porto
Overview

Hi everyone, I’m Jonny.
I recently started my own small tour company because I love sharing the Douro Valley in a relaxed and authentic way.
My idea is simple: focus on quality, not quantity. We work with small local producers and family-run wineries, and we take the day at a comfortable pace — just as a day in the Douro should feel when you're on holiday.
During the tour we visit a family winery for a wine tasting, enjoy a traditional Portuguese lunch at another local winery, and take a relaxing boat ride on the Douro River with beautiful views over the vineyards.
Along the way we stop at some of the best viewpoints for photos and there is always time to simply enjoy the landscape.
Tours may be conducted in English, German, or both depending on the group — think of it as a small group road trip through the Douro Valley.
Hope to see you soon,
Jonny

5.00We had a really nice time that day. Communication with Local Experiences Portugal was easy and straightforward. And very reliable. We had a great focus on a German tour, which was also very well met. Even if it is not possible in all cases, because the individual parts of the tour do not always speak German of the owners, owners or other parts of the company. Nevertheless, we were all able to communicate very well and everyone is very eager to help. The tour with all the components was great. We had a wine demonstration at its finest. The boat tour was good and sufficient. The stopover at the viewpoint was great (as you can see from the pictures). The food was just awesome. The subsequent walk was good and informative, with beautiful motifs. And the pick-up and drop-off service was fun, entertaining and entertaining. You just have to come to the Douro valley :-). Thank you very much to Jonny, it was great. Many greetings

5.00The trip was amazing.Johhny was a great host and tailored the tour to the group.Everything was bespoke from the wines and the food which were all excellent. The added touch of sparkling and local soft cheese and crackers was really special.All this in a comfortable van with great views and music.
Wonderful tour with a small group

5.00We spent a great day in the Douro valley and surroundings. Jonny had a lot of interesting information (in German and English) for us. However, the sound quality of the Bluetooth speaker has some room for improvement. The tasting of the port wines at Croft was fine. The highlight was then an almost family-friendly, typical Portuguese meal at a wine and olive farmer's. Overall a great adventure ride. Danke Jonny. Barbara & Werner
Great tour with guide Jonny

5.00We had a super great day with Jonny today. He brought us a little closer to the Douro valley with his cool manner and showed us some beautiful, not too crowded, places to discover. Also the lunch and the port wine tasting was great. Highly recommended. Thanks for the great day

5.00My family and I spent an unforgettable day with Jonatas in the Doura Valley today! We have been offered an "all-round package" that we did not expect. On the one hand, through the very familiar wine tasting in the 1st Winery - without wanting to reveal too much - the selection of the program (variety without time pressure), but mainly for the reason that we did not have the impression to do the tour with a guide but with a good acquaintance! Thanks for that and for the good music in the car!
Highly recommended excursion!

5.00We had a super great day with Jonatas in the Douro Valley! He knows very well and has taken us to beautiful and interesting places. Also Johnny's open and funny way made us feel totally comfortable. It was all perfectly organized and we would book a tour with Johnny anytime again when we are back in Porto. Continue all the best and good luck with your excursions! Greetings, Eylien and family
Wonderful wine tour through the Douro Valley

5.00Yesterday we enjoyed a small group tour in the Douro Valley with our friendly guide Jonatas. Especially the small local wine growers who have fed us with a lot of heart and passion were great. With Jonatas, the day tour was so entertaining and enjoyable. We made small stops in beautiful places that we would never have found on our own. Thank you for this great experience. An absolute recommendation.
