We had a great group of 20 people on our trip to Douro. Cuber our guide was fantastic, very friendly, helpful, gave lots of information and funny too. Expert driving from Carlos. Lucked out with the weather for breathtaking views. Loved everything about it, especially the cruise from Pinhao.

what an amazing tour! Andrea, our guide, was so friendly an accommodating. The day was long, but there were stop offs, sites to see and facilities on the way. Lunch was lovely and they even arranged a completely vegan meal for me that wasn't just bread or potatoes. The wine was delicious, but it would have been nice if more was offered. 1 bottle of red and 1 white to share between 8 on a wine tour is a bit stingey. The port tasting later on was amazing and our speaker was so friendly and informative. Water was provided as it was 40 degrees and we were moved into the shade as much as possible. The boat ride at the end was stunning and really peaceful. Brilliant way to spend the day and I highly reccomend this tour

Thank you Francisco for making a questionable weather day in the Douro Valley so much fun. The climb up the Lamego Sanctuary steps was made more mystical by the weather and for those considering it, it is much easier than anticipated and well worth it. Our small group of hardy travellers had a lot of fun as Francisco was both knowledgable and informative, but also very entertaining. High River, Canada

Seldom you meet people sending the message that loves what they are doing at work. Tiago is one of the few. Providing valuable information every moment, careing for each of his guests, good colleague to his mates, good control of the schedule, jokeing with spirit, driving responsibly. Tiago is an asset for Living tours. Thank you Tiago!

This was an outstanding tour. Tiago was a fantastic guide. He was so knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the Douro Valley. He was also extremely attentive to everyone’s needs throughout the tour. It could not have been a better experience. I highly recommend this day trip with Livingtours.

Go beyond the usual wine-route stops, with guided visits to historic settlements like Amarante, places rich in culture and charm that many travelers pass by.

Discover Amarante, known for the 13th-century origins of the iconic São Gonçalo Bridge, alongside its baroque church, monastery, and scenic setting along the Tâmega River.

Relax on a scenic Douro River cruise, where sweeping views reveal terraced vineyards, rolling hills, and landmarks like the famed São Leonardo da Galafura viewpoint.

Tour a renowned local vineyard, learn about Port production, and sample three distinct regional blends.

Opt for a private group tour, a French, Spanish, Portuguese, or English-speaking guide, and enjoy a panoramic cruise and a 3-course meal.

10-hour historic tour of the Douro Valley and the ancient villages

Round-trip AC mini-bus transfers from a central pick-up point (as per option selected)
