We loved Pedro – he was a considerate and thoughtful guide always concerned for our comfort. He shared so many interesting facts. Told us great stories about the region , the history of the people and the wine industry . We also had a lot of fun with him great jokes and a lot of fun. Bruno and the other gentleman on the boat your were wonderful. It was fun to visit the wineries and the meal was fantastic all around a great day.

Experience the Douro Valley in a small group of just 8 guests, ensuring a more personal, relaxed tour with better access to guides, local hosts, and the region’s hidden gems.

Tour two distinct vineyards—one family-run and one renowned—each offering guided tastings of three local drinks and insights into traditional production methods.

Enjoy free time in the charming riverside town of Amarante, where you can stroll historic streets, admire the iconic bridge and church, and soak in the town’s laid-back atmosphere.

Glide along the Douro River on a 60-minute cruise, taking in panoramic vistas of terraced hills and picturesque villages.

Savor authentic Portuguese cuisine with a drinks-paired lunch at a family-run estate, surrounded by vineyard views.

Our guide was very friendly and informative. The scenery was spectacular. Enjoyed the River ride. Wine tasting and lunch were great. However our guide's driving through the winding roads was at times two fast and uncomfortable. Felt he should have shown more care considering who his passengers were.
