I loved the small group setting and personalization this tour offers. Ricardo took us to 3 small wineries and provided a delicious local meal. We had a private technical tour and delicious tastings. It was a wonderful day despite the weather and Ricardo does the driving in a comfortable Mercedes van. It is the way to see Douro Valley wineries.

Our tour with Bruno was incredible, and a major highlight of our time in Porto. Bruno was thoughtful and funny – and you can tell he loves what he does. The tour itself was so lovely – from the comfort of the van, to the knowledge of the wine-makers, to the delicious wine, perfect lunch, and the beautiful views. Even our fellow tourists we’re great! Ricardo, Bruno, and Jose have done a fabulous job curating this experience. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Absolutely do it.
Gladys
Wonderful day trip ! We enjoy the views, the wines, the food, and the Douro River. Bruno was such a fantastic guide, we felt very good. He cared about every detail. We highly recommend this tour.
Judith
A few years ago my husband and I decided we wanted to collect experiences rather than commodities. This tour fit the bill! Not only was the tour entertaining, it was thoughtfully designed and intellectually stimulating. I don’t know a lot about wines but I came away with a deep appreciation of the history of the valley as well as the wine making itself, from the viticulture to the table, the story fascinates. If you are lucky enough to get a reservation for this tour, do it. It is every thing they promise and more. You won’t be disappointed!
Suzi
This is a “must do” experience. Incredible Value. Very personalized and professional.
Justine
Ricardo was a wonderful guide. The whole experience was very enjoyable.
Paul
Great way to see the Douro Valley. Lunch at a private winery was a unique experience that is not easy to find!
Tracy
This is a fabulous tour to the Douro happy juice region. Ricardo and Bruno were very personable, professional and passionate. They provide a more quaint experience as we never saw a tour bus all day. Lunch was very good as well. The vans were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour.
Patty

Grant
This was awesome! Definitely do it!

José offers so much with this experience. Not only is he a fantastic designated driver, he is also a very knowledgable and accommodating host and has a great sense of humor. I’ve been on many wine tours in the past and what is unique about José’s is that his tour focuses on more than just production. He covers the cultural and historical significance of the Douro Valley in a way that is engaging even when you are intoxicated.

This was my first AirBnB experience and it was amazing!!! The wine was exceptional, the food was delicious, the tour guide was brilliant, smart and outgoing. Also–and this cannot be planned–the group I went with was fantastic. Everyone was so outgoing, friendly and just-plain fun. I am so glad my friends recommended this day trip to me. Thanks Ricardo!!!
Luís
Wow, this is the way you should experience the Douro. We are from Porto, so we had visited the Douro Valley a couple times on our own, but nothing like this. Everything from the vineyards they picked to the route they took around the valley, everything seemed to be planned with great care and attention to detail. Bruno and José definitely know their stuff and absolutely took care of us. What a great day, we highly recommend this tour!
Daniel
We absolutely LOVED this experience! José was a wonderful guide, and very knowledgeable of the history of the region, the country, and wine as a whole. The two wineries we visited were great and very educational, and the tastings were lovely. The boat ride was very scenic with some delicious snacks, and we learned a lot more about the history of the region and about port wine. Our lunch in the afternoon was delicious – all home made by the family owners of the winery, and paired with 3 or 4 additional tastings. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and 100% recommend!!!
Bruno
Couldn’t recommend this more. We were in Porto for a few days and this experience was a highlight. Ricardo was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. All the stops along the way felt very genuine and not “touristy” at all. For the cost it’s an excellent value, we got to sample plenty of great wine, there were snacks on the boat, and a hearty lunch at the final stop. Would 100% recommend as a great way to tour the Douro Valley.
