We set off towards Amarante and its traditional streets where we breathe in History and Heritage.  The trip continues onto Régua, with a quick stop at an observation point in Mesão Frio. It was from Peso da Régua that, in past centuries, the typical Rabelo boats transported the barrels of wine to Vila Nova de Gaia. And this story can be witnessed in the Douro House, with its stained glass where you can see portrayed the history of the Douro Demarcated Wine Region. The Railway Station, where the first train arrived in 1879, is a must-visit. We leave for Pinhão and, once there, we suggest a walk along the river bank, a quick visit to the train station, with its typical tiles, and then on to an estate and Port wine tasting in 'Quinta do Tedo'.

Inclusions: Lunch, Driver/guide, Wine tasting, Air-conditioned vehicle, Private Transportation (If option selected)

Wow! We couldn’t have picked a better tour of the Douro. Our driver Sergio is obviously doing what he was meant to do - from the moment we met, he was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable, and tireless in his efforts to make our day memorable. Cannot recommendation this tour enough. The two wineries we visited were well-chosen, the scenery was breathtaking, lunch was a feast, and Sergio was the best. 5 stars!

Together with two friends we had a trip to the Douro Valley. I organised the trip with Rita from Super tours, she gave the right information per email and was able to adapt the tour to our wishes. At the day of the tour Joao was on time to pick us up. He gave a lot of information about the Douro Region and the production of Port wines. It was really nice that we could adapt the tour to our wishes, it wasn't a fixed format or programme. Would definitely book a tour with Super tours again when I'm visiting the region.

We had a wonderful experience with Deltatur's Wine Tasting Tour. They were incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish. They picked us up at our hotel and took us on a boat tour, 3 tastings and a lunch. All experiences were wonderful! Our guide Raquel was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly! It was one of the best things I did in my 9 days in Portugal and I would highly recommend it!

Was able to have a custom experience seeing the Duoro Valley, in a nice Mercedes ride through the valley and to the vineyards. I put some thoughts together and Ricardo was able to make it happen at a reasonable rate. Would do this again in a heartbeat, very fun trip.

Bruno knows his way around the small streets to amazing spots in hidden towns. I was amazed with his knowledge on food, port, and local history. He found hidden olive oil spots that also had honey which to die for. I didn’t give him much time to prepare but he was still able to do it and what an experience! He loves his job and it shows in how he shared his knowledge of the area.
