Very easy to book and received confirmation via email quickly. Rate is cheap compared to other private transfer. Tour operator asked me of my preferred pick up time then replied and confirmed it right away. I've been receiving email from tripadvisor, reminding and giving me updates of my upcoming bookings which give me peace of mind. Very reliable. The driver was very punctual. Highly recommended.

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.

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!

It was an incredible and perfectly organized experience. Alfredo (our guide) picked us up at our place at 8:30 am sharp and drove us very safely to Douro valley. There we visited our first two vineyards (or Quintas) in the morning, then had a good lunch with an amazing river view, took a boat ride where we could see the majestic scenery of the valley. After the boat ride, we visited our third and last vineyard before driving back to Porto. He is very knowledgeable on the local wine history and techniques. It is easy to see how much he loves and respects the subect. On COVID related (New Normal) measures, we all wore face masks during our trip, every winery complied the key health measures (social distance, masks, sanitizer, etc) - I thought this might help some other travelers take the decision. We will always remember this day!

This was a really memorable experience booked after having been on the Douro Valley tour offered by João and Pedro (I would highly recommend that also). Having tried wine from the region before visiting Porto we were keen to find out more about the Vinho Verde region. The tour did not disappoint, the views were spectacular from the viewpoints in Ponte de Lima and Viana do Castelo and made you really appreciate the most amazing Portuguese landscape, it;s really such a special area of the county. João was a fantastic guide, he personalised the experience and took time to get to know us and share his knowledge of the region. The town of Ponte de Lima was beautiful and I left feeling like I had seen part of the country not as famous as Porto. I'd recommend this experience if you are in Porto and also doing it with João and Pedro, they are both such great hosts and when I come back to Porto I will be getting in touch to arrange further tours. Highly recommend both the company and doing this tour if you're in Porto. Thanks for such an amazing time!

Was a great experience. The company is really dynamic, responsive to emails, punctual and friendly. We learned a lot during the day, visited a couple of wine farms. Owners were both passionate about their savoir-faire and their wine. The boat cruise gives you the chance to see from a different angle this beautiful valley ! Autumn is a fantastic season to picture landscape and fall colours ...
