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!

This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

The Dão Wine Region is Portugal´s best kept secret. The region is full of castles and manor houses that give it a Bordeaux feeling. Considered by most as the Saint Emilion of Portugal, the region is perfect. Hectars of vineyards, 2 mountain ranges and the Serra da Estrela (Continental Portugal´s highest mountain range) give it a romantic feel.  The region is home to producers since 1788 and produces the most stunning wines. It is home to Touriga Nacional (red grape) and Encruzado (white grape). It was a forgotten region until de 1980´s when it began to reborn. Now it is home to the traditional and modern takes on Dão Wines. The food is also to die for! Full of stews, hearty meats and of course bacalhau and octopus. Get to know this unique region in Europe.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Wine tasting, 3-course lunch, Local guide, Professional guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only), Hotel pickup and drop-off (if option selected), Coffee and/or Tea, Alcoholic Beverages

We are fans of Vinho Verde but had no idea what to expect...wowww! The Alvarinho region is in the north of Portugal in Monção Melgaço subregion. We headed to the most famous producer of Alvarinho in Portugal and had a tasting with the owner/winemaker himself...a treat! Amazing wines and good conversation. Lunch was the highlight, with typical minhota food, hearty meal with soul. Maria was a great guide...she is so passionate about food and wine, she is a great travel companion. I will definetly recommend.

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!

The Douro Valley is one of the most beautiful locations in the world. It's no coincidence that one of the most famous wines in the world also happens to come from there. Visiting the Douro Valley is an unforgettable experience, especially if you are with the right person and that's me. I offer a fully personal experience, a private tour, with you and just you. For one day, I will enjoy your company, taking you around magnificent places and telling you why the Douro Valley is so special.

My car has air conditioning, free WiFi and a guide that knows his ways in the area. I welcome suggestions from my customers and the tour can be tailored to your needs on the moment as well. There is a demo video available on request.You'll be in the hands of a person that puts your satisfaction first.

An AMAZING experience with Isa who, from pick up outside our Airbnb, was so friendly, welcoming, warm and full of pertinent and interesting information which made the whole trip so worthwhile! The drive was comfortable with a mix of friendly and informative conversation up into the mountains and the valley with wonderful views the whole way. Once to the valley, WOW, the views were spectacular! The first winery had the views as well and a friendly guide, Marta, with DELICIOUS wines, olive oil and honey all grown/made on site. Hesitant to leave it was onto the river boat tour which was sooo relaxing and scenic. Then it was onto a local traditional restaurant that can also accommodate vegetarian/vegan (made up a wonderful pasta dish for the hubby off menu) that came with wine, fresh bread and local olive oil, main dish and dessert for an incredible price (because we were with the tour company) and it also had the views over the town, river and vineyards on the hillsides as well. The last winery was more focused on Ports with lots of info, more views, the fun Maria with Isa to give tons more info and great tastings with tasty snacks and lots of conversation and laughing. The way back to Porto was comfortable conversation as we’d definitely made a friend in Isa along with all the beauty, info and of course wine shared throughout the day. Have already been telling all our friends and family about this tour (and others from Cool Tours and especially Isa!!)! Unforgettable!!
