Our guide Paulo Nunes is Very knowledgeable, friendly, polite and thoughtful, treated us as friends. We were 7 people in a small and comfortable mini bus, personalised service. Beautiful scenery, winery visit with tastings, followed by lunch at S Leonardo with excellent wine. Ended the day with relaxing boat cruise. Definitely recommend Paulo.

The guided tour of the vineyard, the driver's skill on tricky roads, the chosen stops, the boat ride, the chance to meet nice people in the group, and the kindness of the guide. One drawback was the microphone on the bus, which didn't seem to work well. A lot of information was lost.

The site is absolutely magnificent, not to be missed. The bus was comfortable, and the driver Alba was very efficient—bravo, it's not easy on those narrow roads. We had a tasting of 3 types of Port, as well as an included lunch. I loved my day.

The views were amazing! The guide, Diogo, was very informative, attentive and funny! The driver was an expert on the narrow winding roads. It was a great tour!

A pleasant tour through a lush green valley with our friendly guide, Zara. Scenic views, a village, a boat ride, and wine tasting: a varied itinerary. I just wish there had been more information about viticulture.

Go beyond the usual wine-route stops, with guided visits to historic settlements like Amarante, places rich in culture and charm that many travelers pass by.

Discover Amarante, known for the 13th-century origins of the iconic São Gonçalo Bridge, alongside its baroque church, monastery, and scenic setting along the Tâmega River.

Relax on a scenic Douro River cruise, where sweeping views reveal terraced vineyards, rolling hills, and landmarks like the famed São Leonardo da Galafura viewpoint.

Tour a renowned local vineyard, learn about Port production, and sample three distinct regional blends.

Opt for a private group tour, a French, Spanish, Portuguese, or English-speaking guide, and enjoy a panoramic cruise and a 3-course meal.
