This tour will take you from the city of Porto to Douro Valley, with boat tour and wine tasting
The Douro Region was the first Demarcated Region in the world created in 1756 during the reign of king D. José, by the Marquês de Pombal. Classified a World Heritage place by UNESCO since 2001, it is a unique region, composed of shale terraces that man has created in the steep slopes of the river banks.
In this tour you will have the opportunity to know the Douro Valley and its natural beauties as well the biggest town: Régua and the beautiful little village of Pinhão, where are located the biggest producers of Wine.
Here, in Pinhão, we'll enjoy a very nice Rabelo Boat Tour, the Train Station, consider one of the most beautiful of the world and a lunch in a local place, really a local experience.
After the lunch we have a Visit and Wine Tasting to the Pacheca Wine Farm, one of the oldest vineyard in the Valley.

The tour advertised “the real and genuine culture of Porto and Douro Valley”. Very little information was given by Francisco during the 1 1/2 hour ride to and from - about the area. The restaurant was with other tourist groups so it did not feel like a “private tour of the culture”. The boat tour with 20 other people was one hour with no description or commentary. We visited one winery with a tour group of 30 other people. Francisco took photos but never sent them. For being advertised as private and personable, it was very, very disappointing.
