We were contacted by the tour operator when we arrived in Porto re our booked tour and communication was good.
We were collected from our hotel by Paulo, who was friendly, professional and knowledgable about our tour. He gave us lots of information about Porto, the Douro Valley and wine production. He recommended places and restaurants for us to try during our stay and concluded the trip by dropping us at a viewing point in Porto for a fabulous sunset drink.
The wine tasting and lunch at a family run vineyard was the tour highlight as we were warmly welcomed by the vineyard owners. Their vineyard history and wine production was informative and the food and wine were delicious.
Our second wine tasting was a good contrast to the first where we sampled a selection of ports and wine.
We were a private party of 4 and the day felt very personal with the exception of the boat trip which was disappointing in this otherwise perfect day.
The highly personal nature of this tour made it worth the money we paid for it.

The Douro Valley is very beautiful, and our host João Mota and driver Fernando made the experience even more memorable.

Joao shared good insights along the way, and ensured that we were well informed and never felt rushed.

The private tour to Douro Valley was the highlight of our time in Porto! We loved being able to have flexibility when it came to choosing to stop at Amarante, walking through the church, and learning about the history of this town from our knowledgeable guide, Luis. He taught us about the history of Port wine, the region, and answered all our questions. It was special to not only experience the amazing wine, but also learn more about the culture and spend time with locals. It truly was a day to remember and cannot thank Luis enough for the wonderful time!
