Full description

This full-day adventure begins with a pick-up at your hotel (*optional). Enjoy the stunning landscapes throughout your trip: observe the green valleys, beautiful vineyards, majestic almond, and olive groves.


You have just reached your destination: the heart of the Douro Region, a set of small villages with an important role in the history of Port Wine. Learn all about Port Wine and the Douro Region History as you have the opportunity to visit 2 well-known Wine Estates.


Discover why the Alto Douro Vinhateiro Region is so much loved internationally. Uncover the most welcoming corners, breathtaking landscapes and the green and gold tones on the beautiful Douro River.


While on your guided tour, enjoy the wonderful views that the different viewpoints ("miradouros") offer you. Go along with the undulating curves of Douro Wine Region hillsides. These landscapes are so unique that this so beloved region was classified as UNESCO World Heritage.


We are facing the perfect scenario for an exquisite visit to a Winery with 3 Wine Tasting Experience in Pinhão, a small village that covers a large number of renowned Wine Estates. A mandatory stop on this surprising tour.


The wine is not the only one that has a good reputation in this region: the gastronomy is able to bring you “the mouth-watering factor”. As soon as lunchtime arrives, enjoy a delicious traditional meal with paired wine and indulge in Portuguese gastronomy!


This tour is far from finished. It is now necessary to know more closely the landscapes that make this region a real point of reference. Expect a 45 minutes panoramic cruise in the waters of the Douro River.


After the river cruise, there is yet another famous winery to visit (Quinta da Roeda - Croft/Taylor's Group or Quinta São Luiz - Kopke/Calém Group). There, you will be invited to experience a tasting of three wines, surrounded by a truly welcoming environment: the vineyards of the Douro!

Wine tour with lunch
Absolutely superb trip - exceeded all expectations - our guide Rosa & driver Silvinho were nothing short of excellent with their knowledge & way they looked after us - this is a trip I would say is a must do if you have the time available

Douro wine tour
On Saturday February 24th we ventured out on this full day tour with our guide Onofre and driver Jose. It was an amazing day. The tour itself is very well organized and thanks to Onofre and Jose kept us on time, but allowing us to fully enjoy the day. The wineries were welcoming and informative. Lunch was excellent with generous amounts of wine flowing and also allowed us to interact with our fellow tour companions. This was a great day and good value. Thank you Onofre and Jose for making it fun.

From the excellent guidance to the seamless coordination and thoughtful touches like the music pairing
My experience exploring the Douro Valley with tour guide Tony and driver Maykel was nothing short of exceptional. The tour seamlessly blended scenic drives through breathtaking landscapes with insightful Tony's commentary on the Douro's rich cultural heritage. What truly set this tour apart was the innovative pairing of music with our surroundings during the drives. As we navigated the roads flanked by terraced vineyards, Tony curated a soundtrack that perfectly complemented the stunning vistas, enhancing the overall sensory experience. Maykel's skilled driving ensured a smooth and comfortable journey throughout, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Douro Valley. His professionalism and attentiveness were much appreciated, adding an extra layer of comfort to the excursion. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the river cruise, offering a unique perspective of the valley's enchanting scenery from the water. Paired with a delightful lunch featuring local specialties, it was the perfect culmination of a day filled with exploration and indulgence.

Amazing Douro Valley tour with Arnaldo!
Arnaldo made our experience so wonderful! He was fun and extremely knowledgeable about many topics. Loved our visit to the Sabrosa winery especially. We had a group of 8, which was a perfect size. Wish we could have stayed longer and booked a city tour with Arnaldo. Recommend! This was a highlight of our week in Portugal.
Emily Kerr
Amazing day trip
Had the most wonderful experience with Orlando and Ramos, what a great duo! Lovely and knowledgeable guides, making sure to include everyone in the experience and great music to accompany the beautiful landscapes and stories.
Anneleen
Outstanding
Best value and most entertaining tour from Porto! Try and get Ramos and Orlando! We were nervous as we took it in early January considering the weather and temperature. There is no bad time except perhaps the summer (40c+ and humid). Take this tour and experience one of the best activity you'll do in Portugal.
Chris Coates
Excellent
Excellent tour today with Jose and Rita. Rita has Very good knowledge of the area and amazing driving from Jose.
Chris
Great day out and value for money
Went to a couple of vineyards in the Duro area and enjoyed a variety of wines. Genuinely great value for money and food provided was more than enough. Thanks Emanuel and Silva for guiding us! You made the day flow well with a little bit of free time here and there to get a coffee or some shopping in.
Nick
A great day out
A beautiful and memorable trip to Duoro valley. Duoro was absolutely breathtaking and the trip also included short visit to Amarante and Pinhao. Our guide Nelson was funny, sharing interesting stories about the place and culture. Our driver Paolo did a great job driving us through all the narrow roads. Overall I would definitely recommend this if you would like to cover Douro valley in a day from Porto.

Nice expérience
Thanks to Anabela and Manuel for this Nice Day Great visits, great testings & food with interesting and humourous comments
Anne-Marie
Greatly recommended
Had a great time with Luciano and Mikael. They made us feel like family and treated us as one of our own. The tour was not overpacked and was done at an easy pace. We went in a bus with maybe 20 PPL and it didn't feel overstuffed. The food and cruise on the trip were great and we would highly recommend it the next time you are in Porto.
Anirban
Great!
We had a great day! Our guide and driver Bruno and Silva were very nice and knowledgeable, the wine tour was very interesting and the food and drinks were amazing. Special mention to our host at lunch, for making us feel at home.
Ariane and Quinn
memorable birthday in the Douro valley
A truly unforgettable experience, because of Pedro, our very knowledgeable guide, with his amazingly appropriate play list, and our driver, Silvino. Visited two very different vineyards, with a lunch of local fair included. Not to forget sampling different types of port along the way. A short stop to Amarante, to explore beautiful church, views and local pastries. The boat trip in a traditional Rabelo boat, afforded views of the vineyards from a different perspective. A wonderful day out with amazing photo opportunities and a wealth of knowledge. Well worth it.
Lynne Ireland
Great tour from Porto
This is the best way to see the Duoro Valley wineries. Luciano and Paulo were great guides and had many stories. Wine and lunch was great.
Erin Reilly
Discovering Douro vineyards
We've spent a great day with my friends discovering the Douro region. Our tour guide, Paulo, was really empathic and enthusiastic with his job. The Porto taste was excellent and the lunch was fair according to the price. We will recommend it, we've enjoyed the tour.

Terrific experience - would recommend
We had a terrific tour by Orlando and Bruno in English - it was not only so informative but also so much fun and silly. Great for all ages whether you drink wine or not. Great timing, allocation of relaxation time and informative Port wine tours and great food and hosts along the way. I would recommend this over and over, and would heavily consider doing the same tour the next time I come back. Cheers to Orlando! I hope you will choose the same experience we had.
Adam Rosenkranz

Bruno and Paulo were great and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone else interested in understanding the rich cultural heritage of this unique part of Portugal.
Edgar
Best wine tour we've ever been on.
Ricardo, tour guide, and Tiago, expert driver, were fantastic, fun, informative and professional. We had a great time, learned a lot about the area, Port wines and had a great time. I'm glad I didn't have to drive. Whew!
Steve Lane
Such a lovely time!
Rita and Bruno were such kind, wonderful guides for our time in the Douro Valley. Beyond the knowledge they shared with us, they also facilitated a warm, welcoming, and fun dynamic amidst our group. Grateful for both of them and their energy and spirit. :)
Matt Pascua
Sadly, not for me
Our tour guide and driver were outstanding 5 ⭐️ for Ricardo and Lucas. Unfortunately the rest of the tour was not for me. After 40 minutes we stopped for 50 minutes with "free time". Personally, I would have rathered use this time for another vineyard rather than just walking around. I enjoyed the first vineyard, which was well equipped for a group of our size (around 30+ people). We didn't arrive until well after 11am .. after starting at 8am. The boat ride was pretty, but an hour was much too long - especially without food or drink (went until 2pm lunch). The lunch location was ultimately not equipped for a group of our size and we didn't eat until well after 3pm (we were all starving by then!). Whilst they were a lovely family - the catering was very small servings and akward table setting squished into a very small space. The wine was lovely though. Grateful for the experience - but if you're looking for an intimate, personal experience with great food - this isn't for you.
Leisa
Excellent tour!
I loved the tour of the Douro Valley. Our guide, Luciano was excellent and very informative. He also had a great sense of humor. The driver was wonderful as well. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name. The lunch was good. Overall, I enjoyed the experience.
Alla
Amazing Douro Valley Tour
Our very personable and knowledgeable guide Luis provided us an unforgettable experience. Because it happened to be just my wife and I , he tailored the trip to include a brief stop in Amarante to see a beautiful church and sample some local pastries. The wineries, lunch, and short river cruise, made it a wonderful day. Obrigado Luis.
Mark Mikkelson
Brilliant and entertaining
There was absolutely nothing I could say negatively about the whole day. Ricardo our guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. The driver Silvino was also professional and helpful. The tours and the scenery were out of this world …. And the food was lovely. Well worth every penny. Thank you!

Best!!
We absolutely loved our tour of the Douro Valley from Porto. The driver and guide (David) were wonderful and so knowledgeable. David had such a wonderful sense of humor and great playlist. Despite the weather forecast predicting heavy rain, we made it to the first family winery and it clear up enough for the boat ride. Such a beautiful view. Second family winery, we had incredible lunch. Cannot recommend enough! We had a mechanic issue and David took over the situation and managed to keep all of us happy.
Y
You are an adventurer....do the Douro Valley wine tour
Amazing, funny, the tour guide Orlando provided us with all the curiosities and information about the wine tour, historical and cultural information, combined with an unforgettable music play list. Together with the driver Alvaro, that drove really safe in some difficult roads, made our tour perfect. The wines are tasty, the best in the world, our launch was very good and in a fantastic place, like a fairytale place. I highly recommend it to everyone that comes to Portugal.

Wonderful day seeing the sights of the Douro Valley. It was well organized, informative and fun! The guides, Rita and driver Arlindo were wonderful and gave us plenty of info along the way. I learned a lot about wine and the sights were beautiful! It was a great day.
Fran
Great and FUN tour
Excellent day in the Douro Valley with our super guide Orlando and very skillful driver Alvaro. Orlando’s commentary and amusing anecdotes paired wonderfully with his music selection on the bus. The vineyard port stop, the river cruise and the lunch were all so good, and we had a great group of 22 to share the day with. These guys keep to schedule and know their territory! Between the driving (trust me, let Alvaro do that as you enjoy the amazing views) and the local expertise and tasty elements, this trip is great value. Highly recommended.

THANK YOU! RITA & ARLINDO - Great Douro Tour!
A wonderful day on our Douro Tour! Rita, Tour Leader, is passionate in sharing her love of Portugal. We were happy to be such fortunate beneficiaries! Kudos to Arlindo our bus driver for navigating us safely through those hairpin turns… The Tour provided a wonderful scenic drive, a Village walk about, Port tasting & a Douro River boat ride - certainly an extensive one day adventure! Vintage Theory, Sabrosa, provided an informative & engaging Port expert that led us through an impressive Tawny Port flight. Lunch was included, it must be rated as mediocre. Significant improvement is needed on the food quality aspect of the business. Quinta da Roeda, Croft generously shared its sweeping vistas with us. We were given a rudimentary Croft flight as part of the Tour. We would have been delighted to pay a premium for a more intensive Croft tasting experience. Perhaps, an additional, enhancement that Living Tours, could incorporate as an add on option with this Tour. Again, applause to our wonderful Tour Leader - Rita! You’ve inspired us to visit again! We hope to be fortunate enough to have you as our Tour Leader on our future Living Tours adventures. Rita, you are an inspirational Portugal Tourism Ambassador!

Our Guide Luciano & Driver Silvino both Excellent. We had a great day, good information about the area/history, just enough to keep it pleasant. The included luch was a very good Home Made meal. And the tastings were of high quality.

Great day!
Fabulous day with a great tour guide and wonderful bus driver! The scenery was beyond gorgeous despite lots of clouds and some rain! Both wineries were beautiful!! The lunch was plentiful! The boat ride was very pretty and relaxing! I enjoyed meeting people on the tour from all over the world. Just a super fun day!

Great day in Douro Valley with amazing guides
We had an excellent day out in the Douro Valley. On our way to the first winery we made a stop in the beautiful village of Amarante, which is a very scenic experience. At the first winery we were guided through the cellars and were explained how they make their wines and were given more background on their wines itself. After the tour we were seated and provided with our first muscat wine. Then an extensive and great warm lunch with local food, a red and white table wine and finished off with a nice dessert and another muscat wine. After the first winery we went for a ride through the Douro Valley and we were able to see the amazing views of the Valley itself. We stopped at a view point, at which we could really take the views in and make some nice pictures. Then it was time for the boat ride on the Douro river. Unfortunately it was raining, but since the boat has a big cabin with lots of seating, we still had a great time. After the boat ride, we went for another ride to our second winery of the day. Again we had a guided tour, but this one was more about the history of the winery itself and the quality of the product. At the end of the tour we were seated again and were provided with a nice selection of table and port wines. After the second winery, we drove back to Porto and finished our tour. A big special thanks I have to give to Orlando and Maykel! Orlando was our tour guide and provided us with fun, historical and energetic information during the whole tour. This was accompanied by his own selection of music, which related to his stories. This absolutely gave an extra dimension to the tour. Maykel was are chauffeur of the day. Specifically on this day, there was a lot of rain and therefore a bit more traffic and less visibility. Maykel navigated us through traffic, the rain, over mountaintops and small streets without any problem. He always made us feel safe. Therefore, a big thanks to the both of you, Orlando and Maykel, for making the tour even more memorable!
Sander van Es
Amazing wine tour of the Douro valley (and so much more!)
We thoroughly enjoyed our Douro valley wine tour. Our tour guide, Andre, was knowledgeable and funny. The driver was safe and the small bus was really nice. I have been on numerous wine tours all over the world but this one stands out, from the quality of the food and wine, the amazing river cruise and its spectacular views, and visiting small towns (birth place of Magellan and Amarante as well). I was never pressured to buy anything (although I wanted to buy everything). I highly recommend this tour to wine lovers and even non-drinkers alike!
Stephanie
Highlight of our Porto Trip
This tour will always be one of our unforgettable experiences in Porto. It was organized well, the guide Isabel and driver Silvino were very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a blast singing and dancing in the bus. They made my friend's birthday special. The venue for lunch was very beautiful. It was a fancy lunch with overflowing wine and good food! There was even music and the musician played the birthday song for my friend and one of the staff brought a cake with candle - thank you to Isabel! The wine houses that we visited were both amazing! The views were spectacular! The river cruise was very relaxing and fascinating. There was just one guide from the Kopke port wine house that shouted at us while tasting wine in the hall and asked us to be quiet so she can talk to her group - we found this very rude. It's not the fault of living tours, thought I think that this guide should know that she spoiled the atmosphere for those people that she shouted at. All in all we had an excellent time and highly recommends this tour! Muita Obrigada Isabel and Silvino
Kharla
Great day with Orlando and Maykel
I have used Living Tours before but today was excellent. Just came back from the full day Douro valley/wine tasting /Portuguese lunch tour and all I have to say is that our guide Orlando and driver Maykel are a true dynamic duo. As for Orlando, Great sense of humour, hystorical tips and odd facts about everything and everywhere we were driving through always kept us entertained throughout a long 10 h tour. As for Maykel, I would trust him to operate a spaceship. Note our tour was on a day of very challenging weather. Thank you guys
Anna Roussou

The Douro Valley Tour was the highlight of our trip to Portugal.

Would definitely recommend this tour and especially Paulo to everyone. Our driver for the day was great as well!
Michael
Great way to experience the valley
We did the valley and river tour with Port tastings and lunch. What a great experience! Being able to sit back and take in the views on our excursion was perfect. Our guides, Rocha and Sousa were very knowledgeable of the history and fun facts of the area. Our boat captain was full of great info as well. The tastings and winery tours were fun and the lunch provided was delicious with them being able to accommodate diet restrictions. Great way to spend a day and see the sights in comfort. Recommended!!
John M
Great day in Douro valley
Lovely day doing the Douro valley tour with Bruno as our guide. He was knowledgeable, chatty and overall a great host for us. Stops at two nice port houses with tastings, good lunch, nice river trip, and interesting stop at a town en route!
Stephen
2 Wineries tour
Very nice tour with beautiful wineries, good lunch and nice boat tour. Rita was a very good and very competent guide. For my taste too many people on the tour: full big bus instead of a small bus and full boat with 2 bus loads. Obviously many tourists in Porto at this moment.
Uwe Schweigert
Douro Valley tour
The Douro valley tour we took was excellent and the guide Nelson was wonderful, provided good commentary of the tour. The food provided for lunch was delicious. When there was an issue with the tour bus on the way back they quickly arranged for the alternative transportation and got us back to Porto. Thank you for the wonderful experience
Suresh
Good tour but bad food
The first half of the tour was very nice. The first vineyard was beautiful, and the boat ride was nice. The driver and the guide were both very nice and friendly. The downside was the lunch on the second vineyard. It was not good, especially the "fish" plate. It barely contained any fish, and the portion was minimal. The overall experience of the lunch did not feel up to the standard of the rest of the tour. Everyone in the group seemed to feel the same way. I still recommend the tour, but fingers crossed that the lunch place gets changed :)
Hugo
Superbe excursion avec Tony et Silvano
Nous avons passé une très belle journée. les paysages sont époustouflants. la prestation est de qualité. A faire nous recommandons. Merci à Living Tour , Tony et Silvano pour votre accueil chaleureux.

Flavio is the best guide!!

Wine tour to Douro
We arrived at the office meeting point and were surprised to see so many people but the staff very efficiently divided everyone into groups. We had a really excellent guide called Bruno. He gave us some information on Porto as we drove through the city and continued with interesting facts as the tour progressed. The first winery visit was very good. Information provided clearly and we got to taste 3 port wines. This was followed by a short cruise on the river which was ok, very very hot, but lovely scenery and not too long. Lunch was OK not amazing but fine Second visit was also OK, got to taste a young port wine. Our driver Diego was also excellent. If you don't rent a car this is a great option, particularly for the beautiful scenery and opportunity to visit wineries. Professoionly organised too.
Claire
Exceeded all expectations!
Fantastic day out. We booked this tour for 6 friends in October 2023 and every element was better that we'd hoped for. Organized and timely- no hanging around. Brilliant guide Pedro delivered exceptional knowledge on all the points of interest & immersed us in unforgettable experience. The lunch was delicious and unbelievably generous portions & a beautiful selection of wines-served by wonderful friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble for our guide Pedro Cortinhal who provided water to keep us hydrated all day & provided a very suitable & fun playlist on board the bus to tie in with the mood-5"the port tasting & vinyard were also excellent & we had regular toilet stops- honestly the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Best value for money! This was executed to perfection- a luxury day out !

A Pleasant Day Out
I was apprehensive about joining an organised tour - they are, as one other reviewer noted, a big business. My fears seemed confirmed as the "small" tour turned out to be a group of 35. Then everything got better. Our tour guide, Mario, was humorous and knowledgeable. The driver, Elizbet, careful - an important skill on the small and windy roads. The tour gave us all the sights, tastes and smells that Duro has to offer. We enjoyed ourselves.

We had the best time....our guide Luciano was fantastic!.... fun and very knowledgable....our driver Arturo was very safe and handled the road like a boss! We enjoyed the entire tour...from the stops in towns and overlooks along the way to the beautiful lunch, the wines and ports, boat cruise and breathtaking scenery. A must do when in Porto!

Cindy Emary
Great Day!
Excellent day full of food, wine, port and scenery. Our tour guide, Luciano and driver, Bruno were terrific. They worked in our music on the bus to the experience. When we exited a 6 km tunnel, the song came on "Here comes the Sun...." It was really fun. We ended up singing to Sweet Caroline. Everyone was in fine humour and the day was long but never boring. Lots of stops to break things up.

Highway Rescue
Our Duoro Valley Wine Tour + Cruise was exceptional. We visited Quinta S. Luis, Quinta da Avessade where we had lunch (so delicious) & did a lovely Rabelo boat tour. Our tour guide Nelson was wonderful & our driver Tiago made us feel safe. Our bus broke down on the highway but all the staff handled the precarious situation with efficiency & professionalism so that we were soon on our way in a new bus. Bravo!

Great wine tour
Loved the day trip to two wineries with Inês and Paulo! Would recommend to anyone who wants to experience the Douro valley
Rebecca
Overall an average tour to a beautiful place
The good: - Douro valley is a beautiful place to see and should not be skipped on a trip to Porto. - Our tour guide Ricardo was excellent, he kept us entertained on schedule and told us some interesting history about the area and Portugal. - Bus was comfortable The bad: - The food on the tour was terrible - this spoilt the tour for me. - The port was OK but I didn't feel we were told any information about what we were tasting. - The tour is very much an industry and it did feel like it at times (e.g. arriving for lunch and being held outside while the previous bus load of people were leaving) Overall: - this averaged out to an OK experience. Although I would be tempted to recommend that people save their money and perhaps get on a train to the Douro valley.

Hada great time on the duro valley tour. Very informative and gracious host and driver; Nelson/ Bruno. Enjoyed their company so much that I would hire them in a heartbeat if I owned a tour company.

Enjoyed the scenery on one day wine tour with Bruno. Lunch was good and first tasting enjoyable. The second winery had a beautiful view but wine tasting and tour was just okay. Our one suggestion is that the rock music was incongruous with scenery and he kept playing same songs. Took away from peaceful experience. Also Bruno should be clearer when indicating where going next - when to meet etc. many of us were confused

Wonderful Duaro Valley Tour
Most impressed with our full day trip to the Duaro Valley. Alex did a great job of getting us there and back, and Rita was very informative, fun, personal and created an inclusive and friendly environment that really made the day. The guides at the two vineyards were very different, but both were very good. I appreciated that our latter guide talking about the impact of climate won the wine industry. All in all a fabulous day and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the company and tour. Thank you to everyone.

Douro Valley Wine Tour
Really enjoyed the tour. Flavio brought a lot of fun energy to the trip and Silvino did a great job getting us around the winding roads. The Douro valley is beautiful and the lunch location was the best food and wine we have had in Portugal.

Wine Tour
Our all day wine tour with Francisca and Tiago was superb! The winery selections were great, the luncheon tasty and the tours were interesting. Francisca obviously enjoys her work, is very attentive, personable and made the day exceptionably enjoyable. Of all the tours we've been on this has been the most fun and relaxing.
John
It was very good
I booked the tour with my sister and friend and we enjoyed every minute. Castro and Sousa were extremely nice and made it an amazing experience. We loved the food as well as the wine and can only recommend it!
Natascha
Great time!
Had the best time on our tour! Countryside was beautiful and it was such an enjoyable and relaxing day. Our guide, Maria, was very knowledgeable and it was obvious that she really loved what she was doing. Would definitely recommend to anyone that wanted to tour the valley and learn about the wines.
Pam
A Birthday blast
Paul + Adão were fabulous! Stunning weather and itinerary. The whole day felt so balanced and calm, and we are so glad we visited the valley from Porto—lovely lunch and tasting at Saint Lucia, followed by St Luiz. Topped with a sunny river cruise and stop at the quaint Amarante on our return home. Windy roads! Friendly locals. Enjoyed the learnings today.
Cameron Champion
Wonderful experience
What a beautiful day we had in Douro Valley, with our guide Inesh and amazing driver Orlando who introduced us to this spectacular region and got us there safely and back. They were helpful, informative and fun - and we loved spending the day here and would highly recommend it! Great food, great wines, great views, great hosts!
Tammy
Wonderfull expierience!
Great expierience, perfect organized tour with the lovely guide Isabel. Boot tour was very busy with a lot of people in the boat, but the view compensated this. Kopke winery visit was impressive! If you visit Porto and you want to combine the city with some beautifull nature and information on port, we can advise this.

Great way to spend a day
High quality experience. Learned so much about the Duoro Valley region and of course its contribution to the world’s wine production. Delicious tastings. Gorgeous scenery. Knowledgeable guides and hosts at the wineries. Appreciated the stop to visit and explore the beautiful medieval village of Amarante. Perfect weather for a memorable river cruise. Comfortable mini bus expertly and safely driven by Paulo Ramos. Welcoming and warm, tour guide Joao Rocha made it an A+ experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Emmanuel, was awesome. Very chatty and informative. Provided wonderful service. The vineyard tours including the port and wine tasting and sharing of the port making process was very informative. Our lunch was really good. All in all a great time!!

Excellent trip
My wife and I went on this trip in September. Carolina was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and clear about how our day would be organised. The day was very well structured and interesting. We were welcomed at each place and the day packed a lot in whilst still being relaxing. The food was excellent. We felt that the trip was good value for money. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Great tour
Really enjoyed seeing this beautiful valley and the wineries. The boat ride was a bonus. Enjoyed it
Jo
Wine tour
Really excellent tour. Aleksander was excellent. Boat tour was lovely. The second winery where we had lunch in particular was lovely. Everyone was so friendly. Only comment would be the first tour felt very rushed. It was evident the guide was overbooked and had no time for questions or discussions. She ran through everything. Was still enjoyable but would have been better if less rushed.
Emma Flanagan
BOOK THIS TOUR!!
One of the most spectacular tours we have been on. The views are breathtaking. The trip was made by having such a wonderful guide in Ricardo - his passion for what he does is on full display. Confidently say it would not have been the same without him. Our driver was Antonio, who got us everywhere smoothly and safely. would give 100 stars if we could!!
Matthew & theresa
Eu adoro!
My trip was on Sept. 2023- our groups was amazed by Ricardo, the charming expert guide, and Manuel, the talented former F1 driver. I really enjoyed the lunch with wine at the local casa, it was very homey. I loved how welcoming the people are. The scenic views and cruise was excellent. I definitely recommend this tour, anyone will enjoy it! Oh, we had a toddler - one of the participant brought her 2 yr old girl. She was intimidated at first but she was smiling the whole afternoon. It was great day. Just don't forget to bring a handheld mini fan with you!
Olivia Won
Duoro wine tasting
Great day trip from Porto. Flabeo our guide was informative and entertaining. Mario our driver was excellent. Wine tasting and lunch well worth it. Travelled in September 2023
Nichola
Highlight of my Holiday
I can truly only say good things about this tour. Our guide for the day was Joào, who was welcoming, friendly and helpful, as was our coach driver Manuel. I commend Manuel highly for his skill on some very difficult roads! We had a couple of lovely stops on the way to the first main stop, and we're also given a lot of interesting talks from our very knowledgeable guide. The tour guide at the first vineyard, certainly knew what she was talking about, and with a lot of amusement too! The lunch was delicious as was the wines that went with it! Lovely sat in the garden under the walnut trees, and getting to know a few of the other tourists was very enjoyable! I went away from here with much more knowledge of how to taste wine and port properly. On to the boat trip, and this was so peaceful and very enjoyable too. Back on the tour bus and on to the next vineyard, and this was very informative too, and a lovely chance to get know a few more of the tourist on this trip. Another stop on the way back to admire the gorgeous Douro Valley views. A wonderful tour, which taught me so much about the Port Wine industry in this beautiful setting of the Douro Valley. If you're in Porto, do not miss out on this one. Worth a lot more money than I paid for it! My Trip was on 1st August 2023
Hilda Luscombe
Lovely day out
We first visited the Croft Winery, we had a brief tour of the vines and a lesson about how the port is made. The location is absolutely beautiful and the three ports we were given to taste were lovely and our host from the winery was great Our one hour river cruise was glorious, relaxing and perfect scenery. We next had lunch at another winery in Pinhao and a port tasting. Wine was included with lunch. Unfortunately the food was not good (I opted for vegetarian and still don’t know what I was served, tofu something) and we were only given one port to try after touring the estates museum (which was interesting). On the way back to Porto we stopped for half an hour in Amarante which is a charming village next to the Duoro. Our guide Andre was excellent, very informative and friendly and happy to answer all questions. Overall it was a great day and I would recommend, good value for money.

Superbe expérience, je recommande totalement. À ne pas manquer !!!

Worth it! Highly recommend.
A great way to spend the day - excellent way to get the feel of the Duoro Valley without having to do any of the planning yourself. Very informative and interesting. Good value for the money and time. Tour Guide Bruno was excellent. Great photo opportunities of several vineyards, the valleys and the river.
Albert from Canada
Luciano Great Guide & Bruno Pro Driver
Luciano was a fun and knowledgeable guide sharing culture and history of Douro Valley! Bruno handled the curves & tight spots like a pro! The farm and wineries are both beautiful with very good port experts. It was a great day and experience all around.

Lovely but long day
We thorough enjoyed our day touring the Douro valley with Isabel and driver Elizabetha. The first port wine tasting stop where we also had lunch was beautiful and the guide there was hugely informative and knowledgeable. Lunch was lovely. The Croft vineyard was very nice but things got rather rushed here and there was little time to enjoy the port and no time to make a purchase at the shop as we would have liked unfortunately. The boat cruise was nice. The journey back was long and we over ran a little making it a rush for our dinner reservation! All things considered we would recommend this tour.
Susan
The Highlight of our journey
This day trip was amazing. Duoro Valley is breath taking and the cruise was once in a lifetime experience. Bruno, the driver, and Rita were super kind and friendly. 100% suggested
Cristina Colombo
It was awesome, especially Ricardo and Jose!
This was an awesome tour in spite of a little fog. Our guide, Ricardo was excellent, as was our driver, Jose. The views are so very special. The wine tours were very informative and delicious! Lunch was good and the wine kept coming. Second wine tour was a little different, and the wines were different, and good. The boat tour gave us a new perspective on the beautiful Douro Valley. Highly recommend this tour, and can't say enough about how Ricardo and Jose kept us entertained, comfortable, and safe. Obrigada!

A most excellent tour. Our guide Tony Bras and driver Manuel were great. It was not rushed and we had time to enjoy all the stops. The lunch at Favaios Winery was excellent and beyond expectation. The port tasting (our last stop) was very informative and fun. Would highly recommend.
William
Amazing tour! A must do
If you travel to Porto, do not miss this part of the Douro Valley promenade. I enjoyed it a lot thanks to our guide Pedro and our driver Bruno. Excellent and professional guide and driver. The visit to Amarantes, tovthe wine manufacturers of Porto, the lunch, the boat promenade, and so on were great. It is worth going on this excursion...my advice don' t miss it!! Para los valencianos que vayan a Oporto, es 100% recomendable.
Mari Carmen from Valencia
Fantastic Experience
What a fantastic day out - full value for money. Pedro our guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable and made sure we were well looked after. Loved the music which accompanied our journey. Bruno our skilled driver navigated the twists and turns high up above the wine valleys. Lunch was a sumptuous affair with lovely wine on top of the port tastings. Would highly recommend. Set off at 8am and returned at 7pm, having made friends with fellow travellers and having very much enjoyed my wine and port! Joined instructions easy, excellent tour. Thankyou!

I learned a lot, they were great at answering questions. I admired Bruno’s ability to, not only relay so much interesting information, but to do it in 3 languages! Orlando is a great driver, safe and efficient…and his “playlist “ was awesome. Thanks for a great experience.

Valley 5*, Van 1*
In all honesty, the Valley can surely sell itself - absolutely beautiful and the terraced vineyards and wonderful bridges stand as a testimony to man's ingenuity. Pros - The visitation sites selected were well chosen and staffed by well spoken representatives. The wine tastings were delicious and the luncheon provided was equally delicious. The river cruise was fun and a relaxing ending to the day. Our guide, Andre' was delightful and made many efforts to provide interesting cultural information. The "Valley" and sites deserves 5 stars - the van - maybe 2! Cons - DO NOT let them schedule you for the 8 passenger Mercedes mini-van. You have to stoop over to crawl into the van. You only have bench seats which, on twisty roads, forces you to grab something to avoid sliding into your seat mates. and if you are tall, sitting in the back seat required me to bend my head the entire trip as the ceiling is too low. The van can make for a long day. They have a small coach option that allows you to walk in and sit in individual coach seats. This will make for a totally more enjoy experience.
Ted Barto
A day trip of a lifetime
This is a review for a day trip I took in April 2023, having booked it in advance on a whim before I visited Porto. I don’t usually provide feedback unless I genuinely have something to say and this qualifies. That and the fact our Tiago made the whole bus pinkie-swear we’d provide feedback otherwise his kid would starve! Jokes aside this was a truly enjoyable trip, worth every cent. At first, I was not sure what to expect as I assumed it would be a brief trip designed to whisk you around with frequent stops but not enough to enjoy the outing. I was pleasantly surprised because it was a full day itinerary, with adequate time at the various stops along the way. Aside from tons of jokes, Tiago’s knowledge of the history of the region and general trivia is commendable. He was thorough in providing local info and even interesting trivia like the film location for the latest Fast and Furious movie. The group was small enough to allow everyone to get friendly and share travel experiences. I met a few wonderful people. The transport was comfortable and nicely air-conditioned. The star attraction was of course the combination of the winery tour and the majestic views of the vineyards from two vantage points. The delicious lunch alone could easily have set you back the cost of the full tour in other parts of the world. Tiago’s partner in crime and driver was Silvino, the strong silent type. He drove us safely from pickup point, out to the scenic route and back, staying alert even when everyone took a siesta after the wine. In short, this is a trip I’d highly recommend. Well done Tiago and Silvino, and apologies that my review took a while!

Don't miss this opportunity!
Special kudos to Tania, our beautiful and happy guide, and Marco, our professional humble driver! We enjoyed every minute of pur trip. We felt very welcome, were able to take our time at stops, and learned a lot about making a great port wine! Plenty of wines to drink - come prepared, bring water. From our experience tap water is not perfect, but good to drink, it can be really hot in the valley. Special thank you to Tania - the song she sang on a trip Una Casa Portuguesa will be in my heart forever.

This tour is an absolute must-do! Living Tours is incredibly professional and very accommodating. After a mix up with my booking, they very graciously offered my friend and I spots in the following day's tour group, which we are endlessly grateful for. This was the highlight of our stay in Porto. From the many glasses of wine, to the scenic river cruise, to a stop in a quaint town on the way back to Porto after lunch, we enjoyed every minute of the tour.

Excellent Trip to Douro Valley
We did a small vehicle tour too Douro valley earlier this week, after our trains got cancelled. Living tours office is right outside San Bento station, where we were able to book same day departures. Pedro, our guide for the day kindly waited for us. The tour itself is excellent, stopping for a coffee at Amarante, then lunch and wine tasting at a vineyard. Lunch was delicious and wine pours generous. After which, we were taken to the river where a 1hr boat ride took us along the river - something I wasn't a big fan of. We then followed to our next vineyard where there was a small guided tour of vineyard followed by more port to taste! The trip was made special by Pedro, with his excellent navigation, suggestions and music choices. Highly recommend a small group wine tour to Douro valley with Pedro!
Shivam
Experiência Única
Sem dúvida o vale do Rio Douro e suas vinhedos são de uma beleza fantástica. Porém, o “ big plus “ desses momentos vividos, foi sentir-me extremamente segura com a destreza de Orlando guiando o auto carro, sua simpatia e disponibilidade em nos ajudar. Pedro, de sua parte, nos proporcionou explicações sobre a história do vinho do Porto e sua região, de maneira primorosa. Ele está absolutamente de parabéns com a qualidade de seu inglês. Concluindo, a cereja do bolo é sem dúvida a simpatia e amabilidade de Orlando e Pedro; distinção e característica portuguesa. Muito obrigada, rapazes.
Roseane Portugal
Super experiência
Sem sombra de dúvidas o melhor tour que fiz no Porto. Itinerário completo, transportes confortáveis, almoço de qualidade, abordagem pedagógica turística impecável e repleta de detalhes. Um passeio completo e que merece cair no gosto de estrangeiros e até mesmo de portugueses, pois, de facto, a região e história Transmontana e de seu empoderado Vale do Douro, por si, valem o destaque e reconhecimento. A prudência, carinho e atenção aos detalhes prestados por Orlando e Pedro, com absoluta certeza, foram as cerejinhas do bolo da viagem - nota mil.
Bruna Maldonado

Excellent tour to see the beautiful Douro valley. Delicious lunch in a stunning setting, beautiful views, lovely wine. Made by the guides Pedro Cortinhal and driver Orlando and their spot on play list and good humour. Highly recommended
Eleanor Bell
Good but should be adults only
It was a good tour, but it was ruined by families with children who were loud and obnoxious. Their parents were also repeatedly late to meet up times and ruined the experience for other people. I also think they should do english only groups as it was quite long listening to the tour in two languages.

We truly enjoyed our day tour of the Douro valley! Beautiful scenery, interesting learning, and excellent wine tasting and lunch. Our guide Emanuel was very friendly, informative and entertaining!

Great experience
Check-in was very hectic as there must have been 150-200 people checking in at the same time. But, we found our group of 12 and we were off. It was nice to stop shortly after leaving Porto in Amarante to see the historic church and walk around in the peaceful town. We were able to grab a coffee and a bite there as well. The tastings were fun, one of which included lunch. The lunch was delicious. The only issue is that lunch was very late, at almost 3 p.m. It would be nice to find a way to have that a little earlier. It was great driving around the Douro Valley and the river cruise was fine, as long as you understand that the boat holds quite a few people. Our guide Francisco entertained us with history and music the entire way to the valley and allowed many to sleep after a long day, wine tastings, and lunch on the way back. All-in-all, I would highly recommend this tour.
Laura
Douro Tour
I would highly recommend this tour to others. The Douro valley is so amazing, words can’t describe its beauty. Tania and Bruno were fabulous and made sure we had a great time. Tania went above and beyond for us ending the tour in a Portuguese song.

Great day out
Went on 6/7/23 with Tiago and driver Antonio A. Informative and entertaining commentary whilst travelling. Interesting vineyard visits including tastings. Lunch exceeded expectations, good food and wine flowed. River cruise was just our group on the boat with humorous commentary from the local captain. Airton on the bus failed but all credit to Living Tours, they provided a replacement whilst we had lunch - well done! We would recommend this trip.

Carolina was fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour for all port wine lovers!
Tina
Wineries great but more like having only a driver than a tour guide
We were one of the last groups to leave because our guide arrived late. Antonio barely spoke during the drive and didn’t show us around any of the areas. We could see other Living Tour guides explaining & walking around with their groups which is how we found the church entrance in Amarante which we initially thought was closed. We also didn’t have lunch until almost 3pm. The wineries themselves were great as was lunch. The driver Silvano did a great job.

Amazing experience with the Duoro valley wine tour
I can recommend the Douro valley winetour. The experience is amazing, and the surroundings are just stunning. Even if you don't drink wine, you should participate in this tour anyway, because you will not find this scenery elsewhere in the world. The portwine we tasted during the tour was amazing! Our guide Marina Silva did a great job as a tourguide and was very funny as well. She both spoke in english and french so all people in the group could understand what she was about to tell. The driver was also great and skilled.

AWESOME TOUR!
My wife and I absolutely LOVED this this tour of the Douro River valley! Our guide, Isabel, was knowledgeable, friendly, spoke 5 languages and really kept everyone engaged! A special shout out to our driver, Jose, who got us to and back safely and with a smile! The wine tours and tastings were fantastic, the country side was beautiful and the trip up and down the river was such a great way to cap the day! We would highly recommend this excursion!!

The tour consisting of 2 wineries visiting was very interesting and worthy. I strongly advise the guide Bruno O. ans our day driver Manuel for this unforgettable experience.

A wonderful experience

excellente organisation
excursion faite le 30 juin. Anabela et Marcos forment une excellente équipe. Anabela tant par sa gentillesse que par la qualité de ses commentaires dont elle n'est pas avare sur tous les sujets, et Marcos par sa conduite irréprochable. Cela nous a permis de nous arrêter dans un village Typique plutôt que sur une aire d'autoroute impersonnelle. Anabela sait accompagner un groupe avec brio pour que tout se passe le mieux. Seule contrainte, respecter les horaires, mais quoi de plus normal. On y gagne en confort. Le déjeuner mériterait une qualité supérieure mais ce n'est pas le but principal de l'excursion.

Great journey !
What a wonderful day with our guide and driver Bruno O. and Manuel ! The visits were interesting and we had a lot of informations from the wineries and from our guide during the drive ! Our guide was always being sure that everyone in our group was satisfied and at ease. The bus was clean and comfortable and the little cruise was nice! Thank you again Bruno and Manuel ! :))
Daniel Têtu
Great day and beautiful tour
Had a great day with Cristian our guide and Marco our driver. Nice air conditioned bus, and well timed rest stops. Cristian gave us some great history lessons about Porto, Duoro valley, the port and wines in portugal. The two winery tours were very informative and tastings + lunch were delicious, with generous portions. The cruise was a nice break to relax.

It was an early start to the day, but Marta's upbeat energy shook off my sleepiness. She is sweet and quite knowledgeable about Portugal's history. Our bus driver was an expert driver who took the winding roads with ease. My 2 friends and I had a wonderful time!

Fantastic day in the Douro Valley
A big shout out to Souza and Tanya… our driver and guide for a nine hour excursion in the Doral Valley. They were extremely professional, full of information, and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour… Combination of winery tastings, four course lunch, and a river boat cruise on the Douro. Fantastic day overall. Five star excursion.
Sonja and Peter Moreira
Outstanding
Marta and Jorge made this tour amazing! Marta is knowledgable and funny. A great host. Jorge is a skilled driver making us feel very safe. The coffee stop in Amarante was a bonus to the tour. Thank you for an wonderful day!

Enjoyable day excursion
The tour was as expected. It would have been good to have snacks with the first tasting. The guide Bruno and driver Silvino were good.
N J Karnac
Douro Valley wine tour
Great day out with Paulo our guide and Paulo our driver. We were picked up from our hotel on time and dropped off at the end of the tour, well worth the small amount extra for that service. Paulo was a good guide giving us lots of information. Coffee /toilet stop was well timed in a pretty place. The wine tours were very good and the lunch with wine was very enjoyable, good food and service. The boat tour was relaxing but a shame there weren’t more outside seats. Mini bus was comfortable and Paulo was a safe driver. Overall a lovely full day.
Julie
Amazing Maria and Silvino
It was an amazing day of Douro valley experience. The greatest value was Maria, our guide who made this day special and shared great stories of Porto, as well as Silvino, our driver who safely led us to all spots. Itinerary is full of unforgetable places to visit, which together with Portuguese specialities tasting, made it an exceptional exerience. Fully recommended.

David need more training
The guide David was not a super helpful tour guide. He took us to a place that was not on the agenda without a sufficient explanation. Once we were all off the bus, he had left 1/2 of the crew behind. We didn't have a lot of information leading up to the winery stops. He was not a very good communicator. We were an older crew that would have appreciated more information and guidance.

Amazing wine tour -Douro Valley
We had an amazing time with our guide Pedro Cortinhal and our driver Paulo. We learned a lot about the region and the porto wine. Pedro went the extra mile to show us the ins and outs of Amarante. The tastings were great. We loved the lunch and the wine pairings. The boat cruse was very scenic and calm. Great value for money.

Pedro and Mr Paulo are the best and we had a wonderful day trip with them to the Duoro Valley. Pedro is a very knowledgeable tour guide and went the extra mile to make it fun, not to mention the music! Mr Paulo is a very skilled driver and navigated us through some beautiful terrain.

Amazing trip to Duoao Valley
Ricardo and Juao made this an unforgettable journey. I'd never ground the opportunity to explore this area AND have such pleasant company. Ricardo provided me with a lot of information a well as exciting entertainment. He is a professional. He knows what he is about and how to give everyone a once in a lifetime experience. I'd let him guide me anywhere

Rachel Wilford
This was a great tour
Six adults took this tour in late May 2023. It was one of the highlights of our 10 day Portugal Trip. The guide, Maria, and driver, Manuel, were awesome. They took us to Amarante first, a very pleasant stop. Then on to the wineries. The lunch at the first winery was one of the best meals we had in Portugal. Everyone in the group rated it in the top 3...and all the meals we had in Portugal were excellent. The wines were great. In fact we bought several bottles to bring home as we can't find the wines in Colorado. Overall, a great choice for a visit to the Douro region. The river cruise gives you a wonderful view of all the vineyards.
Bryan
Great day out
Picked up from hotel on time. Friendly welcome from Marta. The day was very full. First stop was for coffee (and cake!) with advice from Marta. On to first vineyard where we enjoyed welcoming glass of Muscadet followed by informative tour with local guide. Thence, lunch which was much better than might be expected from a ‘package’. Plenty of wine accompanied meal. Cruise on river might be considered the weak link in the tour although it was a pleasant and relaxing trip. Second vineyard tour was more brief. Good atmosphere engendered by Marta. Felt safe and comfortable with Lucas at the wheel.

Best. Tour. Ever.
My husband & I booked this tour for our first full day in Porto, and it did not disappoint. Pedro was our guide and Sylvano was our driver. They were kind, engaging, knowledgeable, and joyful. We loved the tastings, of course, but the Douro Valley was the real star. It was more beautiful and scenic than we could have imagined. THANK YOU for a lovely experience.
Rhonda
Douro wine tour
Tania and Davis were great! The tour was well planed and on time. We did run short on time our last wine tour but we still had time to enjoy the tour and wine tasting! The guides were friendly and happy to answer any questions. For the price, I think it is a great value. This was my first wine tour and looking forward to my second one! Thank you!
David
Great Experience
The Douro Valley trip was fantastic, thanks to our amazing guide José. We had the opportunity to explore the stunning Douro Valley and enjoyed two port tastings, accompanied by detailed explanations of the port-making processes. The experience was informative and engaging. The lunch provided during the tour was delicious, offering a variety of tasty dishes and wines. Overall, it was a memorable trip that allowed us to appreciate the beauty of the region and gain a deeper understanding of its rich winemaking heritage.
Madlen
Awesome Day Trip From Porto!
Our guide Imanel and bus driver Manuel were both awesome! We had a wonderful day out, and enjoyed the wineries and had a delicious lunch. River cruise was OK (would have been better on an open boat- there wasn’t enough room for everyone to sit outside and it was hot inside). Would definitely recommend.

Lindo día
Hice este tour el viernes 02 Jun 2023. Mi guia fue Pedro y el conductor Silva. Pasamos un dia super agradable. La primera parada fue en un pueblo encantador llamado Amaranto y Pedro te relata todas las curiosidades del pueblo. Luego fuimos al primer viñedo, el cual fue mi favorito de toda la experiencia, y nos explicaron cómo degustar y probamos 3 vinos, en ese mismo viñedo almorzamos y la verdad la comida deja mucho que desear, es regular, pero al menos con la compañía y camaradería del grupo uno igual la pasa bien. Después seguimos al segundo viñedo donde te explican un poco sobre las plantas de uvas y tambien te dan 3 vinos a degustar. Después seguimos al crucero por el rio que fue una linda experiencia, no se mueve para nada así que es seguro incluso si eres de los que marea!
Sofia
Geat tour to Douro Valley
Thank you for a geat tour to Douro Valley. Nice food and great wine. A special thanks to our fantastic guide Pedro Cortinhal and driver Mr. Silva. I think the boat trip could have been more interesting and infomative.
Irene
Excellent
Great day out even with the rain! Emanuel kept us informed and passed on local info and interesting tidbits with lots of humour thrown in. Manuel the driver made me feel I was in safe hands and I also liked the playlist! Lunch stop was tasty and we upped the Port Tasting with a cheese board and chilli chocolate at a very reasonable price. The lodge itself was very pretty with all the wisteria pods and our vineyard guide was informative and funny. The boat ride was take it or leave it for me, the smell of fuel got to me a bit but the two important people- captain and barman - were everything they should be. As ever the tour was made by the people we met and the fun and laughs that spring from that. Try it!
Deb
It was what it said on the tin
Efficient friendly service from the staff at the office, the lunch and boat trip were as we expected, the port tasting was good, the french guide at Crofts was good, Emanuel our guide and Manuel our driver were both very good. If anyone has scored low in my opinion they chose the wrong trip for them.

Wonderful Tour of Douro
Had a wonderful experience with Tonia and Jose (our driver)! Tanya was super friendly and welcoming. Very smooth ride to Douro Valley. We visited 2 wineries to taste their port and had lunch at the first winery. The boat tour offers some wonderful views. Definitely recommend doing this day trip to anyone visiting Portugal.
Olivia N
Wonderful and relaxing tour
Ricardo guided us on a long 10 hour trip to the Douro Valley. The views by mini bus and boat were both superb. We tried many different types of wine and learned more about the wine process at both quintas. Most of the wines are on the sweet side. The lunch was delicious, but nothing amazing. We fully enjoyed the tour. Also thanks to Paulo for being an amazing driver on such narrow roads with tight turns.

El mejor tour que hicimos
Hermoso viaje! Excelente la Guía..María fue súper amena en sus explicaciones . El recorrido fantástico y las degustaciones muy buenas. Ni hablar del recibimiento en las bodegas y el almuerzo. Todo excelente!! Capitulo aparte para el chofer Souza. Muy muy bueno! Gracias por este hermoso día que pasamos.

Great tour with great guide!
My wife and I had a lovely day touring the Douro valley. The lunch was very tasty, the winery visit was very good in a hot sunny afternoon and to cap the day in style, a very smooth ride through the Douro river in a boat. Our special thanks to our guide Pedro Cardoso who was very caring and super thoughtful, he provided us with a lot of great info and many tips of restaurants to enjoy and further get to know the region of Porto. Recommend it!
Marcos and Marina
Fantastic Views!
Tania is such an amazing guide! She is so warm, and speaks with so much passion and goes out of her way to make sure you’re safe and having fun. Wasn’t a fan of the wine, or the lunch, and there is no cheese or olive oil tastings (not Tania’s fault) but it was still such an incredible experience! Would definitely recommend
Tajha Skeen
Wonderful Tour
What a wonderful day spent with family and an outstanding tour guide and driver. Alexandre and Paulo took us on a fun tour of exciting views and two lovely wineries. Alex couldn't have been any more informative and nice. Paulo was an exceptional driver and kept us safe on all those twisty and winding roads through the mountain sides. Oh and did I mention the wine tasting and lunch were wonderful as well. The river boat cruise was an added delight to top off our day. Must experience if ever in Porto.

Fantastic day with Maria and Tiago
The tour provided the perfect opportunity to experience the Douro Valley. Tiago is an amazing driver and Maria was knowledgeable, funny, and energetic. The two of them are the perfect pair!
Michelle and Vernon
Great way to see the Douro Valley
I don't generally like tours, as I find them rushed and impersonal, but this small tour was worth the day we spent. The tour guide was outstanding and it was a very fun and even educational day. The lunch included at the winery was well beyond what I expected and they were able to accommodate dietary restrictions with ease. Overall it was very worth the money and time spent!
Chelsea

Great Douro Valley Tour
Having been part of a small tour the day before, I was a bit nonplussed to see the crowd that climbed into our tour bus. However, it was not a problem. The team of Anabela (guide) and Joāo (driver) knew what they were doing, and ensured we all had a great day. Anabela described the sights along the route, and when we visited wineries she handed us off to knowledgeable guides. The first winery was a bit of a surprise, Adage Cooperative De Favaios, as they make Muscatel wines using the port method. The results were exceedingly good, as was the lunch we enjoyed there. The second winery was a port Quinta, and while the tour was not so comprehensive it covered the essentials and the tasting was enjoyable. All in all, a good day that included a 40-minute boat ride that offered great views of the steep terracing of the valley. I would recommend it to anyone with a passing interest in wine.

Best tour!
We had a tour to Duoro Region. All I can say is that we enjoyed every second of it! Best tour guide Maria, so energetic and informative. It wouldn't be the same without her ❤️ thank you very much

Douro valley tour with winery and river boat ride
The Douro valley tour was excellent we had great day. Paul is really good guide and Jose is very safe driver. They exactly knew where to stop the bus for good views of Douro valley. Winery tour was excellent with excellent food and wine that was served. We enjoyed the river boat ride. Only one thing I would like to mention here is the boat ride was supposed to be an hour long but actually it was only 30 min long. The second winery tour was good too. Overall it was a pleasant experience and would highly recommend this tour.

Spring visit to Porto
We had a great time on this beautiful tour of the Douro Valley. We spent the day with Tanya and Mike. Wow what a pleasure. Mike did an excellent job driving the bus for the day. We definitely felt very safe. Tanya is a super good tour guide giving us great information and always with a smile. She even sang us a traditional Portugese song at the end. Bringing some to tears. Such pride for her country. The tour itself was great with beautiful scenery, port, wine and a nice lunch. Definitely a 10/10 Thanks

Lindo!
A região do Douro é linda e vale muito a visita, sobretudo para aqueles que gostam de vinhos. As vinícolas que visitamos foram excelentes. O almoço foi bem simples se comparado aos almoços das visitações em vinícolas do Brasil, mas estava bem feito (tipo comida caseira). Felipe e Paulo nos conduziram muito bem, explicaram tudo sobre a região e tiraram as nossas dúvidas. Nos sentimos seguros durante toda a viagem. Grata pela experiência!!

Wonderful day in Douro Valley
We had a perfect day in Douro Valley with Valdemar and Claudio. Valdemar is an excellent guide who shortened drive to Douro valley with interesting and funny facts. Our driver Claudio is a perfect driver, always with a smile on his face. The trip to Douro valley is highly recommended due to its wonderful landscape, the interesting visits to the Portwine manufacturers and the nice boat trip! We also loved the stop in Amarante. The friendliness and the knowledge of Valdemar and Claudio made it a perfect experience!

Good way to see the Douro Valley
This is a good way to get out to see the Douro Valley. One of the vineyards we went to was much better than the other. The first one felt like a tourist trap. Lunch was good with a lot of food and wine. The boat tour, which I was looking forward to the most, was very lackluster. Our guide was just ok, a bit hard to understand at times. There were about 25 people on the tour, bigger than I expected.

Fun and delicious!
I never book tours - I prefer to save money and arrange everything myself, usually saving half. But after researching, it turns out this tour is totally affordable! We saw so much more of the Douro Valley rather then taking the train from Porto. We enjoyed delicious wines and ports, rode in a comfy minibus and were really taken care of by Castro and Silvestri our driver. Muito obrigada for a fun day!!
Cindy
Great day out
We were a party of five and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our day. Castro kept us entertained and was also very knowledgeable. A great blend of fun and tasting.

Douro Valley bus tour
My wife and I with another couple just experienced a wonderful, awesome Douro Valley wine tour with our very friendly and knowledgeable Tour Guide ''Pedro'' & Great Chauffeur ''Micheal'' (25 years of bus driving experience). Pedro was very kind and offered great service, answered all our questions in both french & english and toke very good care of all his visitors with a bus load of about 30 people. he toke heads counts after every stop. Livingtours (in red) are the ones to take for any tours or activities that you might be looking for. DO NOT USE ''Tourism Point'' (logo in bleu).TOURISM POINT ARE SCAM FOR CHANGING AN EXTRA 4 Euros more for every activity. You may get a cheaper price with the Livingtours for all tours and activities example the ''Fado'' is 17.00 Euros BUT Tourism Point change you 21.00. AVOID THEM AT ALL COST.

A day to remember

Douro Valley Wine Tour
We had a terrific time on the wine tour. We were impressed with the quality of your bus, your driver Lucas was a complete professional, your guide Rosa was most excellent. The wineries we toured had very professional staffs. We learned alot about wine making we had not known about before from other tours. The lunch provided was excellent with generous amounts of very good wine. The boat trip on the Douro River was a fun addition to the day. Our guide Rosa was the perfect host. She is a very kind person. She was well prepared and managed the day flawlessly. I highly recommend Living Tours.

À tour that is worth the cost
We spended a very nice day accompanied by Jose and Tiago in the Douro Valley. Very confortable little bus, fun stops, good food and of course, nice tastings of Porto, white and red wines of the region. We also enjoyed the tour on the Douro river, allowing us to take plenty of photos. All the comments and explanations of Jose ( in english and french!) were relevant. We would do it again !

We had a great day with Rui as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Rui even let our group pick the music for the ride back! Highly recommend Rui for future tours!!!

Douro Valley 2 wineries
Our guide Paul and driver Tiago were exemplary 'ambassadors' for Living Tours. Paul was safe and efficient with his driving getting us to different destinations with the minimum of fuss. Paul had comprehensive knowledge not only of the wine making region but also of relevant history in Portugal and Oporto. Paul meshed all this info' together with ease and a relaxing, at times, humorous delivery. No hard sell at the wineries to buy their port wine. The boat trip was something of a non-event though relaxing. Paul and Tiago brilliant.

A day well spent!
We had Tanya as our guide and Tiago as our driver. He was an excellent driver and we felt complete safe the entire trip, even along the cliffs in Douro Valley. Tanya was fun, knowledgeable and attentive. It was a long day but filled with a great experience. I recommend this company.
Marla
can be much better
The tour is nice overall and I don't think it's too overpriced if organised well, but expected a better experience for the price. Mainly, the timing was poor. The lunch was far from a local experience (good starter but a very poor dry chicken and soggy oven chips for a main course!!) - this was followed by a boat tour and it seemed a bit rushed and heavy to go on the boat after lunch. The 2nd vineyard was nicer but in the description it says 'Three wines, cheese, and olive oil tastings'. there were no cheeses or olive oil tasting and no explanation of why! Once this was over we has to rush to the transport to get back on time as the tour guide was panicked we'd arrive late so people felt a bit rushed all in all. the valley itself is beautiful and worth visiting. maybe a rental car and a wine tour booking does the trick though.

Great tour!
My partner and I really enjoyed this tour! Martin was a wonderful guide and driver, and I really enjoyed seeing more of the Douro Valley and the interior of the country. There is some limited support for dietary restrictions - they were able to handle a vegetarian and a gluten sensitive individual in my small group, but I recommend checking ahead to make sure you will be able to eat the lunch at the winery!

Wine Tour in Douro Valley
We really enjoyed every minute of this tour on Wednesday 29 March 2023 and strongly recommend it. Our guide, Jose Pereira was brilliant and he contributed so much to this lovely day, by giving us his excellent knowledge on the history of Porto, the surrounding region, 'The Douro Valley' and wine production. All the stops were really interesting and not rushed. The lunch at the wine estate in Sabrosa was very good and in beautiful surroundings. The boat trip on The Douro river was about the correct duration and along a beautiful part of the river.
Ray Metcalfe
Awesome experience!
Maria and Jose did an amazing job! This tour was full of beautiful views and sights, delicious food, great wine tasting, and cultural learning. I highly recommend this tour to everyone, just make sure you don't have anything else planned for the day!
Alena
Worth it!
I had Maria as my tour guide and Jose as a driver. Maria also had 2 trainees (Diogo and Rui) who were absolute fun to talk with! Maria was great and made everyone feel welcomed and excited to be on the tour. She let us stop at an overlook of the Duoro Valley with the river, and we got great photos. She was very interactive and made sure everyone stayed with the group. Jose was a fantastic driver and got us everywhere safe. The first winery had a very intense port tasting guide. We also got lunch here. The food was great! We also got to try one red and one white wine they make there. The second winery was further into the valley and still provided three samples of port. We also were able to hear more about the history of their grapes and what it meant to be part of the UNESCO world heritage site. We then went on the boat ride. It felt short, but we got to see amazing views of the Duoro Valley and river. Only thing I would have loved to have would be wifi on the bus. I think it did force everyone on the bus to interact though and still made it very fun! Definitely worth the money for the experience and how much you get out of it!

Fab tour
We lived the wine tour. The guiding by Marina was great. Each stop was enjoyable. The winery visits offered a lot of background to Port wine and the region. Boat trip was relaxing. Food was good quite in a great location
Paul
Wine tasting tour
We really enjoyed our tour in the Duoro valley. The tour was very well organised and the guide and bus driver were very professional and friendly and the bus was very comfortable and modern. The tour itself was very relaxing and everyone involved at the vineyards and wineries were very well informed. The scenery is stunning and the lunch was very nice. We happened to be in a very sociable, multi-national group but everyone spoke English and got along well which made this tour very enjoyable.
Sadie Boylan
Great experience
We had a great time with Paulo and Manuel as our tour guides in March 2023. They were very attentive to our needs and questions, and they did a great job transporting us and sharing some fun facts and history in between the wineries. This tour was a nice way to sample a variety of different port wines of varying ages/styles. The scenery on the drive and river cruise was beautiful as well.
Max
Great trip!
Great trip, lots to see and do; tasty lunch with great wines. Christian kept us well informed with interesting information.

We took this wonderful tour in January 2023 with André. He was a warm, personable and knowledgeable guide, and the tour was well designed, informative and much fun. We saw a small, family run winery with lots of personality where a delicious lunch was served -- and visited a larger, more corporate producer. A river cruise in there too, and a stop at a small town along the way. We somehow had all English speakers with the exception of a couple who spoke Spanish, but André flawlessly moved between languages and effortlessly guided us enthusiastically through the day. Highly recommended, and many thanks to a great guide who clearly loves his country (as do we!!).

Room for improvement
The beginning of the day felt like a cattle call as we were herded into groups like farm animals. Immediately there was confusion as we had 4 people from the wrong group on our bus. I didn’t feel like the itinerary was explained well. The first item on the itinerary was a 30min break at a gas station which was too long. Our bus ride had too much talking because the guide had to repeat everything in English and Portuguese. The tours were cheesy with animatronics. The tastings had very little port wine, and I still don’t know much about the differences in port. Douro valley was nonetheless beautiful.

Remarkable experience with Jessica and Tony
Did the Duoro valley day trip with Jessica and Tony who both just did a wonderful job... not only with the guiding and driving but also going the extra mile to create such a joyful and warm environment during the entire trip. Bravo to both !! The trip itself was a really good trip not to be missed when in Porto !!
Maaran
Once In A Lifetime
We booked this tour based on a recommendation from Just Be Out's channel on YouTube. The couple stated that we would not regret it. We do not!!! It was exceptional! The views, the wineries, the wine and the experience cannot be beat. Jessica was our tour guide and she was AMAZING. She had a great wealth of knowledge, funny and on the nose music choices that went very well with her presentation and a great balance between talking and letting the scenery talk. She was also very kind. A large group for about 10 people were 30 minutes late to the bus but she waited for them and really apologized to our group. However, I was glad to see that she waited, otherwise those people would have missed out on this unbelievable experience. Even with the wait, we did not miss out on any parts! Silvano, our driver, was in a word -A One!! I could not believe how well he drove through those mountains! Big, big props to him! Please book this tour! I would recommend it for toward the end of your trip. It will honestly be difficult for anything to top or come close to it.

Astonishing, with an exceptional guide
We loved every single part of the trip, especially the first winery and the view of the valley. Special shout-out to Joáo G., who made an amazing trip even better with his excellent knowledge and humour!
Alessandro
Excellent!
Amazing wine-testing tour! Yesterday we took this trip. It seems a little pricey at the beginning but it is worth every penny. The most beautiful landscapes of the Duero Valley. Learning about the Porto wine, its production, and its special qualities were very entertaining. The guides Waldemar and Pedro were very professional, agreeable, and polite. They went out of their way to please the group. One could tell they were enjoying the work. Amazing driving skills and I felt safe all the way. Highly recommended tour.

A fantastic trip, with minor caveats
We were so lucky to have absolutely brilliant weather on our day trip, 16th February, beautiful blue skies and increasing warmth through the day added to the enjoyment. The chance to explore the wonderful Douro Valley and to speak with knowledgeable wine producers was thoroughly enjoyable as of course was the chance to taste a range of Port Wines. Our Guide (Francisco), was helpful and pleasant but I do wish that at times he slowed down on his narration delivery as it was not always easy to catch what he was saying - and I am a native English speaker so I imagine even more difficult for those people where English is not their first language. My other gripe was about meeting my allergy needs - I gave plenty of notice for Gluten Free (I am coeliac) vegetarian, but for lunch I was given the same pasta dish as everyone else and so I did not feel I could risk eating this. I was not given any Gluten Free bread and no arrangements had been made to provide an alternative dessert other than an orange. I did feel somewhat let down in this regard and so a warning to other people who might have similar allergy issues.
Joan Adams
Fantastic Day
We rate this a Five star review, in part because in all the tours we have taken, Mario was by far the best guide we have had. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had an abundance of information to to share with us. He has a great sense of humour and a warm, friendly personality. He has quite the repertoire in his taste of music, something for everyone to enjoy. The place we stopped along the way Amarante, was an unexpected highlight. The town is quaint & scenic. The story Mario told of the priest & the symbolic wedding cake gave everyone a good chuckle. The tasting and tour guide (unfortunately I can’t remember her name) at the first winery was our favourite; very intimate and informative. Our lunch here was beautifully set, very tasty and filling. The tour guide and tastings at the second, more commercial winery was also very good. Our river cruise was very scenic & pleasant and provided some time to interact with other members of our group. We had an unbeatable experience in Porto, and the day spent on this trip was truly one of the best thanks to our guide Mario & driver Jose.
Stacy & Roy
SUPER
we had a fantastic day trip to Douro valley. Mario was an excellent guide who learned us a lot.. he had a lot of experience and was very funny. He speaks English and French fluently. Together with the driver Manuel they were excellent in showing us little details about the tour. We would surely recommend this day trip! Thanks to Mario and Manuel for showing us around.

Excelent Experience
The tour was very nice, the places visited very beutiful and the guide Daniel was very friendly and new a lot about the route.
Matheus
Great Experience
We were guided by Paulo Castro. The whole tour was a very nice experience, especially because of Castro. He made sure that we had a good time with his jovial nature and his readiness to help. The ride was thoroughly enjoyable, although by the end of it we were quite tired, probably also from all the wine ;) The lunch was a bit rushed and we would have appreciated having some more time to eat, but otherwise we loved the whole experience.
Aniket
Very good
Was very enjoyable and well worth it. Mario was excellent tour guide

Fabulous
Great day and Mario Piuto made the whole day extra special with his knowledge,music and humour. Obrigado Mario.
Glennis Reed
A great day
This tour to the stunning Douro wine region was excellent. The tour guide Mário was informative, friendly and helpful through the whole tour. The stops were leisurely and the lunch was enjoyable plus the wine and port tastings very interesting. The tour gave me an appreciation of the history of wine and port in Porto.
Brian
WOW!!
We had the best time on the wine tour of the Duoro Valley wine country with Paulo Castro (aka Castro)! The small group experience made for an intimate tour, and Castro was so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire journey. We loved the area and enjoyed the wine tastings but were the most impressed with how great of a tour guide Castro was. We left feeling like we understood the region (and Portugal overall) while having a blast the entire time. Castro has great music taste and kept us to our schedule without ever rushing us or making us feel like we were constantly moving. Highly, highly, highly recommend this experience!
Andrea M
Wine Tour - Douro Valley
It was a great tour where we got to admire the scenery both on road and on the boat. The tastings were so well done too. The one who made the tour even more interesting was the tour guide, Anabela. She is such a nice woman and she knows her subject well. Thank you for that great moment and I will highly recommend Anabela for french speaking tours.
Joelle DS
Fantastic!
Five star review, in part because in all the travels and tours I’ve taken, Felipe was by far the best guide I’ve ever had. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had endless context and information to provide us, but he also let us do a bit of “choose your own adventure” to decide if we wanted more knowledge or more rest along the beautiful drive. His humor and geniality created such a warm environment that allowed all of us on the trip to become open and friendly quite quickly. The place we stopped along the way (Amarante?) to the Valley was an unexpected highlight, and the scenery in the Valley breathtaking. Lunch at the first winery was great, and the tour, guide and tastings at the second even better. I had an unbeatable experience in Porto, and the day spent on this trip was truly one of the best. Go!
Sarah
Excellent
We had an incredible tour of the Douro Valley along with the vineyards, wineries, and boat tour. Tiago was an excellant guide. Our bus driver was Joao, and he was wonderful. Great tour and great experience. A must do experience in Porto!!! Enjoy all the Port Wine with a great guide!! REQUEST TIAGO!!

A very enjoyable day, lots of information from our guide Thiago. Very skillful driver, Manuel
Alexandra Agius
Great introduction to port and Douro Valley
Some friends and I did this tour on our recent trip to Porto. Maria was an excellent guide, sharing lots of interesting history, context, and information about not just the Douro Valley, but Porto and the areas we passed along the way as well. As a bonus, because our tour was on Christmas Eve, we got to learn about Portuguese Christmas traditions. Maria and Tony also made the day a lot of fun while shepherding us throughout the day! I really enjoyed learning from the makers at the two wineries we visited, each offering something unique to the experience. Port isn’t my favorite overall, but it was fun to learn more about it and experience it where it is made.

Wine Tour in Duoro Valley
The tour itself was well designed and the scenery, the visits to the wineries, the river boat tour and the lunch were all great. What was really disappointing is our tour guide (Antonio) had zero interest in the tour. At each stop he would just say a couple of sentences and then leave us on our own. The most common thing he would say "we are running late, we need to get in the bus for our next stop". By contrast, the other guides from Livingtours who were in charge of the other buses seemed to be interacting with the guests and explaining everything to them. I do not know why a tour guide would be completely uninterested in communication. My recommendation - sign up for this tour but let the company know that you do not want Antonio as your tour guide.

Great tour of the area!
Could use a little more samples (maybe a bottle on the boat), but great way to see the area. Loved our guide and driver.

A Christmas Eve like no other
My wife and I did the wine tour in Douro Valley on Christmas Eve and it was the perfect way to spend the holidays in Portugal. We experienced several great port wines, explored beautiful vineyards and ended the day with a relaxing boat ride. Maria brought an infectious positive energy from the very being that radiated throughout the day and Santa Tony Claus was the best driver/DJ. I would absolutely recommend this tour for a great day trip around the Douro Valley. Merry Christmas!!
Ashley
Incredible
This tour is full of information, fun, wine and quality! I experienced more than I could have imagined. So much knowledge shared about the vineyards. Wonderful cities visited as well as the history shared. Amazing port wine tastings with proper technique. Beautiful scenery. Delicious lunch served in style. Well worth the cost and time well spent! Thank you Harina.
Shannon Damazio
Incredible experience!
David our guide was amazing. He was so informative, kind and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond! We had the most amazing meal, delicious wine and Port. The guide William at the Croft vineyard was wonderful, taught us everything and more. The boat cruise was so much fun! Beautiful views. A once in a lifetime experience!

Douro Valley Wine Tour and lunch
Excellent trip, tour guide provided just the right amount of information to maintain everyone’s interest. Organisation was first class and the wineries and meal were great. In addition a member of my group left their mobile on the bus and the company made great effort to ensure safe return. I would highly recommend this tour.

Efficient and Effective tour to Douro Valley
Our experience with David was great, he made our journey enjoyable and fruitful. The quality of the providers was also great, normally you'll get normal lunch, but the presentation and food they served us were incredible. Special kudos to David our tour guide, he left a great experience for us. Thanks!

Duero Valley
We had a fabulous day on our wine tour of the Duero Valley ( tastings, lunch and river cruise). Martin was the perfect host! Despite the rainy weather, we loved the port, wines, scenery and the information about the area. I would highly recommend this tour and requesting Martin as your guide.

Michèle
Great tour to the Douro valley!
We had a great day to the Douro valley. During the first visit we also had a lunch, four courses! (Soup, fish, meat and a delicious dessert) with every course there was a wine. The next stop was at a lovely village nearby the Douro river. After a short tour we had three Port wines to taste. Afterwords the boat was waiting for us to make a tour at the river. Our guide, Anabela, told a lot about the region en their wines. It was a great experience!

Excellent day and super well-organized. Tiago was amazing and made sure everything was great. Thank you to Esteves for doing all the driving! Well worth the day out. Spectacular views, great lunch and of course great tastings at both places.

Porto Douro Valley
We had a great experience. Never knew making Porto was this difficult and regulated as such. Tour was very informative, host Tiago, was pretty knowledgeable and humorous at times. Porto tasting was excellent and so was lunch,, full course meal. Our driver Jose, kept everyone safe.
Frank&lisa
Great Tour of the Douro Valley
Fantastic tour of the Duoro Valley wine country with Paulo Castro. First of all, the scenery was beautiful, the winery visits & lunch were delicious & the cruise was fun. It was probably my favorite tour of all that I took. Most of all, I wanted to tell you what a thoughtful, considerate, fun, amusing & informative guide Paulo Castro was. In every way, he went above & beyond the norm. I had injured my knee a couple of days before & was on crutches. In every way, he was accommodating & helpful. I cannot say enough about his thoughtfulness. He did everything from opening doors for me, parking closely, & keeping a close eye on me to running & taking some beautiful pictures for me. Not only that, he kept us laughing & made the journey lots of fun with his playlists of oldies that we all knew & sang. It was such a fun day made even nicer with the help of Castro! You’ve got an excellent man there!
Linda
Wonderful day of wine and vistas
Awesome tour, beautiful scenery and great food, tastings and activities. It was a long day but not too tiring. Thanks heaps to our guide Valdevar and driver Lucas.

Anna
Tutto al top
Abbiamo svolto l'escursione sulla valle in data 09/07/22 con visita alle due cantine e la nostra guida Marina è stata eccezionale. Ci ha spiegato i diversi metodi di produzione del vino da tavola, piuttosto che del vino verde ( tipico di Porto) e ancora del famigerato Porto. Il viaggio in pullman sotto la guida di Elisabetta è stato piacevole e confortevole. Tour davvero consigliatissimo.
Stanislao
Douro Valley tour
We did Douro Valley Tour in july. Our guide Tiago had a lot to tell us about Portugal, it´s history, interesting things, lot about the wine production, so we didn´t have time to be bored. We visited a beautiful city of Amarante on the way to the valley, then visited a winery where we had a great lunch with wine tasting. Next was a Douro river boat tour - the weather was really hot, we could appriciate the people who work in these conditions in the valley. Then we did another tasting in a different winery, bought some local port wine and went back to Porto. Our driver Manuel transported us safely. Thank you guys :)
Marek Duranský

Excellent tour 19/7/22 thanks to guide Tingo and driver Dario
One of the best tours- have done many but I would rate it the best so far. Nuno Mendes our tour guide was amazing telling us all about the wine region, played beautiful Fada music and the tour included food, river cruise and wine tasting- true value for money
Hema
Great Tour. Greta guides Highly recommended
Very interesting and entertaining trip up the Douro Valley with great tour guide who kept everything running smoothly and ensuring it was enjoyable. Booked a trip for 6 pax and travelled in 28 seater bus. Full tour but trip ensured it was manageable. Regular stops kept it interesting at all ties. Great lunch location. Wine tour good value. River cruise picturesque. Joanne & Antonio kept things lively and fun at all times highly recommended.

EXCELENTE EXPERIENCIA
Todo fue excelente. El tour salio puntual, con una cantidad moderada de personas, lo que brinda una experiencia personalizada. El guia Valdemar fue muy amable. Los viñedos divinos, la atencion excelente. El recorrido en el crucero fue preciso para no aburrinos y admirar lo bello del paisaje.
Olga Pereira
Excellent trip
We had such a lovely day with Antonio B, he showed us some spectacular view points. The food was delicious, and the port tasting was good. It was wonderful to be in the small minivan rather than a big coach, as we got to all the places without all the crowds! We would really recommend this trip.
Harriet C
Wonderful tour
Totally worth it! Tour guide Anna was fantastic. Great scenery and wonderful wine - how can you not enjoy. A fantastic lunch was also provided. This tour is a must to see the Duro Valley!
Sandra
Lovely tour!
Was much looking forward to this trip and it didn't disappoint! Beautiful views of the Douro Valley throughout the drive and boat ride. Especially colourful at this time of year (Autumn). We stopped for 30mins on the way to the little town of Amarante that had a nice view over the river. Lovely and lively wine tasting at Casa dos Barros, beautiful setting and superb port tasting! And a cute cat! The owner gave a great presentation and kept us entertained! An amazing place. We then had a nice enough lunch there which was accompanied with white and red wine to taste. Onwards to the boat ride on the Douro which was very calm and stunning views to be enjoyed. We then visited the second and last tasting at the large Croft estate. Again lovely tastings, we requested a cheese board which was served at a small cost of €10, highly recommend it to enjoy the session more! All together a lovely and fun experience, our guide Nuno was very friendly and professional, giving us information about the areas we passed along the way and of course Douro and it's port making history! Manuel was our bus driver and was also very pleasant. As a solo traveller I'd highly recommend this group to tour with. I'd previously booked on 2 others via big tour sites that was then instantly cancelled as I was only 1 person! So this is perfect, thankyou for a great and memorable experience!

Excellent Trip!!
It was a great tour thanks to the amazing landscape and great quide - Pedro. I have made many photos and for sure the trip will stay in my heart for a long time. Also our quide Pedro was amazing. He gave us many local informations and he had a great sense of humor. The trip was very structurized and last but not least tasted wine was delicious ! I strongly recomend the trip, one of the best choice!
Joanna from Poland
Great tour
This tour is totally worth the money! I highly recommend. It's all day and you learn a lot and see beautiful views. Lunch is included overlooking the wineries and you get to try a variety of ports!
Aya
Winetour
The tour was great especially because of the amazing landscape! You shouldn’t miss it!! Agosto (the owner of the first vineyard) was great! He created a fun atmosphere and answered every question. The lady from the second wine yard also told us very interesting thing which was a great addition to the previous information. Unfortunately she seemed a bit in a rush and did the presentation very fast. Still she was open questioning. What I didn’t like at all was our tourguide (Pietro) during the long bus ride. He wasn’t motivated at all. Ran ahead of the group and started talking when half of the group hadn’t even gotten there. I mean when you pay that much you should be able to expect a friendly and considerate Guide. Moreover the information he provided was just random, no structure. He just pointed out what came to his mind during the ride (speed limit 100 kmh, there is a Harley David store, here is a restaurant (he couldn’t even answer the name of the restaurant when asked). It seemed like he was not prepared at all. I was expecting some short information about the country, food, history language, The Valley etc. We were really disappointed in him because we felt like everyone there could’ve given a better tour after having done a walking tour through Porto. So we didn’t give (the expected) tips to our bus guide. But apart from the bus ride the tour was really a unique experience.
Winetour
Great experience
We've been on various wine tours before and felt the day's structure was v. well balanced with a great combination of tastings, a delicious lunch (with further wine to try) and time to soak in the Douro Valley, plus a quick stopover to stretch our legs in a local town with a picturesque church. In addition, Pedro was a great guide for the day - good fun and very informative of the region. In short, it was a great day, we tried some fantastic wines and saw a beautiful part of the country and... the balance they struck meant we didn't arrive back in Porto with a hangover!
James Pryar
EXCELLENT!!
I agree with Alan's review 100%. Everything was a delight on this tour and it's by far the best tour I've taken. Marina is a SUPERB tour guide and Lucas navigated those highways and steep hilly roads as the true pro he is. Go on this tour if you can. You won't be disappointed. The food, the wines, the cruise..... Fantastic!!!!!!!!
Barry
Merci Sylvia!!
Cette journée était géniale! Nous souhaitions faire une « pause » de la ville et nous n’avons pas été déçus! Notre guide a été super! Elle nous a guidé tout le long de la journée et a parfaitement rythmé les différents temps forts comme les plus calmes. Les visites de caves et dégustations de Porto se sont déroulées dans des lieux d’exception et commentés par des professionnels expérimentés et accueillants. Le cadre était parfait en partant du confort du bus jusqu’au menu du déjeuner! Le clou du spectacle s’achevant sur une heure de traversée le long du Douro… Patrimoine de l’Unesco… absolument magnifique! Encore merci pour cette belle aventure Sylvia!

Un grand merci à Sylvia et Adriano pour cette superbe journée. Commentaires, visites, repas tout était excellent.
Mireille
Great and fun tour
The tour was interesting and informative, our guide Silvia was super friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver Cláudio was really careful with all the curves on the way which made me feel safe and relaxed (well, the fun music and wine tasting also helped). Lunch was delicious and the views incredible. I totally recommend this tour.
Marina
Impressive tour experience
Our guide Joana had an astounding energy and presence in three languages and made the day intensely memorable. In fact, everyone with whom we interacted (driver Lucas, for example) were very solicitous, unhurried (in a good way) and positive. True star of the show was the landscape.
Ben
Excellent guide, driver, wine, and scenery
The pace, wineries, food, and river tour were all very enjoyable, and they made for a great time for my wife and I. We highly recommend it. Marina, our guide, and Lucas, our driver, are excellent at what they do. Obrigado!
Alan
Excellent choice
It was an amazing experience. Our guide Joana explained us everything about the history, geography, wine production ... She was professional, helpful and fun at the same time. The wineries were both excellent, all the people we met were very nice. A must see if you are in Porto.
Deana
Fantastic (Lucky Enough Private) Tour!
I must say that it was something we shouldn't miss and that we didn't! We ended up having the tour on a Sunday morning where there were no other participants so we ended up having it in a private fashion. First, we stopped at some small towns to learn about the history of the Duoro Valley and what it represents for Portugal, then stopped at a very nice mansion/hotel that is located within the vineyards of a wine producer and had our first tasting of Porto there. We also had lunch there and tasted their own wines! After this, we ended up having our cruise in the valley itself. Lastly, we had our tasting in another winery. Amazing experience, you will not regret it, and it would be one of the best things you would do during your visit to Porto.

Wine Tour in Douro Valley
Hats off to Andre Vidal our driver and tour guide for the day!! It was a fantastic day to remember. Safe driving, information throughout, stopping at Amarante, Port wine tasting, visit in two vine yards, a delicious lunch topped with excellent wine and a boat trip on the Douro . Well done and highly recommend Living Tours and of course Andre .. Mario & Simone

Amazing memories
Went on this tour last October, and had a wonderful experience! Silvia was our guide and she was so amazingly sweet and thoughtful. We travelled with a french couple and she literally explained everything in two languages: French and English. Not only is that extremely nice, I can only imagine the energy that takes :) The whole experience of driving through Douro, the wines, the people we spoke to and the delicious wines we could taste: would definitely recommend. Love, Dennis & Vera from the Netherlands

Beautiful day in Douro Valley
We loved our Douro valley tour. The wineries and cruise were beautiful & our guides were professional, friendly & informative.

Absolutely fabulous tour - excellent value for money
We thought quite hard about this tour because its pretty much a full day and quite high end on the cost side..........so so very pleased we went for it! You get A LOT for your money. Diana met us at the tour company and outlined all the latest rules inline with COVID19 regulations and gave us a brief outline of the day to come. She was LOVELY, so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She gave us lots of information throughout the day about the history of the areas we visited and drove through, her english was excellent. We initially stopped at the beautiful little market town of Amarante where we were given the history and a brief outline of where to find everything. We had some free time to stop and enjoy a cake and coffee in a little patisserie overlooking the river (little gem recommended by Diana!) before enjoying a short walk along the river. We then traveled onto the first winery where we enjoyed learning about how the sugar and quality of the grapes are measured and the grapes weighed, followed by a comprehensive tour of the distillery. We were then served a never ending lunch and lots and lots of Port! YUM! The Ports were absolutely divine and the food was out of this world - enough to feed a small army! I couldn't fit in pudding! This was followed by a beautiful drive onto the Douro Valley - what stunning views we were lucky to see on the way. The landscapes are just breath taking. The river cruise was lovely and relaxing and a chance to take in the amazing scenery. After this we went onto the next winery where we enjoyed another comprehensive tour starting with the picking of the grapes in the vineyard and the history of the unusual land and climate of the area.............finally, more Port! Cannot recommend this tour enough! Also should be noted there is no pressure to buy the wines/Port at all - you are free the browse at your leisure and chose to buy if you wish. We couldn't resist =)

Douro Valley day trip
We have recently booked a day trip. Our guide Thiago was a very nice guide. We had a wonderful day. He did not only give us historical, stories about Porto but he was very well prepared about everything we asked. He cared about our safety during the trip, he was a driver, guide and funny person. The entire trip worths the price, the lunch, wine tasting was really nice and the landscape of the vallwt was spectacular. I would recommend the trip especially with Thiago!!! Thanks for this unique experience.

Douro Valley Port Tasting Tour
Paolo was a masterful guide and provided the perfect amount of information along the way. We enjoyed every stop, Amarante, two wineries, and a river cruise. A perfect day for our family. Thank you!!

Highly enjoyable tour!
Excellent tour for exploring the Douro Valley. Our guide Piedro was super friendly and knowledgable. Both wine tastings were good as well as lunch. The boat cruise and stop in a village added extra insight into the area. Definitely recommend!

Douro Valley Wine Day Trip
A last minute (almost) decision for us to go on this tour as we weren't sure about committing to a full day tour with only 2 1/2 days in Porto, but it was Well Worth IT. We thoroughly enjoyed the two winery visits - especially the smaller of the two Vintage Theory. We liked the two other quick stops as it breaks up the trip/bus ride and gives you more things to see. Since we are water/boating people we probably could have done without the river cruise portion, but that is just a personal preference. Our guide Marina and driver Luis were exceptional. Thank You!!

Douro Valley Day Trip
Excellent day. Our driver Claudio was amazing. Loving his smile and spirt. Felt very safe being driven around by him. Very professional. On time and never felt rushed.
Corey
It was a great day! Many thanks!
Just returned from a tour expertly conducted by our guide, Tiago, and driver, Silvino. Tiago navigated multiple languages of our tour mates and responded to all our needs, including dietary restrictions (he asked ahead of time). He has a great sense of humor and kept us on schedule without making us feel rushed. Silvino navigated both the city and narrow, curvy vineyard roads with ease.
Angie Kottmeyer
Great tour!
One of the highlights of our trip so far! Informative, plenty of wine, excellent lunch and beautiful scenery. Our driver was very safe and Nunu was an excellent guide.
Maureen
Douro Valley Wine Day
We had a good day on this trip, the bus is very new and confortable, there are a few stops to break up the long drive, the wineries are scenic and explain their processes well and luch was a highlight. The only this was that at lunch they did not really explain the two wines that we were drinking. The port tastings are quite generous with 4 ports to taste so probably not the best tour if you don't like port. Overall we had a great day with a good bunch of people and a fabulous guide. Definately recommend
Ellie
Amazing experience!!!
We take the tour wine on Porto, our guide Francisco Fonseca and bus driver Claudio made a wonderful job! We definitely will take another tour again ;)

This tour was a highlight of our trip to Portugal.
Professional, prompt and knowledgeable staff all round. Miguel our guide was informative and entertaining, and also arranged a local bakery visit. The wines were first class and the lunch was amazing with beautiful wines to accompany. The scenery was simply spectacular. Definitely worth the money.

Douro valley
My husband and I were part of a group of 8 who toured today with Andre of living tours. We enjoyed a fantastic day learning about Porto and the Douro Valley. We visited two completely different estates which included tours and wine and port tastings. Also included was a delicious lunch Portuguese style and a river cruise. The world heritage site of the Douro Valley is a must see. It is incredibly beautiful. Andre is very knowledgeable and passionate about this amazing area of Portugal. He made everyone feel welcome and comfortable and was able to answer all of our questions. Thank you so much Andre for the relaxing and informative day.

Amazing day at the douro valley!
Had a great Douro River Valley tour with Manuel from Living Tours. He picked us up in Porto in a small van for a small group tour with 5 other travellers. Unexpectedly, we were all from the Toronto area! Manuel was terrific, conducting a well informed, relaxed pace tour that took us to two wineries, a wonderful lunch by the river in Pinhão and a lovely boat ride. Overall a wonderful day, never mind all the great Port wine we tasted and the amazing wineries we toured. Manuel is a great tour leader. Thank You!

Quelle merveilleuse journée passée dans la région du Douro avec un guide extraordinaire, merci Nuno Pires!
Paysages magnifiques, dégustations professionnelles, déjeuner dans un un resto typiquement portugais et petite croisière sur le Douro. Nuno a su nous transmettre sa passion pour le Portugal, particulièrement pour Porto sa ville Natale.

Excellent experience on the Douro Valley wine tour.
A very well designed tour. Lots of good food and excellent port and wine. Learnt heaps about the region and grape growing and wine production. The boat trip after lunch was a relaxing break before heading on to more tastings. Tour guide Christian made the tour fun but also provided lots of information both about the processes and the history of the area
Viv Newton
A great experience doing the wine and river tour in the Douro Valley!
My wife and I had a great experience doing the wine and river tour in the Douro Valley! Tiago, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. He not only told us some history about the region and the wineries but also answered many questions that we and the others in the group had. I would definitely book another tour with Living Tours when I visit Portugal again. From Toronto, Steve

We booked this tour at the last minute and it was the highlight of our time in Porto
It was one of the most picturesque places we have travelled to. The scenery is beautiful. Unfortunately we were on a very large bus, over 24 people on the tour, not the mini bus mentioned, nor did we stop at the train station, perhaps because of the size of our group? However it didn't really matter as we had a fantastic time with a great group of people on the tour. We stopped at Sandeman and Crofts wineries, both excellent. We received two tastings at Sandeman and three at Crofts. Lunch was relaxing and plentiful. Our tour guide was Francisco and he was marvelleous. Special thanks to our bus driver who did a fantastic job! We also loved the music on the bus, nice touch, synchronising the songs, appropriate to the venue.
Melinda Burland
Great tour!

VALERIE ET PHILIPPE
Excellent Tour!
I wound up getting a private tour! Turns out there was a mix-up of some sort and everyone cancelled. I was the only one who wound up going. Tiago my guide showed up at my hotel at the exact time scheduled. He did a wonderful job of showing me the sites and even went out of his way to show me some different views not normally on the tour since I was the only one. Tiago even would stop randomly when I asked so I could take a few pictures. He was very knowledgeable about Porto and the area where the wine estates were. The wine estates were also good. Had good wine and a delicious meal I couldn't even eat all of. Excellent all the way around!

DOURO VALLEY TOUR: GREAT VALUE: If it’s cheap, it’s cheap for a reason.You get what you pay for.
Firstly, don’t waste your time, like I did, analysing all the numerous, different company, price offerings to tour the Douro Valley. If it’s cheap, it’s cheap for a reason! You get what you pay for! I agree with all the positive comments made before me, so I won’t repeat. I don’t have any negative comments. The whole experience was great. Claudia was our guide on 28/03/19. She was v friendly, had a high level of emotional intelligence, knowledgeable & engaging. Thank you, Claudia, for making our trip/ experience extra special. And thank you to our driver, Silviano, (sorry if I got your name wrong) who drove like he was transporting royalty. He washed the all the coach windows, during the first wine stop, to ensure we all continued to get great views. That’s what I call ‘going the extra mile’! I’d also like to thank ‘Fo Mouzinho’ from the Living Tours office team, next to Sao Bento rail station, who also helped us. You deserve a mention too.

Wine tour - Douro Valley
Me and my mother went to Douro Valley few days ago with this company. We visited 2 vineyard tasted high quality vines and eat launch than take a boat trip. Our guide was Claudia. My mother who travelled almost all country around the world and I agree that Claudia was the very best guide we ever met. She is very charismatic, talented and professional guide. We recommend this tour and Claudia as a guide and Carlos the driver.
