Review of a full-day Douro Valley wine tour from Porto with three vineyards, Port tastings, scenic drives, and traditional lunch.
“Rita, the guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout. Unfortunately, the long drive in the rear seats was very uncomfortable, which made the day feel longer than it needed to be. The three wine estates were beautiful, but the tasting experience was disappointing: across a 10-hour tour we received roughly 350 ml wine in total, with no option to purchase extra glasses or an additional bottle with lunch or at the wine tasting farms. I left feeling the highlight was the beautiful views and no enough emphasis on the wines themselves. If they allowed us to sample more wine and offer us to buy wine along the way, this would…”
Review this 10-hour Douro Valley wine tour from Porto, with three wineries, Portuguese lunch, Port tastings, scenic roads, and practical booking tips.
“This trip was INCREDIBLE! It was one of the best guided tours I've been to during my time in Portugal. It was very well designed and planned. The tour guide was also SO much fun! He was always talking with us, explaining things to us, and telling us stories. He interacted with everyone from the group and made sure that all of us were comfortable and engaged. My friend and I also got along very well with all of the other individuals on the trip. We all became friends and even took pictures together! One of them went on another tour with us the day after! Overall, this was such…”
Review of a private Setúbal wine tour from Lisbon, with family wineries, Portuguese tastings, optional lunch, guides, pricing, and practical tips.
“Booked a wine tasting day through Viator, and Rodrigo was our driver. He picked us up and it was just my friend and I, and became a very personal experience. We talked about culture, politics and languages during our 40 minutes to the vineyards. A true wine connoisseur if I must say. By the second stop her knew exactly what wine to pick for us during our tasting. And in the small little town of Pamela we had lunch at this small quaint but busy restaurant. The fish was delicious and everyone who worked there very hospitable and friendly. We loved our experience!! And would recommend this tour to my…”

Review of a private Douro Valley tour from Porto with two wine estates, traditional lunch, scenic cruise, hotel pickup, and practical tips.
“josé, our guide was great. Very friendly and accommodating. The lunch was amazing and so was the wine. The river cruise is an absolute must-do. We had an amazing experience despite a country-wide blackout. José even made sure to take us to a market for food on our way home because he knew all the restaurants in Porto would be closed.”

Explore Madeira by open-roof 4x4, from Cabo Girão’s Skywalk to vineyards, mountain roads, and Madeira wine tastings.
“The guide was great, but the wine tasting was not what we expected. The first winery was a table wine producer, not a Madeira wine producer. This was not explained in the tour description. The second stop at the Henriques and Henriques Madeira winery was a waste of time. The sample pours were so small that you could barely taste them.”
Review of Porto’s Douro Valley tour with vineyard tastings, lunch, river cruise, scenic drives, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“We liked our entire trip very much. However we do take issue with the place we got lunch. Lunch was just ok. The bathrooms were deplorable. No toilet paper, no hand soap, and trash cans were filled to over flowing. The port wine presentation was terrific. The presenter was wonderful. The last wine tasting spot was outstanding. Everything there was under stated and really really well done.(5 stars)”
Review of a private Douro Valley tour from Porto with Amarante, lunch, wine tasting, vineyard visit, river cruise, and hotel pickup.
“Great opportunity to learn about the Douro Valley, and what makes it so special. We’ve been to Napa and Sonoma dozens of times, and were only looking for a romantic way to spend our anniversary. Pedro, our guide, saw to that, and also taught us more than we imagined about the Douro Valley’s unique climate, schist soil (if you can call it that) and the hard working growers. The visit to Amarante, the wine tasting, and Quinta visit, and the cruise on the river surpassed our expectations, and Pedro’s knowledge seemed bottomless. We highly recommend!”
