Duro valley historical sites cruise and wine tasting Tour guide and driver Paulo and Idalino Lovely taste of the Duri valley with living tours. The meeting place is easy to locate. Expect it to be busy and arrive ly a little early. You will need to book, best to use your smart phone on arrival. This will give you your bus number. There is no cover so if its wet bring a brolly. The tour is easily paced, there was a lot of time on the road, which you should expect that given we are heading out into interior. Comfort breaks were well positioned and in good location. The highlights of the tour are the cruise, vineyard visit and lunch. The views from the bus as you pace through the countryside are lovely so the bus time passes quickly. The driving was smooth and measured, 'you felt you were in a safe pair of hands.' Our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny and helpful a really likeable chap. Thanks living tours, the weather you could do nothing about, the tour was excellent.

We took the small group Douro trip. Exactly as advertised. Some really spectacular scenery and a lot of great insights into the port wine industry. My only criticism would be lunch entree was so-so and that’s a really subjective ( it had a ton of beans which aren’t my taste). The soup starter and dessert were brilliant. The real star of the show was our guide, Jeorge. He was so knowledgeable, personable and helpful. One of our crew had left some personal belongings back in Lisbon and he helped coordinate the return of them ( just amazing customer service above and beyond expectations). Loved learning from him and having him skillfully get us over the narrow and twisty roads in a safe and comfortable fashion. Highly recommend!

We took a small group Duoro Valley wine tour with Living Tours and had a great time. I have to mention our driver/tour guide Vasco Oliveira. He is very passionate, informative, funny and clearly loves what he does. The two wineries we stopped at had spectacular views and the wine was great. The lunch they served at the second winery was very good and by far the best I've ever had from a tour with food included in the price. On the way back he even took us to an extra destination, Amarante, which was a really cute town. We got to walk across a bridge that Napoleon crossed when he was in Portugal. We then had coffee and delicious local pastries at a bakery along the river that had a perfect relaxing atmosphere
