Yahav
We got lucky to have a private boat tour both brunu and gugu(I hope I spelled it right). They were informative, also tasted a great wine on board, most of all, they were very funny. I would definitely recommend, thank you guys! Hava Nagila 😄🇵🇹
Darren
The Douro Valley is a magical place, and probably our favourite European destination. Kalil and Ivo further enhanced that experience with their one hour boat tour from Pinhão and a great educational commentary. The follow up vehicle tour to an amazing viewpoint and wine tasting (Still with Douro Tours) was the icing on the cake. Alexia continued the upbeat and interesting knowledge sharing, and left us feeling we’d had a good value half-day trip. Highly recommended 👌
Brian
Fantastic, informative, and relaxing! What a wonderful way to experience the Douro river and valley from the water's surface. A unique perspective after driving many kilometres on roadways high up the mountains. Ivo and Gugu were entertaining and shared interesting facts about the history of the industry and current perspectives. Thank you!
Neta
We had a lovely boat tour in Pinhão! Bruno and Gugu were wonderful- friendly and knowledgeable, they shared interesting facts about the Douro Valley along the way. We also got to taste local port wine, and the views were absolutely stunning. The small boat was perfect so everyone had a great view and a relaxed experience. Highly recommend!
Karen
Seeing such high grapevines was spectacular. Something I would never have imagined. The views were stunning. Great to travel in a small bus.
Mark
This tour was the highlight of our holiday. Ricardo was a brilliant guide.
Amy
Took the 1 hrs river cruise. Amazing experience especially for the price, with a sample of local port included. Ivo and Sergio were great, really informative and friendly. Small intimate boat, made everyone feel special. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
Marci
We visited beautiful places, learned about Port wines, and lunched on tasty food. Due to rain and wind, we couldn’t do the river boat trip, which was a disappointment but totally understandable. Ended up visiting an additional winery. Our guide Nelson spoke both Portuguese and English, and made sure we all enjoyed the tour.
Lynn
It was a well paced trip. Great guide that was always helpful. Delicious lunch as well!
Tommy
Our guide Anabela and our driver Ferro are very professional. Anabela enjoy her job and know a lot about the region. Every penny is worthed.
