Pedro was phenomenal! We were with him for 2 days and the variety of wineries (big and small, heavy ports to minimal) was spot on! And he took us to a really good locals lunch spot that was very good. Finally - he was very easy to spend two days with. Very nice person, knowledgeable and loves what he does.

Just back from the most fabulous day with Rui at Douro Valley Tours! 🌿🍷 From start to finish, everything was seamless and fun. Rui picked us up in a gorgeous, very comfortable Mercedes and immediately set the tone with his easygoing, cool energy and amazing knowledge of the Douro region. He showed us a big super impressive slick wine producer (Quinta da Pachera) and introducing us to a charming, smaller Quinta (Quinta do Beijo) it was great to see the difference between the two. Very unique! There’s a small surprise at the end of the Beijo tour, please go visit, it’s worth it! We opted for a beautiful lunch at Quinta de Pachera, which Rui organised for us and was a real highlight - amazing food and wine with views across the valley. Afterwards, Rui arranged a breathtaking boat trip along the Douro River, where we drifted past terraced vineyards in the afternoon sunshine. By the cozy, dozy drive back, we were happily full of wine, food, and unforgettable memories. Rui is not just a guide, he’s the kind of host who makes you feel like a local friend is showing you around. If you’re visiting Porto or the Douro Valley, do yourself a favour and book a day with him. You’ll come away with a full heart, a happy stomach, and a deep appreciation for this magical region.

My private wine tour with Rui/DWT - Douro Valley Wine Tours was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I was picked up at my hotel (Quinta da la Pencha I highly recommend and which Rui booked and suggested) to the final drop-off, everything was meticulously planned and executed. Rui customized visiting smaller, family-run wineries in the Douro Valley and enjoying tastings of their unique wines. Rui's knowledge of the region, the winemaking process, and the specific wines we tasted was exceptional. He was able to answer all my questions and provide insights that enhanced my appreciation for Portuguese wine. The tastings themselves were well-paced and informative, and I especially enjoyed the very personal tour at Quinta da Formigosa. Additionally, lunch was very delicious at a local eatery in the Valley. The boat tour was also a very unique view of the river and valley during the wine excursion. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone looking for a personalized and memorable wine experience in Portugal. It was worth every penny!
