The Duoro Valley is lovely. The wine tours were informative and delicious. Our tour guide, Barheim, made it an even better trip. He was knowledgeable, fun and a very good driver. We felt well taken care of.

Took a small group tour led by George on Sept 3rd. He was a very good tour guide who shared a lot of information. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the trip. The two wineries were a bit different but both equally good in their presentation. Lunch was in Pinhâo. It was a very good meal with three types of meats. Two types of wine were provided and a small glass of Porto. Dessert was delicious. The boat tour was a good break between wine tastings. The meal was top on my list of meals in Portugal. If you are planning a tour in Douro, George is a great choice.

Andrea was fantastic! Her English was great and she was incredibly friendly. She kept us on track in terms of timing so we were able to see a few more cute spots for photos. etc. Food was great and very authentic. Highly recommend!

Douro Valley was incredible. We spent the day visiting wineries, taking a cruise & making new friends. We couldn’t of asked for a more beautiful day. Brahim was our driver and guide. He was amazing every step of the trip. We had our 3 year old with us and she loved Brahim. They provided a car seat and were extremely attentive to our needs. I highly recommend him and the Oporto Road Trips.

This tour (went on Aug 7th) was absolutely amazing, and it wouldn’t have been the same without our tour guide Joāo! Joāo was amazingly kind, extremely knowledgeable and generous with his time. Not only did he provide us with exceptional services and care the entire day, he really made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Joāo also let us purchase an extra bottle of wine at our last tour and let us squeeze in a few more minutes knowing he would end up getting home a little more later than usual. Our group was thoroughly impressed with the service. Now for feedback on the wineries: Overall, the tours were really enjoyable. The views from the Doro Valley were absolutely stunning! The employees at both wineries took the time to explain their processes for making their wine and that was really fun too. Our only complaint was that we thought for the money paid to visit two wineries, the quantities of pours could have been a little more generous. One of the wineries supplied two bottles for our group of 6 to share which was a little underwhelming to say the least… we had to buy a third bottle and felt it could have been offered given the price of these tours. All in all, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested. We learned a lot, got to try some amazing wine and had the best tour guide we could ask for. Thanks again Joāo, we sincerely enjoyed meeting you! Jesse
