Awesome experience - Our one trip along Douro valley has been wonderful: well organized and our guide Beatriz has always been kind and very careful about our needs (car sickness for winding roads, allergies for lunch food, toilets). Their tour plan is ideal for those who don't have too many days available, but want to see Douro valley panoramas and villages and taste typical products like Porto wine. Many thanks for awesome experience! Davide and Sara

A beautiful tour! - The whole tour was beautiful, The tour guide Gabriella was warm and very competent, the chauffeur Philipp was quiet and well driven and we also liked the whole program very much - all stops, tastings, lunch and also the drive afterwards with the bus roof open. The tour on the Duoro 1 hour - everything perfect, BRAVO!!!

Great cost benefit - A new bus with an excellent driver. The guide Mafalda very attentive, made the tour in 3 languages paying attention to everyone with a lot of sympathy and smiling always. The tour was long, but everything that was proposed was fulfilled satisfactorily. It was a memorable walk.

Beautiful day at the Douro - We had a wonderful day with Mafalda and Manuel. The wine tastings were very interesting even for someone who does not drink much alcohol. The view from the terrace at lunch was breathtaking. Mafalda could easily switch between Portuguese, Spanish and English in her statements. The bus trip and the boat trip on the Douro were very relaxing. An all-round successful excursion and crowning conclusion to our stay in Porto.

Highly recommended Yellow Bus tour to Douro Valley - Beatriz (our tour guide) and Emanuel (our bus driver) were both amazing hosts who made the experience even more memorable. Beyond being in the company of wonderful fellow travelers, I truly enjoyed every aspect of the trip. The drive to the Douro Valley was smooth and relaxing, with the scenery becoming more breathtaking the further we went. Rolling hills covered with endless rows of vineyards, charming little villages tucked into the landscape, and the iconic Douro River winding its way through the valley all combined to create an absolutely stunning backdrop. The wine tastings were a real highlight — each stop offered not only delicious wines but also warm hospitality and fascinating insights into the winemaking traditions of the region. It was a joy to learn about the history and craft behind the famous Douro wines while savoring their rich flavors. The river cruise was simply magical. Gliding gently along the Douro River, surrounded by terraced vineyards and dramatic hillsides, felt like stepping into a postcard. It was peaceful, beautiful, and gave a unique perspective of the valley’s grandeur. Overall, it was an unforgettable day filled with great people, incredible scenery, excellent wine, and outstanding hosting by Beatriz and Emanuel. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Portugal!

Amazing experience, that is a must see. - Amazing experience! Coming from South African wine lands it was impressive to see the wine lands in Portugal. Beatrice and Emanuel were very accommodating, informative and took very good care of us even with our 7 month old. Would highly recommend this trip.
