Amazing tour of the area - Two thumbs up on this beautiful and fun tour. The guide and driver were fantastic and made our day even better. The boat ride, tour of the vineyards, wine tasting, lunch, and more wine tasting was a fun and full day. I thoroughly enjoyed it all. The group was such a fun dynamic too. Would definitely do this tour again.

Douro day trip - Isabella was very informative, fluent, and helpful. She explained each sequence and the timing well and proved an excellent host. Manuel was an outstanding driver who kept us safe and on schedule.

Agree with Ray, once in a lifetime :) - Annabella, Annabella, Annabella! What an amazing day. From you to Nuno, our super driver, to everyone on the bus. I cannot describe how lucky we were to have this experience. From birthdays to be celebrated together to wonderful food and wine but the bus home was the highlight! Amazing tour mates and guide...you gave us an unforgettable day!

Once in a lifetime - Ok. Annabella… I ordinarily do not like bus tours BUT all prior reviews pale in comparison to this. This tour was going much as expected with a ride to Pinhao, and a river cruise. Leaving Pinhao the fun began. Our driver who was superb had to stop on a very steep mountain road to allow a train to pass. The bus was filled to capacity and was unable to climb the steep slope. So we exited the bus to lighten the load and boarded at the top of the hill. Here the better part of the tour began. After a routine wine tasting we then went on to a boutique winery for lunch and multiple bottles of wine. Here the tour group bonded over food and drinks plus multiple birthday celebrations. Followed by more wine tasting we were all ready to party and there were members of our group who had us all singing and dancing the entire ride back. Annabella was a great host and allowed us to have a great time all the way back. Our driver was totally professional and got a great party back safely. Totally unforgettable!
Oh Annabella I know you have videos so please share.

Worth the walk! - We loved the walk, it was worth it!
My husband, my daughter and I were lucky to be the only Brazilians in the group, so we had exclusive explanations at the wineries. Beautiful landscapes and a delicious lunch on the second and last Thursday, where we tasted more wines.
The driver and guide Ana got a 10.
Thank you for the memorable day!

Great experience at Douro Valley!! - Awesome experience!! A full day at the Douro Valley with Yellow bus is one of the best Tours I've ever take. The tour guide and the Driver were nice and kind at every moment. The bus with the movile ceiling is a plus. Every thing on time, the views, the food, and of course the wine were all excellent!! Thanks for a great Tour!!

After bad start excellent - After a really bad start and I mean really bad when we all arrived at 08-00 and only left at 08-50 with no communication other than the bus was in traffic, duh , you operate a business in Porto and you can’t get a bus to its start point on time —things got a lot better when Annebella took over on the bus . As a guide she was wonderful and the drive to Pinhao and boat experience very good . The wine tour and tasting was excellent ( Flavia at Kopke top class ) —lunch and port tasting superb . Encouraged by our guide there was a lot of singing on the bus journey back to Porto — virtually everybody had a great time . Our driver was also superb managing to avoid a collision with some idiot overtaking .

DON'T GO. - DON'T GO.
It's a scam, it's better to make your excursion yourself by train or car!
We were promised medieval village tours, views of viewpoints: we never saw them and the village tour lasted exactly 5 min, time to enter a church and leave.
Our Guide Anna was unpleasant to the possible and I'm not sure she actually knew how to speak English. She only read a wikipedia page from time to time...
Lunch was frankly not very good.
We went to complain and we were more or less told it was too bad for us.
In short, extremely disappointed, it is absolutely not worth the 100€, I will say 50€ great maximum.
So my Trip Tip: go by train (25€ round trip) or by car and visit for yourself! It'll be much better!
Yellowbus you really are what we call a tourist catch.
