One of the best tours and a great way to see the Douro Valley - We took several Viator tours during our 2 weeks in Portugal. This was our favorite. Nuno (sp?) was our guide. He had a great knowledge of all the areas that we visited. On the long ride out to the valley, he was able to chat in a very conversant way, that was informative and entertaining. With this tour, we were able to see some beautiful scenary, visit a few winery's and sampled their products, along with a tasty lunch (with more wine). Though it was a long day, time just flew by. Partially due to our guide feeding us knowledge in between. Along with the quality stops that we made along the way.

Lovely views, great experience! - Took a 2-week trip around Portugal, just me. So signing up for these day tours allows me to chat with folks who are usually pretty nice, which was the case for my Douro Valley wine tour. Our first stop in Sabrosa for the first family-owned winery was awesome, really loved it. Our guide Hernan was very bright, funny and a good driver (which is key) with excellent English. Yes, there was confusion on the exact times people were being picked up in the morning to head out which caused a domino effect impacting the rest of us so I was picked up 20 mins late, but not sure that was the tour people's fault, I have a feeling the first group didn't check their email to see what time they needed to actually be at the pick-up point. So, if you book this, please check your email the night before b/c they send you the time based on where everyone is located. Anyway Hernan was able to diffuse a bit of the awkwardness of folks being sorta peeved from the beginning with humor and great 80s/90s tunes on the radio. As for the lunch, I thought everything tasted great and the venue was very scenic... we learned a lot about olive oil, wine, port, honey... it was a great time.

An exceptional informative tour - This tour was exceptional made so by our guide Joaquim. The wine and port tastings were high informative, were not rushed and there were no pressure sales. Lunch was lovely set in a vineyard, the location was busy but the staff had service off to a fine art, the food was lovely and plentiful. The boat trip along the Douro was fascinating. Finally, hope the two other guests with the same birth date as mine had a happy birthday.

Thanks Jorge. - The tour in the morning focused on a tour and tasting at a well known winery that specialized in port wines. Our guide Jorge was a gregarious person who loves his work. He was very informative and was very helpful in making everyone part of the experience. The tour provides an excellent look at the region and the river boat cruise was a nice midday diversion. Thanks again Jorge for taking us on this adventure. A great time had by all.
