Traveler reviews
Another Amazing Cooltour Oporto Experience!
My wife, Jullie, and I recently completed another wonderful Douro Valley Wine Tour with Cooltour Oporto. This was our second time touring with them, having previously enjoyed a tour in August 2024, and once again they exceeded our expectations. Our driver and tour guide, Alvaro Santos, was outstanding. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver throughout the day. The Mercedes-Benz van was modern, spotless, and very comfortable. Pickup was prompt and exactly as scheduled, making the start of the day stress-free. We were part of a small group of four couples, which created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The smaller group size made the entire experience feel more personal, easy, and memorable. It was great revisiting two vineyards that we had enjoyed during our previous Douro Valley tour. However, the highlight of the day was discovering a new winery for us: Dois Lagares Family Vineyards. The wines were exceptional, but what truly made the visit special was meeting co-owner Bruno José Balça Oliveira. Bruno and his brother have done a remarkable job continuing the family legacy started by their grandparents. Bruno’s passion for winemaking was evident, and he explained the vineyard’s history, production methods, and tasting profiles in a way that was both informative and easy to understand. The tour also included a wonderful lunch at Vista D’Ouro, a charming restaurant housed in what was once a rural elementary school. The setting was unique, the food was excellent, and it provided an authentic taste of the Douro region. The return trip to Porto was safe, comfortable, and relaxing. We were dropped off just a short walk from our hotel, providing the perfect ending to an outstanding day. Jullie and I highly recommend Cooltour Oporto to anyone looking for an exceptional Douro Valley wine experience. Their attention to detail, knowledgeable guides, comfortable transportation, and carefully selected wineries make for a memorable and enjoyable day in one of the world’s most beautiful wine regions. We look forward to touring with them again on a future visit to Portugal.
Well worth the price!
This was a very well done tour with a very knowledgeable guide. I chose the three winery tour and the wineries selected were all smaller family owned operations with very welcoming hosts. They were definitely off of the beaten path for the regular tours which was amazing!

We could not have asked for a better guide through the Douro Valley. David was beyond fabulous. He was very knowledgeable of the area and took us to wonderful places. He was also a great driver on the country roads.😁 I highly recommend him.
