Private Douro Valley Wine Tour

Amazing experience. Douro valley is breathtaking. I did a private tour for two and it was incredible. Eduardo is an amazing tour guide, he made it such a fun experience for me and my partner. Definitely request him if you can. Great wines and breathtaking views

This was beyond what we could have hoped for, let alone expected. If you are even considering this tour, commit. Now! We have been on numerous wine tours and tastings around several continents, but this was our first in Portugal and the Douro. This was without a doubt the best yet. Eduardo took us to three wineries, two of which being small, basically family run operations. He delivered great stories about the history of the area and it was obvious he knew the proprietors intimately. While we were left alone to our experiences, he remained close by to engage with the other staff. That type of engagement only happens when mutual respect is shared. One note to remember is lunch - we had not planned ahead to make any arrangements. No problem for Eduardo - he called ahead to get us seats at a small restaurant. Again, even though I don’t speak Portuguese, the conversation was light and amicable - again, that sound of respect. Our trip was a very full day that was not rushed but nurtured. Oh, and yes, the choices of wineries was good enough to encourage us to have several cases being shipped home! No doubt, this was amazing!

This was an amazing tour - two things in advance - make a lunch reservation and do bring water! Having said that, our exceptional guide, Eduardo, arranged for both for us. We have done tours literally around the world with different providers, and this was our first trip to Porto and the Douro River. Eduardo provided not only the educational insights but was friendly, funny and one of the most interesting people we have run into. He knew everyone at the wineries we visited, and the restaurant we ate lunch at. He pointed out specific areas of interest and made suggestions along the way. He’s also a great photographer and knows exactly where to stop and how to pose you! A long day with three wineries, but they were well paced and spread out. In our case we did two very small wineries and one larger. The two small wineries were friendly, accommodating and offered exceptional wines. Obviously also able to ship, but at no time did I feel in any way forced to order. Furthermore, if there was something else you wanted to taste, they were too happy to pour (including a 30 year Tawny). Not measured pours but not so much you lose your sense of taste. You could really not ask for more. Actually, we could not ask for anything more out of a tour. Great guide, great stop choices and prompt service. You cannot go wrong with OPorto Road Trips and Eduardo. That is, unless you choose someone else for your tour!

We had an amazing private tour of the Douro Valley with Luis. He was so much fun and had great energy for a day of wine touring. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and was excellent about checking on us and making sure we were comfortable. The three wineries were an ideal mix- the first had a beautiful view and a tour showing old olive oil and wine making equipment; the second was a large winery with also a lovely river view and very high quality wines and port; the last was our favorite with an unforgettable tour by the owner and an exceptional tasting and tapas board. The views on the tour day were unreal and we got some lovely photos. Thank you Luis for a beautiful day!

Our guide Padro was wonderful. The tour and food was great. Great vibes from each wine 🍷 vineyard. Highly recommend our guide and this tour
