We added this tour at the end of a cruise and it proved to be the best 2 days of the vacation! Our guide Filipe was amazing- polite, efficient, patient, very knowledgable and a lot of fun to travel with! The car was clean and comfortable. The itinerary is busy but interesting and varied and allowed for flexibility. We also were very happy with the accomodation suggested by Rui- The historic "Vincci Ponte de Ferro" hotel perfectly located in Porto. We honestly have not one complaint or negative comment about this tour. We will definitely recommend to others and look into future trips with these providers. A great time in Porto and the Douro Valley- and the perfect weather was much appreciated!
Thank you, Patricia — this is a wonderful thing to read. Porto and the Douro together make for two very full days, and we're glad the pace, the hotel, and the valley all came together the way they did. The Douro has a quietness to it that tends to surprise people, and it sounds like it did just that. We'd love to welcome you back for another corner of Portugal one day. Rui
What a beautiful trip perfectly planned by our guide, Rui. Rui provided comfortable and luxurious accommodations while perfectly curating stops between Lisbon and Porto. I highly recommend stopping in Obidos. Rui has a deep love of his country, and his enthusiasm is contagious. He provides facts on anything you ask about, has a warm smile, quick wit and thinks of everything. I highly and unequivocally recommend hiring Rui. He enhanced our first visit to a Portugal in every way.
Thank you, Catherine — what a kind thing to read. That road between Lisbon and Porto has so much to offer when there's time to let it unfold properly, and Óbidos is one of those places that always justifies the stop. Portugal has a way of getting under your skin on a first visit, and I'm glad it felt that way. Hope it won't be the last time. Rui
Lovely experience in Porto and Douro! The drive up from Lisbon had a couple of stops in Obidos (charming walled town) and Nazare (surf town) that broke up the day nicely as opposed to sitting on a train. We loved Porto. The half day walking tour really gave us the lay of the land so we could get the most out of our free time there. Douro was lovely and our day included a stop in Amarante on the way up (could have spent more time poking around that quaint town!), two stops for wine tasting and a river boat tour. The wine tastings were different-one a small family run spot paired with an olive oil tasting and one a larger producer. Both lovely. Our drivers did a fantastic job herding our large group (6 adults and 6 kids). They were full of knowledge and expertise that made our very packed trip a lot simpler! Half of our group arrived two days late due to flight cancellations and our guides helped us manage the changing of itinerary, scheduled events, meals, etc. Doing this without the level of personalization given to this private tour would have been difficult. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation!
Thank you — what a full two days, and what a group to coordinate! Óbidos and Nazaré on the way north, Porto on foot, Amarante, the Douro, two very different wine experiences — that's Portugal done properly. And managing last-minute changes for half the group arriving late is exactly the kind of thing that tests a well-planned trip. We're glad it held together and that everyone made it in the end. Hope the kids are still talking about it. Rui
3 families with 12 people total. The trips was amazing! All tickets and sites were pre booked for us. Stress free and very enjoyable.
Thank you — three families, twelve people, and everything falling into place without the stress of planning on the go. That's exactly what we aim for. Glad Lisbon, the road north, Porto, and the Douro all delivered. Hope to travel with you all again one day. Rui

Most people rush through Porto or skip the Douro, but this tour made it possible to enjoy both at a perfect pace. It didn’t feel like a tour—it felt like a curated adventure. Our hotel in Porto was charming, and the dinner recommendations were spot on. On the second day, we cruised along the Douro River and visited a hidden viewpoint that took my breath away. It was the kind of travel experience that stays with you.

This tour was everything I didn’t know I needed. I booked it thinking it would just be an easy way to get to Porto, but it turned out to be a full-on experience. Our guide was not just a driver but a storyteller. He shared insights about Portuguese culture, history, and even personal anecdotes that made every stop feel meaningful. Porto was vibrant, and we had time to explore the riverside and try some authentic food. Day two in the Douro Valley was pure serenity. The wine tasting was intimate and relaxed, and we even had a picnic by the river. It felt like traveling with a local friend, not just a tour.

My friends and I visited Portugal late March 2025. Our 2 day tour was great - alot of walking, and long days, but worth every minute. Our tour of Porto through the Douro Valley was outstanding from a historical and cultural perspective. From the tiled buildings to the wonderful aroma of food; to the breathtaking vistas and gratious people... Obrigado! Our driver, Fatima was superb. Not only was she knowledgeable, prompt, professional and kind~ she ensured our safety while we were with her. Fatima's first language is Portuguese, however, her command of the English language is quite good. Her quick wit, patience, willingness to help and her smile was appreciated by this group! Obrigado Fátima! Fique seguro. Sua família!!
