“The guides were excellent. We really liked the tour, first it started by a bout ride and the second part was a car ride. We had to opportunitie to see the Douro valley from the low and from the high. The wine tasting was nice, but for me it was not the highlight of the tour.”
Cruise the Douro from Pinhão on a quiet solar boat, enjoy two local wines, and see vineyard terraces with a small group of up to 10.

After two hours of drive without a stop we board the boat with a single tiny toilet for 20 people. Not fun. Need to have a body call stop before 3. After the complete day we had to wait more than 15 minutes to the van. It could be better…”

“our tour guide was Bruno who knew what he was talking about. Answered our questions and was very informative on all aspects. The wine tasting was absolutely delicious and do take the porto vintage. And do take the time to walk around and explore as the vineyard is absolutely beautiful. We had the chance to speak with Kay and it was wonderful to hear her vision of what the vineyard is.
