          Perfect day in the Douro Valley
          Pedro was an excellent and pleasant guide. The 2 wineries were beautiful. Lunch at the 2nd winery was like a movie set and it was delicious. Beautiful property. Boat ride was ok. Half hour out and turn around. Amaranth was really lovely.

          Exceeded our expectations!
          The tour was amazing! We did many stops and tastings, beautiful places. Our tour guide was Antonio and he was the best tour guide we have ever had! He was very nice and explained everything. This tour definitely exceeded our expectations! We will be back for sure and recommend this tour to our friends!

          Amazing tour guided by Antonio. All the stops are worth the trip and the boat tour is the cherry on top. I highly recommend it.

          Great day with Tiago
          Went on a tour with Tiago, who was amazing. He got us to the tasting sites before the crowds, and was very knowledgeable about the region, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group had a good experience

          Great experience in the Douro Valley
          I had read many mixed reviews about day trips to the Duoro Valley but our day spent with Thiago was delightful. He was an excellent driver ( essential on the winding mountain roads!), a charming host and extremely knowledgeable about Portuguese history and winemaking. This was a great way to experience the beautiful Duoro region, taste local wines and have a great lunch. I would highly recommend.

          Great time!
          We were batched with wonderful couples and had a grand time. Douro Valley has beautiful scenes and good wine and port to enjoy it with. Our guide, Tiago, made the experience even better by giving bits of information about the region, culture, lifestyle of the area, and most importantly, he drove us safely to and from wine tasting.

          Loved the Tour
          We had a terrific day with guide extraordinaire, Tiago, touring around Douro Valley with some new friends from Australia. It’s some time in the van but Tiago provided interesting info about the region and remarkably good driving skills. Would recommend highly to anyone interested in an excursion into the beautiful, grape-growing countryside outside of Porto.

          10/10 experience.
          A great experience. Went with a couple of friends and met some great people along the way. Our guide Alex was great and provided us with a lot of good information. We got to try so much wine and food (and olive oil!) and it was all very delicious. The scenery was also breathtaking. We didn’t want it to end! Definitely more than worth the price, would highly recommend it.

          Douro Valley Wine, Lunch and Boat Tour
          Tiago was an incredibly friendly, helpful, informative driver and host. He was early to the pick up point. He was so knowledgeable about the area and about wine. He made sure we were all comfortable. This was one of the best tours we’ve been on and I would highly recommend going with Tiago if you can. He even dropped everyone off where we they were staying. He also, kindly arranged for transportation to the train station for us.

          Paulo did an outstanding job showing us the local lifestyle! As wine grape growers we appreciated his enthusiasm, knowledge and insight to this beautiful area of Portugal.

          Fabulous Douro Valley Wine tour!
          My husband and I went on the Douro Valley wine tour with Pedro and 6 other people. Pedro was a great guide! He was very informative, pleasant and energetic. Answered any questions we had and took pictures of us over looking the beautiful Douro Valley. We tried many different wines and port wines. Had a delicious lunch and another snack along with the 3 wine tastings. We had a fun time! Loved the boat ride on the river. So beautiful! Definitely a must do when in Porto. Thank you Pedro!

          Book this tour.
          This was everything I was hoping for. Early start (8:15) but absolutely worth it. 3 different stops to eat and drink plus the boat trip (we opted not to drink there but we could have). Breakfast was ham and cheese and both white and red green wine. Then off to a winery with incredible views where we learned how olive oil and wine and made and then sampled them both. Then back down to the river where the views were incredible. On to lunch where the food and drink (red and white wine plus port) were all very good. There were 8 of us with Francisco and he answered our questions as he drove us all over the countryside. It’s a long day as we weren’t back to our hotel until around 6. I would do it again.

        Our private Douro Valley tour with Tiago was the highlight of our month long trip in Europe. He was patient, punctual, professional, and went out of his way to make it such a phenomenal experience. The company itself was great with adjusting our itinerary to meet our wants and communicating throughout. Don’t even bother looking at any other company. Book this one. We will always recommend this company and Tiago to our friends. We would even do it again!

        We did a full day private tour for 4 in the Douro valley and loved our experience. We were promptly picked up at 830am from our accommodation by Tiago, who is a very safe, confident and courteous driver and guide. He told us many stories and shared his knowledge with us of wine, food, Portuguese culture, language and history. He also took us to really nice and less crowded spots and took great pictures of us. As for the itinerary, we didn’t care too much for the vinho verde, but the charcuterie was really good and the lunch at Casa de Barros was excellent and the wines were very nice as well. I am so thankful I booked a visit with Touch Tours and that we were lucky enough to be guided by Tiago!

        p.s. my only caveats are the following: the standard itinerary does not follow exactly what is included on this page, and for the olive oil/port tasting you have to join bigger groups so it’s not 100% at your own pace. But these are very picky points!

        We spent the most amazing day touring the Duoro Valley with Francisco as our guide. He was so informative with just the right mix of humor and charm to make the day a delight. We started our morning with “Portuguese breakfast” tasting the vinho verde wine with local cheese and meats in Amarante; then on to the olive oil museum for olive oil and wine tastings; our final stop was lunch under spreading trees and port tasting. It was a perfect way to see the spectacular scenery of the valley with endless terraces of vineyards and olive trees! We were on a one day stop on a cruise ship and Francisco picked us up promptly and made sure we were safely back in time to re-board our ship.
        Can’t imagine a better introduction to the magic of Portugal!

        Overall exceptional experience!
        I booked this tour a few months ago for a group of 10 friends. Sabrina was fantastic at helping us prepare a customized itinerary with both a large, well-known port and wine producer and a boutique, specialty winery. She also arranged lunch at a winery.
        Our driver and guide, Antonio, picked us up at our hotel on time in a comfortable mini bus. Since we were a bit early, we enjoyed a bonus stop at a private port maker with a quirky museum. Super fun. Antonio was really informative, entertaining, and shared fun facts throughout.
        The views were absolutely stunning! The drive was harrowing at times but our driver was an expert. We certainly would not have wanted to do this drive ourselves!
        The highlight of our trip was the visit to the Murças vineyard. Sylvia was an excellent host. We tasted the different grapes straight off the vines as we walked their gorgeous vineyard and production facilities. Our group wants to come back and join the stomping crew in September! The tastings were also the best of our visit and we came away with some truly unique and exceptional wines that we are not able to get in US or Canada.
        Thanks to the team at Touch Tours for making this such an incredible and memorable tour.

        The company was amazing. They had an itinerary for us (I didn’t want to do extra research). And the wineries they took us to had delicious wine AND unique experiences.

        Our driver Tiago was so friendly and knowledgeable. I learned so much about the history of port wine!

        It was well worth to pay for the private car and tour. And it was worth it to pay the extra 65 euros per person for the itinerary (boat cruise, wine tasting, lunch). It was a great experience for my entire family!

        It was a wonderful trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, forthcoming and helpful.
        Julio was so good that not only he told us about the region and wines and olives but also gave us some insight to Portugese History.
        I would have given it 5 stars but the boat tour was no good.there was no narration and moved at snails pace.

        Sabrina of Touch Tours did an outstanding job of customizing the tour to our tastes. She found two exceptional wine tours and tastings, including one at a leading organic producer, and she booked us at a top notch restaurant for lunch. Our guide Tiago C did a superb job of conducting the tour. He is exceptionally engaging and knowledgeable about the Douro Valley, wine and food, having worked extensively as a professional chef.

        Wonderful tour with amazing guide and picturesque views but avoid paying the extra 50 euro for lunch and additional tasting. It was not worth it. We basically received a plate of salted rice and sour wine. it ruined the amazing experience because two of us paid 100 Euro for 2 Euro worth of food that I would not give my dog.

        Ask Joao, the driver, to take you to a nice restaurant with good wine instead. You will be glad you did.

        The tour operator was flexible even though we arranged the trip on short notice. The vehicle and drive to Douro valley were very comfortable. The tour operator accommodated our requests to customize our trip and they took care of the reservations. We had to pay extra for the actual places we visited which was not evident from the tour description. The tasting experiences and the lunch experience with tasting at Casa dos Barros were great. The driver (Tiago) was very friendly, respectful and helpful. Awe would recommend this tour. I would recommend if you want to customize and stay with your group.

        This tour was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Our tour guide Alex was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

        At our first stop, we visited a quaint tavern in Amarante and sampled white and red wines paired with local cheese, bread, ham and sausage which was very tasty. Next, we took a picturesque drive along the river and up a mountain to an olive and wine tasting at D’Origem estate and museum where we had a tour of the facility and learned a lot of the history. The views were spectacular while we enjoyed the delicious wine and olive oil tasting. Afterwards, we went back down to the town of Pinhao for a 1 hour cruise on the Douro river surrounded by beautiful views . We finished the day with an excellent lunch at Quinta dos Mattos overlooking the vineyard followed by a private port tasting by the friendly and knowledgeable Filip.

        We highly recommend this tour and our amazing tour guide Alex.
