      Maria is amazing! So smart, well informed, and a great conversationalist. She can answer any and all questions you have not only about Port, but about Portugal as a whole. She made our day so pleasant. Highlight of our trip.

      One of the best vacation tours ever!
      On behalf of the 4 Canadians (front seats) we have to let you know how much we thoroughly enjoyed our 9 hour tour with this Company, Oct 11th, lead by Igor Brandaò and the skilled driver Luis. We started in Porto, taking us through to the Douro Valley. We experienced amazing scenery with a great tutorial along the way. We enjoyed 2 wineries with an authentic Portuguese lunch and tasting at the second, Quinta de Santa Julio, who had attentive staff and guides. Traveling in this area will be one of the most picturesque you will ever encounter. So worth it! Magical tours are lucky to have a guide like Igor who is obviously proud of his Country and has the personality to share it with us and make us fall in love with Portugal even more!❤

      TOTALLY WORTH IT!
      I’m a New Yorker, so I’ll get straight to the point… TAKE THIS TOUR! It was wonderful. It’s stress-free, informative and a lot of fun. My tour guide was a smart and handsome gentleman by the name of Antonio “Tony” Brãs. He’s not like other tour guides who can be brash and talk too much. His knowledge is deep and flows with ease. He gave us history and more recent stories. The ride was smooth, the locations were easy to maneuver, and people everywhere were so pleasant. The lunch was DELICIOUS! By the end, we all shared a drink (Tony had water). That’s a testament to all the good people who put this tour together, Tony’s guidance and the tourists who booked it.

      A wonderful trip to the portwine valley
      Our guide Felipe was great! His descriptions have rounded off the great tour in a wonderful way. The sightseeing and the tastings were very good, as well as the boat trip and lunch. Felipe entertained the German and Italian speaking group with humor and ensured a smooth process. We gladly recommend the tour to the Duoro valley. If you visit Porto you should not miss this.

      Douro is beautiful ... tour cut some corners
      We were so happy that we took this tour of the Duoro. The scenery is beautiful and we had some nice winetastings. We were surprised by a couple of things though. First there was a lot of driving to get to the Duoro Valley. The Duoro is about one hour from Porto, but it took about an hour just to pick up two couples in Porto. We were picked up at 8:10 and the first tour was at 10:30. There were two options at lunch. The fish was OK, but the meat stew was inedible.

      Beautiful tour
      Our tour guide Delfina was awesome. She picked us up promptly from our hotel and was very attentive to outlet needs. At one point my husband and I felt nauseous from the winding roads and she allowed us to sit up front and offered to stop if we needed to. The winery tour was very informative and while I’m not a fan of port we had fun tasting the different varieties. The boat ride was breathtakingly beautiful and the three course meal on the farm was delicious. They served red and white wine at lunch which was much appreciated.we would absolutely recommend this tour.

      Lovely day trip from Porto
      Let me start by saying that my husband are not big fans of organized tours or excursions. However, we knew we wanted to visit the Douro Valley one day during our stay in Porto. We looked at several options ( train travel, but they were working on the train tracks during our stay, meaning delays. Also car rental, but most of them close at 6 pm, which gives you less time, plus the driver can’t drink!) After comparing several tour organizers and different itineraries , we chose Magical Douro. We liked their schedule and the price seemed reasonable. The communication with them was good and at 8 am Sara picked us up from where we were staying, in a small Mercedes van. Her English ( and French ) were excellent. After having picked up some more guests (8 of us in total) we were on our way. The first stop was a winery, where we got to try two different ports, as well as bread, olive oil and jams. The tour through the winery was very informative. We then drove to a restaurant high on a hill top, with a fantastic view, where we got served a three course meal, accompanied by breads and white or red wine. The food was really good and we enjoyed it. After lunch we drove to Piñhao, where we boarded one of the boats for a lazy one hour ‘cruise’ on the Douro and they served us more port :) Back on the bus, we climbed higher and higher and the scenery was breath taking. We ended up at another winery, where we got to try 3 more wines and bread and honey. The setting was just amazing! After that we headed back towards Porto and we were ‘home’ just before 7 pm. It was a fantastic day out and we enjoyed every minute of it. I can totally recommend Magical Douro, and we were lucky to have a great tour guide. Thank you, Sara!

    This tour was a huge disappointment. Instead of a minivan/minibus we had a huge group of 40 people in a bus where the AC did not work properly. The “guide” hardly talked about the history of the area or about anything worth knowing about the wine region, she just basically acted like a supervisor in charge of us not being late from anywhere. Well this was necessary because the schedule was more than tight and there was no time to enjoy the activities at all. She also never informed us about the next program or schedule, so we had mo idea what’s coming next. Her English language skills were also far from good - I doubt that she is licenced tour guide. On the boat tour we were joined by 3-4 other groups. The first wine tasting location was beautiful but when we wanted to go outside to take some pictures our guide suspiciously asked us where we were going and reminded us that we are leaving in 5 minutes. They hardly told us anything about the wines, so basically you can just drink a few different kind of port wines, but i would not call it as a wine tasting. There were no snacks or water either. Then we went to a “fancy restaurant” - to have the cheapest lunch menu (at 2PM) possible. It was not bad, but nothing local/special. Such a wasted opportunity for a great tour. My advice: book another tour without a boat trip and make sure you‘ll have a small group indeed.

    I’m not the type to leave bad reviews but this excursion was not what we had expected. First things first our tour guide was awesome, my issue was with the trip itself.

    1. They updated the booking from a small group to a 66 person mini-bus after we had booked. Big surprise on the day of the tour (for a second I thought I had made a mistake and booked a big tour, but later spoke to two other couples that said the same thing.)

    2. There’s nothing fun about doing a lager group tour in Europe, you’re getting moved along & missing the whole experience. Also this restricts you from seeing certain places and you just feel rushed.

    3. The river cruise was not great, honestly we could have skipped it. You get in a boat packed with people they drive it up 30-min without any explanation of what you’re looking at or about the local vineyards and then you drive back down the same way in silence.

    4. Bring snacks you will be hungry. You don’t eat until around 2pm after you have already done the first wine tour and boat ride.

    If this was a small group around 15 people like it was originally advertised, it would probably have been a great experience.

    Now did we get to drink some wine, have a couple of laughs and learn about Portugal sure. But for the rate you’re paying idk…..

    Truly enjoyed our full day outing to the Douro Valley with Magical Douro. Igor was our guide; and he informed and entertained us throughout the day. The valley was gorgeous; a beautiful boat ride was relaxing. And visiting the vineyards was interesting. Porto is beautiful, but a tour to the Duoro is well worth the time and money, as it transports you to the valley where the magic climate makes all the wine possible.

    Highly recommend this tour, our guide Melinia was very informative and knowledgeable and funny. We went to a small vineyard and got to see and sample the port, then a great lunch and another wine tasting. Finished the day off with a boat trip which was a great relief from the heat

    The boat trip itself was a great way to relax, as the staff gave info on the local sights. The barbecue was excellent - really good and plentiful food, free-flowing drinks and the crew were great fun. Thoroughly recommend.

    Igor & his driver Ribirto were both fantastic!
    It was fun, the group from many different countries were full of life, and the driver made us all feel safe during the entire trip!
    Highly recommend. It’s all day (~9 hours) but very well worth 100 euro.

    A very enjoyable day - but very long. Interesting to hear about the processes involved in producing port and wine. The lunch was good - the boat trip was short (just a round trip along the valley and back), but gave you glimpses of the extent of the individual vineyards. Could have been cut down a little - but the tour guide (Paulo) was very accommodating and informative and went out of his way to ensure everybody enjoyed it. Thank you.

    It was a very rainy day but they split the group up so we had a tour on a smaller boat under cover which was nicer than being on a big group. Milena, the tour guide was friendly and made the trip fun. The food was homely and authentically Portuguese and the wine glass did not stopped getting filled during the lunch. Worth doing, even in the pouring rain the Douro valley is beautiful and the guides at the quintas were very knowledgeable.

    Catia and the driver were very nice. Catia was very helpful and truly a great guide. The Douro valley lunch was great. The only problem was the bus air conditioning was not working properly and it got hot in the bus. With that said the drive back was hot and sticky. Overall a good tour. Obrigado.
