Douro

Start your journey from the comfort of your hotel in Greater Porto, or take advantage of our pick-up service available from hotels in the stunning Douro Valley. Once on board of our private vehicle, you will have the opportunity to personalize your experience over the next 8 hours. Your driver, a Douro local, will not only provide safe transportation, but will also be able to offer in-depth knowledge of the region's history. Explore the best wines, enjoy the most spectacular viewpoints and discover small, lesser-known traditional Wine Estates (our driver can help you with this), where authenticity stands out without the tourist hustle and bustle. Design your own itinerary and we'll take care of the rest. Whether it's a wine-tasting journey, a search for breathtaking views or a visit to the Douro's fantastic Wine Estates, we're here to make your experience unique and memorable.

Miradouro Torguiano De Sao Cristovao Do Douro

Another of our suggestions is a stop at one of the Douro's most emblematic viewpoints, the Miradouro de São Cristóvão, distinguished by Miguel Torga for its magnificent landscape resulting from the work of man over the years, and which is now classified as a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

Cais do Pinhão

We highly recommend a visit to the village of Pinhão, better known as the Heart of the Douro. We might even suggest that you take a short trip along the Douro River in a traditional Rabelo Boat, just like the ones once used to transport Port wine. Take the opportunity to contemplate the beautiful wine-growing landscape made up of vineyards and schist terraces.

Excellent Service

Excellent service! We had Joao as our driver for a day of wine tasting and he was amazing. He was prompt, helpful and willing to do whatever possible to make our trip perfect. We ended up booking him again to take us back to Porto. We would highly recommend this company and Joao as your driver.

Easy Riding in the Douro

We had a great day, the driver was able to accommodate all 7 of us in one vehicle throughout the Douro Valley. I had already built an itinerary, but they checked in a few days before the trip to ensure I didn't need any assistance in reaching out to the places we were interested in going.

Perfect way to experience the Duoro Valley!

The driver - Joao was great. Friendly and prompt, flexible, and kept us on time! He did a great job navigating the roads up to the quintas. This was the perfect way to do wine tasting! Train from Porto, day in the valley with a driver and back on the train that evening!
