Douro Valley Tours from Porto: 15 Days in the Vineyards

186 tours  ·  from $14 a head

The valley is two hours east and the days are long, so the operator matters more than the itinerary. These 15 are compared on group size, how many quintas you taste at, whether the boat is a real cruise or a short hop, and what lunch actually is.

“This excursion was absolutely amazing! My husband and I traveled to Portugal for our honeymoon in late October 2025 and we had a fantastic experience on this Douro Valley tour and we're not very big into drinking wine, but we had so much fun at the tastings! Ricardo was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. He kept the day fun and lively and we felt we were in great hands with him! Our driver was also so friendly and very safe. We highly recommend booking this tour if you're ever in Porto!”

“This is one of the best day trips I have been on, from start to finish. Even before start, as I received detailed information about meet up time etc on WhatsApp. Our guide, Luciano, was excellent. The information he provided was spot on, and not too much, not too little. The small bus was also very comfortable, and there were planned toilet and coffee breaks on the drive to and from the Douro Valley. The winery visits were also very informative and good, including the wine tastings. The highlight was lunch, contrary to many other tours I've been on it was delicious. Typical Portuguese dishes accompanied with wine.Read more”

Amarante stop was a great treat as well. He was knowledgeable on all things wine and it was great to hear him speak enthusiastically about the wines. Scrumptious lunch and relaxing cruise. The wineries were good and wine delicious. The scenery one has to see to believe. Overall a day to write home about. Obrigada Ricardo! Fantastic! Also have to say that Ricardo was attentive and polite, and that is not something you forget on a tour. So…”
