The 15 Best Douro Valley Tours from Porto

100 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $17

A Douro day is a long one — around two hours each way before anything happens. These 15 differ on what fills the middle: how many quintas, whether lunch is included, and whether you get an hour on the river. Harvest is September into October and closes out first.

“Our day tour was fantastic! Our guide, “Jesus,” was incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide. The cancelled boat tour due to the weather was perfectly compensated with extra wine. Overall, it was a wonderful way to conclude our trip in Porto.”

“A wonderful opportunity to spend a day outside of the city and in the gorgeous valley with scenery that is so beautiful it must be seen in person. The tastings were delicious and the lunch was even better. Miguel was our tour guide and really took his time to explain the history of the wine making and interesting bits of information on the different towns we visited. His energy and humor is perfection! Thank you Miguel for the special day!!!”

“Porto is one of the most beautiful wine growing regions in the world. It is a place that I have marked where my retirement home should be. .Having travelled to many countries, this is a strong validation of how much I love this place ; having been to it twice in 7 years. I love love love the scenery, the colours of the vines, the placid waters of the Duoro (and Pinhao) rivers.”

Porto to Douro Valley: two vineyard tastings, Pinhão Rabelo river cruise, and a Sabrosa winery lunch with wine and port.

“I wrote a longer review on tripadvisor, so I’ll keep this brief. The Douro valley is beautiful and its wines are great, so what really separates a fine tour from a great one are the people. This tour killed it in that respect. Zthe guides, Rita & Pedro, were great all day (not easy to do for what was basically a full workday), and the wineries we visited also had great people.”

Douro Valley day from Porto with two Port tastings, a scenic river cruise, and a filling lunch with round-trip hotel transport.

“Let me start by saying YOU must do this tour if you at all like beautiful scenery, wine, good food and the water. The tour started in Porto and we drove with Maria our guide and our small group towards the Douro Valley. Maria was so great. She gave us commentary about the day, asked questions so the whole group got to know each other and answered any questions we had. About halfway there we stopped in a small town for a bathroom break and a quick breakfast at a local pasteria. The views were already spectacular and there was a walking bridge that you could take pictures from and…”
