What our guests are saying<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>Amy Bevil<\/div>Kirkland, Canada<\/div><\/div>\nWe could not have asked for a better guide than Tommy who was enthusiastic, passionate and very knowledgeable about the beautiful Douro Valley and its wines. On the journey from Porto we had a very in depth explanation of the history of the region and about the wine making processes, which was expanded on at the boutique winery we visited. A delicious Portuguese lunch followed before our river cruise, allowing us to further appreciate the beauty of the valley. A visit to see the beautiful tiles at Pinh\u00e3o railway station concluded our tour. Tommy was a very attentive host, personable and happy to answer any questions however \u201coff piste\u201d! Highly recommend this tour with Portoalities who were excellent from the start, responding very quickly to emails and offering suggestions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>Azam Malk<\/div>Washington, USA<\/div><\/div>\nWe did the full day Douro Valley tour with a river trip and what a wonderful day! Tommy is an excellent, knowledgeable guide who combines wit and wisdom perfectly. The river tour is in a lovely wooden boat, followed by lunch in a nearby restaurant which was authentic and delicious. We then visited a lovely family of winemakers who enthusiastically told us about their wines and their story. This was a private non-commercial tour, and the wines we tasted were wonderful. We will be bringing our families to do this tour again! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>Patrick Encinas<\/div>Santa Monica, USA<\/div><\/div>\nTaking a Douro Valley wine tour with Sara was one of the best decisions we took in Portugal. She took us on a boat ride in Douro river – it proved to be the right decision as it was a very warm day – and then she showed us a tiny producer with some amazing red wines. We had a private tour at the winery which felt very special. Sara also picked a local restaurant where we had some delicious grilled meat and tuna. This is exactly what we were looking for – thank you Sara for making sure that we had such a memorable experience in Douro!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

On the journey from Porto we had a very in depth explanation of the history of the region and about the wine making processes, which was expanded on at the boutique winery we visited. A delicious Portuguese lunch followed before our river cruise, allowing us to further appreciate the beauty of the valley. A visit to see the beautiful tiles at Pinh\u00e3o railway station concluded our tour. Tommy was a very attentive host, personable and happy to answer any questions however \u201coff piste\u201d! Highly recommend this tour with Portoalities who were excellent from the start, responding very quickly to emails and offering suggestions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> We did the full day Douro Valley tour with a river trip and what a wonderful day! Tommy is an excellent, knowledgeable guide who combines wit and wisdom perfectly. The river tour is in a lovely wooden boat, followed by lunch in a nearby restaurant which was authentic and delicious. We then visited a lovely family of winemakers who enthusiastically told us about their wines and their story. This was a private non-commercial tour, and the wines we tasted were wonderful. We will be bringing our families to do this tour again! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Taking a Douro Valley wine tour with Sara was one of the best decisions we took in Portugal.

We had a private tour at the winery which felt very special. Sara also picked a local restaurant where we had some delicious grilled meat and tuna.
