Overview

Embark on an exclusive private tour through the breathtaking Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a winemaking history spanning thousands of years, guided by me - a local enthusiast who thrives on sharing genuine experiences that turn clients into friends.

Before diving to Douro, we will make a brief stop to explore a hidden gem rich in history: Amarante.

Once in the Douro Valley, you'll be treated to amazing viewpoints and beautiful vineyards. You'll have the chance to enjoy exquisite wines, along with local olive oil and honey. You will also have the opportunity to savor a delicious traditional Portuguese lunch.

But that’s not all: your experience is improved with a boat tour along the Douro River. Additionally, if available according to the schedule, a delightful train ride on the river side to Pinhão will be included.

Don't miss the chance to create memories that will stay with you for long. Reserve your spot now and start an adventure of discovery unlike any other.
