Discover the Douro Valley on a full-day experience combining wine, regional gastronomy, breathtaking scenery and a relaxing river cruise, with the added convenience of pickup and drop-off directly at your accommodation.
Throughout the day, we will travel through some of the Douro’s most iconic landscapes, surrounded by mountains, terraced vineyards and the river that gives the region its name.
We will visit two wineries, where you will have the opportunity to taste different wines, learn more about their production methods and discover the stories, people and traditions behind each bottle.
We favour more personal experiences, where there is time to listen, ask questions, taste and better understand the connection between wine, the land and the families who keep the Douro’s winemaking traditions alive.
The experience also includes a regional lunch, inspired by traditional Portuguese flavours and served in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
During the journey, we will travel along the iconic N222, surrounded by terraced vineyards and some of the Douro Valley’s most distinctive scenery.
We will also reach Pinhão, one of the best-known villages in the region, where you can enjoy a 1-hour boat cruise along the Douro River and admire the vineyards and hillsides from a different perspective.
This experience is ideal for travellers looking to discover the Douro in a comfortable, authentic and complete way, without having to worry about getting to and from the meeting point.
From your accommodation to the heart of the Douro — wine, local flavours, breathtaking scenery and the river in one complete day.

03/12/2025Our tour guide Rủi was amazing! He did a great job of making everyone feel safe and included. Both small wineries we went to were splendid with plenty of tastings of red, white, and port. In addition, we had plenty of bread and oil and snacks to munch on. I learned so much on this tour and 100% recommend it to anyone. Hotel pickup also made the whole journey such an easy way to see Douro Valley.

03/12/2025Best day out from Porto! João was engaging, caring and knowledgable (about wine and the region) and looked after the whole day. Good pace, always interesting but not rushed. The wineries were boutique and the lunch served delicious, local dishes and great house wine.

03/12/2025Amazing trip to the Douro Valley; our guide was patient, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. We forgot our backpack at the restaurant we ate at before the tour started, and he was kind enough to swing by and retrieve it before the tour started. The Douro Valley is strikingly beautiful, and we learned so much about local winemaking and history while tasting lovely wines at rustic estates. This tour is an absolute must if you’re passing through Porto.

03/12/2025We had a wonderful excursion with Pedro, our guide. We appreciated the small tour size, the truly small family wineries we visited, and how knowledgeable and passionate our guide was about winemaking in the region. The food and wine were excellent. The boat trip was beautiful, even in the rain. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Porto.

03/12/2025My original review was deleted by Google so reposting because this team deserves 6 stars if i could! Our journey through the Douro Valley with Daily Tours was an experience that touched our hearts in ways we never expected. Our guide, Pedro's kindness (left his family last minute to accommodate our “last minute” group), and genuine love for this region created memories that will stay with us forever. If you are looking for a tour that goes beyond sightseeing and becomes a truly emotional and enriching experience, this is the guide you need. They didn’t just show us the Douro Valley; they made us fall in love with it. Thank you so much for this perfect day!

03/12/2025Great day despite the rain. Our guide was friendly, thoughtful, and well spoken. He had good relationships with the owners of both vineyards we visited which I think facilitated a good trip. Wine tasting and olive oil tasting was superb! I definitely learned a few things! Lunch was a traditional meal which they accommodated to vegetarian which was really amazing! They provided a traditional vegetarian meal not just a substitute! Thanks!!

03/12/2025The tour was exactly what we were hoping for! Gusto was charming and fun and the host/owner of each Quinta was lovely, warm and welcoming! Even with the rain, we had a great time and many laughs with our group. The activities and the timing of how each one was laid out was perfect. Certainly a highlight of our whole trip to Portugal! 💝 Thank you!!!

03/12/2025Rui was a great driver/ tour guide for our day. Not only did he engage with the whole party, and supervise our activities, but he also knew lots and had a great sense of humour. The lunch was great, I particularly liked speaking with the second vineyard’s owner as he discussed the challenges of climate change on Douro Valley (no irrigation) grape cultivation. We had blue skies and it was a perfect day to explore the Douro. Great escape from the city if you are staying for more than 3 days..

03/12/2025Far exceeded my expectations and was a highlight of our trip to Porto. Andreas was friendly, extremely knowledgeable about wine, history and a vast array of subjects, spoke perfect English and navigated the roads with ease. To those looking for a small group Douro valley tour, I would highly recommend.

03/12/2025A great excursion into beautiful Douro with a tour of a few cozy, independent wineries that offered multiple tastings of delicious wine. We also enjoyed a wonderful feast of a lunch home cooked in one of the wineries. Highly recommend!
