Very good experience with Rita and Miranda, they are both very kind and funny. After few wines, strangers became friends. Nice lunch and wine tasting. Got tipsy in the end. Very worth doing it in Porto. Also the views of autumn are amazing. Highly recommended!

Wonderful tour with Rita and our Driver Miranda was amazing. He carefully assisted with a member of our party who had limited mobility, every step of the way! Thank you for making this tour a fabulous experience!
Absolutely incredible and flawless execution through and through. Great wine, great food, wonderful company and beautiful tour. This is the one you want!
We had an outstanding guide that made the excursion excellent. Our guide Ricardo was energetic and enthusiastic with great knowledge describing what we were seeing on our way to the Douro valley. The wineries visit was great and the food at lunch was amazing and on top of this there was no limit on the good wine they served us. Ricardo sense of humour is bar by none and he really made the day so enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky to get Ricardo you’ll get the cream of the cream! Great value for the price!
A very relaxing, scenic day. You become friends with the tour guide as well as the other people on the tour.
Helena Fernandes and Luis Rodrigues is the Best touroperator in all Portugal 💪💪
Ricardo the tour guide and Anna the driver is an amazing tandem! Both are accommodating and amazing! We enjoyed the day trip to Duomo, wine tasting and boat trip! Will certainly sign up again with living tours on our next trip!
Great experience, fantastic people - Helena and the driver. Excellent organization.
Anna y Ricardo very friendly , good value for money. Beautiful views and very informative.
Elena Fernandes and Luis Rodrigues where perfect and the best guide that I had
Absolutely incredible experience! Christian and Rui L are the best - made it such a fun and interesting experience. Highly highly recommend!
We had such a fun time, would recommend this tour!
It was nice experience with our guide David. We could visit duoro valley at relaxed pace.
Thank you David and Miranda. We had to cancel our train to Pinhao due to construction. This was an excellent option!
We had a wonderful time on our Duoro Valley wine tour with David and Miranda. We got to learn about the history of Port Wine and wine in the Duoro Valley region, while sipping on local wines and port. The lunch was delicious, the wine was strong, and the company was wonderful. Would definitely book for your visit.
David & Miranda were absolutely fantastic and made the entire experience enjoyable!
David and Miranda really looked after us during our day in the Douro valley. Fantastic day and highly recommended.
This tour was a highlight of my solo trip to Portugal! I chose this as a little birthday treat for myself and was so delighted. Our guide David was educational, kind, and also funny. (The themed music was a nice touch) Our driver Mr Miranda was great in ensuring our safety and he took some pictures for me as he saw I was solo traveling! Additionally, the tour itself was so beautiful! Saw two different vineyards, and the lunch was so good! 10/10 experience and would recommend to a friend or a fellow solo traveler. I also made some friends with some other couples traveling. Though I was alone, I felt very welcomed. Thank you David & Mr Miranda for making my trip so special.
Really nice way to get to Douro and see some remote areas that are difficult to travel to independently. Nice lunch. Boat ride. Visit Croft winery and a restaurant/winery for lunch and cellar tour. Highly recommend as a day trip option from Porto. David and Miranda are wonderful!
David and Miranda were amazing. 10/10 very knowledgeable, funny & good driver.
Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Everything exceeded my expectations. The guide Licignio and bus driver Julio were incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail. Their dedication to providing an exceptional experience truly stands out. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend them to anyone. I would definitely recommend this tour! Five stars well deserved!
Jorge was excellent. His knowledge and ability to relate it to us and with us was amazing. The food was amazing at the winery. I would recommend Jorge and this tour anytime.
I had a great time. Miranda & Rita were and still are the greatest tour guides of all time. Miranda is an excellent driver and Rita is an excellent and funny tour guide. They were always on top of everything, and ensured that there was enough time for all the activities
My friends and I had a wonderful experience, the vibes were good, and the wine was delicious!!! Rita was very funny and entertaining. Overall, we had a great time and made new friends!
Wonderful, yummy and fun!! I would recommend to anyone.
Jose, Rita and Miranda are just awesome!!!!!
We had an absolute great time! Our tour guide/driver, Francisco, was great as well. We were not aware however that the tour was in Portuguese and English, so we couldn’t communicate too much with the other couples in our group.
We loved the whole experience. It was a shame that English speaking booked a Spanish tour, but apart from that we had a great time.
Ricardo and Joel were so friendly and welcoming of all of us. We had such a great time and lunch was fantastic. We chose the cod and it was 10/10
The tour was lovely, we went with Ricardo and Joel who were very knowledgeable on the wine and the region. The tour takes you to a nice village, then a winery/lunch place, then a boat tour, and finishes with a winery. The entire experience start to finish was very thoughtful and gave you a nice set of experiences. Would recommend.
Guide was amazing! (Ricardo) - food was also excellent and saw two contrasting vineyards for a bit of a taste of different experiences. Could have done with a few more tastings!
Ricardo and Joel were amazing. Ricardo is clearly very knowledgable about Duro Valley and history behind the wineries. Would definitely recommend .
Ricardo and Joel were great! My husband and I had an amazing experience!
Joel and Ricardo were amazing
Great guide and experience. Loved seeing a smaller and larger vineyard
Ricardo and Joel were great! The boat tour I thought offered more of a view and wine experience but it just a boat ride.
We had the best time on this tour! Family friendly, plenty of wine and views of the Douro Valley.
Had a very nice day with guides Licinio and Julio. Beautiful area and nice port
This was a wonderful day full of laughter, learning, beautiful views and lots of fun! Licinio and Julio were great guide/driver. We brought our one year old along and they were incredibly accommodating and welcoming. We genuinely appreciate it!
Our guide Lcinio and our Driver Julio were wonderful! They made it in an amazing experience!
Visit of two wineries, including a full lunch. They took us to a boat tour for a 30 min ride. Day started at 8:20, ended up back in Porto around 1800.
Good balance of experience without being too in depth.
Very well organized, great time!
Our guide Luis was excellent. Very knowledgeable. Kind! Ensuring we had everything we needed! Great experience! Highly recommend! Our meal at the winery was outstanding!
Amazing experience! Well organised, and a great way to see Douro in a day! My partner and I are not big on wine but still really enjoyed the tour and tastings. Our guide and driver, Licinio and Miranda, were great and very engaging! The only note I have is that the tour ran a little bit longer than expected and we ended up getting back an hour later.
Licinio was an amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable, personable, and made the trip such a fun time! Very much appreciated everything. I would 10000% recommend this tour. Miranda was also our driver. It was a safe and smooth trip. 10/10
A fantastic trip, thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the day. Lots of variety throughout the day, wine tasting, scenery, river cruise, lunch and a walking trip including the Cathedral. Our guide, Licinio was informative, interesting and looked after us all, Miranda was a great driver, we felt safe throughout the day, we were dropped off and picked up outside each venue.
Licinio and Miranda were great! The tour was fantastic - small group size, delicious wine and food, gorgeous views, and the perfect pace. The day flew by and was a huge highlight of the trip! Thank you!!
It’s was an amazing experience with an excellent guide Livonia and Miranda
It’s really valuable tour, definitely recommend to join in!
