Private Tour From Porto : Douro Valley And Green Wines

We were visiting Porto via a cruise, and I was hesitant about booking a Duoro Valley tour due to our limited time in port (8:00 am to 4:30 pm). I communicated with Pedro from Ten for Tours via email, and he assured me that a day trip to the Douro Valley was possible! The only omission would be skipping the Rabelo boat cruise from Pinhao due to our limited time. This was our second visit to the Douro Valley, and we wanted to experience more than just the usual Port wine tastings. The Duoro Valley and Green Wines tour allowed us to do just that. We first stopped at a small producer to taste Green wines. The winery was extremely small and the visit was nothing special, but the wines we tried were quite good. I will say that it was not a fully immersive green wine experience. There are other dedicated green wine tours that would be better suited for that if that is what you were seeking, but this tour does allow you to taste quality regional green wines. We next visited Favaios, a larger a scale winery where we tasted Moscatel and Port wines that were exquisite. I’m not a huge fan of Port wines, or sweet wines, but everything that we tasted here was fabulous! The winery guide Maria was also fantastic. She gave us an informative tour of the facility, explained how the wines were produced, and then provided us with a nice tasting. We thoroughly enjoyed it and purchased several bottles to ship back home to the US, which is always very telling for us. If we like the wine, we are gonna buy it! We next stopped for lunch at a scenic resturant high in the Duoro Alta region. It was a full meal with regional Portuguese cuisine that included bread, Caldo Verde soup, Bacalhau com Natas (or similar), a pork loin with typical sautéed carrots and cabbage, and a rich chocolate cake. The food was overall good, although the pork loin entree was a bit dry. However, good quality wine and coffee were also served with the meal and we left quite satisfied. We drove along a scenic route back to the ship, allowing us to view the beautiful terrace of the Duro Valley, and to stop for a few pictures. The views were not as breathtaking as the more typical route that I took on a prior visit, but it was great to see the Douro Valley from a different route given that it was our second visit. Also, bear in mind that if we had been able to take the full tour, we would have also seen additional scenic views from the Rabelo boat. So the full day tour is likely incredible. The best part of our tour was having Pedro as a guide. He was very knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. His luxury Mercedes Van was clean and comfortable. We had a great experience, and I would happily choose Ten for Tours again. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide Sarah was absolutely wonderful! Unfortunately, we could only do a half day in Duro, but she made the best of the time. We had a great tour!

Wow! What an absolutely fantastic day we have had today on a private tour with Pedro. We were picked up at our hotel in Porto at 10am and arrived at Favaios for our winery tour & wine tasting at about 11.30am. Maria was our host and she was extremely knowledgeable & friendly. We sampled two Moscatels and a Port which were all superb. Next we had a lovely meal in a nearby restaurant at about 1pm. Then at 2pm we were driven to Pinhao where we boarded the boat for an hour’s trip on the Douro. We were blown away by the beautiful scenery! We arrived back at our hotel in Porto at about 5.15pm. We cannot recommend this company highly enough. Pedro is a fantastic, knowledgeable and professional tour guide and we will hopefully return to Portugal and use Ten for Tours again in the near future.

Pedro picked us up right on time, explained everything we were going to do and see in detail, and then executed a flawless tour! Very knowledgeable, entertaining and enjoyable day. Everything was a highlight but the vineyard and wine tasting was spectacular. A must see if visiting Porto and be sure to ask for Pedro! 5 Stars!

Great day with Pedro, we only booked 1/2 day tour but it was so much more than expected, great tour guide in Pedro, very knowledgeable and friendly, he made us feel at ease, great winery and he made excellent wine choice, winery tour was private , personal and informative , lunch was also exceptional at mountaintop vista, local foods, finally drive thru valley was well narrated by Pedro, providing lots of stops for photo ops. Very nice day

Was promptly picked up, very nice Mercedes van, comfortable, roomy and clean, good air conditioning,, Pedro was knowledgeable well spoken, knew wine industry very well and history,, Pedro was pleasant and friendly offering extra information to all questions, winery tour was private group of 4, very good, Pedro had recommendations for wine selections that where excellent, the lunch site had majestic views and hearty portions along with two wine pairing and and a pre dinner port,,, loved the personal touch’s, glad we didn’t do the commercial port wine tour, had a local farmer give us a fresh picked bunch of grapes as he brought his produce to market, then great views as we traversed the roads back to Porto, excellent trip with Pedro

A great day trip to the valley for wine. Some unique small winery experience. Pedro was friendly and well organised meaning a very smooth trip.

What a wonderful experience from pickup to drop off!! Photo stops, little vineyard, special lunch location…. Sarah was so knowledgeable and our trip to Duoro Valley has been the highlight of our time in Porto- highly recommend!!!

We had an excellent drive from Porto to Lisbon. Our driver Pedro made the trip educational, exciting and pleasurable throughout the whole trip! I highly recommend Pedro and this company !

We had a wonderful Douro Valley wine and cruise trip. Despite booking literally the day before, everything was arranged so efficiently and the price with a private car was very reasonable. A special thanks to Eduardo, our excellent driver and host. He was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience smooth and relaxing. The company was extremely organized with timing and schedule. The driving was comfortable, the wine tour was great, and the boat trip was calm, scenic, and absolutely worth it. We totally recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Douro Valley.

Pedro was awesome. Very informative and had a fun time. Good wine too!

We enjoyed a fantastic trip with Pedro. Communication was excellent. Pedro is very personable and chatty. 2 excellent vineyard tours, a delicious lunch and a lovely boat trip. We booked the full day group tour, but we were the only guests on the day, visiting a green wine region and then the Douro wine region to learn about Port production and Muscatel.

We had such an amazing experience with Pedro as our guide! He drove us all around to different wineries and truly made the day so much fun. He provided excellent service from start to finish, was incredibly friendly, and fit right in with our group. His vehicle was very clean and comfortable, and you could tell he really cared about making sure everyone had a great time. Pedro went above and beyond to make the experience special for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!

Our guide Pedro was excellent for our half day tour. We learned a lot from him on route. Comfy transport, amazing wineyard with an excellent lunch, beautiful views followed by port tasting. Pedro stopped at some great viewpoints on the way where we got some great pictures of the stunning Douro valley. Highly recommend especially if you can only manage 1/2 day.

Best way to end our trip in Portugal. We visited 2 wineries and a river cruise. Sara made the day fun and was very knowledgeable about the area.

Eduardo was punctual, friendly, and patient with our requests for photos. We enjoyed being introduced to both a small local winery and a large well-known winery. The lunch at the winery and the boat ride on the Douro river, were already included in the tour price. Other friends, who booked through other operators, paid more for their tour and paid separately for lunch and wine tasting at only one winery! The van was top notch and the drive was flawless. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time! Sergio was an excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable host. Great selection of food, drink and location.

We would give this tour ten out of five stars if we could. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Porto. Excellent service by Pedro, who was very knowledgeable and engaging. The tour of the wine cooperative was very interesting, and our passionate tour guide taught us a lot about the wine making process. The lunch was the best food we have had in the region so far. Top notch meal with wine and delicious desserts. This tour company works very hard for their customers and please don't hesitate to book if you want a small, intimate tour that's worth every penny.

Pedro was a pleasure to spend the day with. He’s an expert guide that even with traffic and a very bad car accident on the way there (he didn’t get in an accident) got us to all our stops with plenty of time to enjoy the rich experiences. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

We had an absolutely incredible experience on our tour from Porto to the Douro Valley. Our guide was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating insights about the history, culture, and winemaking traditions of the region. The drive through the valley was breathtaking, and our guide made sure we stopped at the most scenic viewpoints along the way. The wine tastings were perfectly chosen, giving us a real taste of the Douro’s unique flavors and character. Afterward, the boat ride down the river was the perfect way to relax and take in the stunning landscapes from a different perspective. Everything was seamless, well organized, and enjoyable from start to finish. This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal, and we couldn’t recommend our guide highly enough. If you’re visiting Porto and want to truly experience the Douro Valley, this is the way to do it!

We had a wonderful experience and a great day exploring the green wine region of Portugal, the Douro Valley and a boat ride down the river with scenic views. Our guide Pedro is most knowledgeable and we learned so more about the area as well as Portuguese traditions and culture. The roads we took had the most spectacular views of the Douro valley. The guide makes all the difference when going on a tour and Pedro made our tour simply memorable. We highly recommend this private tour

Super fun and unique experience. Pedro made sure we were comfortable the whole time and took us to some unique spots. Very small and personal tour, not a big box bus with 50 ppl.

This experience blew our expectations out of the water. From the beginning of the day at 9am to the end of the day at 5pm, we loved every single second of our experience. Pedro was our local guide and his service was 10/10. He knew so much about Porto and the Douro Valley, gave us a whole list of local recommendations, and was fantastic company the entire day. The local wineries were fantastic and Pedro stopped to take pictures of us in such picturesque areas along the Douro Valley. I highly recommend this experience with Ten for Tours to everyone who wants a luxurious, intimate day tasting great wine and seeing beautiful sights. It is worth every single penny, trust me.

Great experience with this company and the guide, Pedro, who was super friendly and provided interesting information throughout the trip. We went to some amazing wineries that I believe only this tour can arrange.

This tour was a dream! Beautiful vineyard views, delicious green and port wine tastings, and a fantastic chef-prepared lunch that felt so authentic and special. The boat ride on the Douro River was the perfect way to end the day relaxing and scenic. Pedro C was warm, knowledgeable, and made everything feel easy and personal. One of the best experiences we had in Portugal. Highly recommend!

Views were smashing and the service was great, Pedro was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed our experience!

This Douro Valley tour was unforgettable! The views were absolutely stunning — vineyards, river, and mountains all around. Our guide Pedro was fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience feel more personal. The highlight was the amazing lunch, delicious food and wine. Highly recommend!

Amazing day. Wonderful host. Pedro was a brilliant host with fantastic local knowledge. Top notch transport. We visited some great wineries in awesome locations. The valley is spectacular. Pedro arranged a super local lunch and river cruise for us. What a day ! A 5 Star experience. Would highly recommend.

It was a great tour along 2 beautiful vineyards in Portugal, a delicious lunch and a cruise in the duoro. Our guide and driver Goncalo has guided and unburdened us excellently. Highly recommended!

A great day out with a wonderful guide. Pedro has a wealth of knowledge and has created a fascinating tour through the Douro valley.

Great itinerary, minibus and guide! Pedro is exceptional tour guide and entertainer. Winery tours and river boat were well worth it. Having a restaurant lunch included made the trip complete. Will highly recommend.

Great wine and very nice staff! Perfect for a family trip and to understand more about Douro valley and the production of different wines.

We had the best time with Ten for Tours exploring the Douro Valley. The team was super friendly, professional, and made everything feel easy and fun. The wine tasting was fantastic — delicious wines and a great vibe. Lunch was perfect, with amazing food and views. And the boat trip on the river with friends was such a chill, beautiful way to take it all in. Everything was well organized but never rushed. Just a perfect day. Highly recommend!

Love it! The tour guide was great and the views are incredible. I think i started to know more about wine 🤣 I loved the whole experience! I highly recommend it! Top!

It was a fantastic experience! The Douro Valley is a stunning place not to be missed! The service was of high quality, the guide Pedro was very professional and very friendly! The wines and gastronomy are excellent! The landscapes are postcard-worthy. I recommend it!

This was one of the best day trips we took while in Portugal. Well organized in small groups. Our host Pedro was not only very knowledgeable about the area, but also about the grapes used in the wine making that are native to Portugal. He was funny, very talkative and wants to make sure we are all enjoying the trip. It’s a great trip a short boat ride on the Douro river was beautiful, the wineries are amazing and the hosts are superb. Lunch was also a highlight of this trip. All in all, definitely a trip worth taking.

The experience was great, the views incredible and the team very friendly I really recommend anyone to do it and feel that experience

I did a Porto to Lisbon tour with this company, perfect service and the driver was very professional and knowledgeable. I recommend 100%.

The wine taste was very good, amazing experience. Would love to do it again and very much would recommend. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Amazing experience 🤩 went with a group of friends and it was something else, from the boat ride to ( a lot) wine taste all perfect. Can't forget the guides, they were super attentive and funny, Ju and Pedro we are coming back!

If you're looking for the ultimate wine tour experience, go to Douro Valley, where you'll be guided by the most passionate and knowledgeable Expert guide—someone who truly elevates the whole experience. From the moment we met our guide, we knew we were in for a treat. His deep connection to the region, its history, and its wine culture was palpable. He not only explained the origins of each vineyard but also shared the stories behind the families who have been cultivating grapes here for generations. The tour was perfect, obrigado Anthonio Ten4Tours ☑️

From start to finish, our experience was seamless and unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or simply looking to enjoy a relaxing time, this experience checks all the boxes. The combination of stunning views, delicious wines, and expert guidance makes it a must do activity for anyone visiting the Porto region. A truly memorable experience that I will cherish for years to come. Carla

Spending a day knowing the Douro region was an unforgettable experience. The landscape is simply stunning: a landscape that goes far beyond beauty, because it really touches the soul. Each curve of the road reveals an even more charming view, making the tour special from beginning to end. But what made this experience truly unique was the guidance of our guide, Pedro Carneiro. Extremely attentive, kind and passionate about what he does, he shared Portugal’s history, culture and traditions in an engaging and genuine way. In addition, there were numerous attitudes of care and kindness that made us feel very well received and really special throughout the whole tour.

Service provided with excellence by Pedro, from the driving of the vehicle, and the excellent choices to visit in the Douro, sights, wineries and on the boat ride.

Unforgettable visit. Departure in the morning with tasting of the Portuguese "Vinho Verde", very very good, a discovery for me, we were received by the owner of the farm, someone very nice who gave us clear explanations about the making of wine. Then, departure to the Douro region, we visited the wine cellars of "Favaios" guided tour in French, we saw the convents where the wine is fermented as well as the manufacturing process. Finally, a nice tasting of this wine exclusively produced in this region of the Douro. Hearty, typically Portuguese meals in a beautiful restaurant. Then departure to Pinhão where we took a boat ride on the Douro River, enjoy the beautiful scenery. We had the opportunity to go to a viewpoint, enjoy this whole valley. All day we had explanations from our very nice, quiet Pedro Guide, who organized the tour with time without rushing or stressing us. The car very comfortable, with air conditioning. It was very hot, beautiful sunshine, we were really lucky, and of course, we chose the company well to make this tour. To make the eyes firm again!!!.

Very friendly, personal attention all highlights in a tour, new v class fully equipped with all amenities So a well organized tour with professional guide and luxury means of transport

Pedro, our guide was great Experienced, friendly, informed, welcoming. The vehicle was comfortable, the views incredible, the visits rewarding.
