We booked a trip to the Douro Valley to get a full experience of the region. The guided tour was a way for us to relax and take in the beauty of the area and be able to learn about the different aspects of not only the Douro Valley but the wine and how it’s produced. The first stop brought us to a little town to explore called Vila Real. The two wineries that we visited were both unique in their own ways. The town of the first location of the winery was where Magellan was born and we got to learn about the history. Lunch was included that also featured a nice wine pairing. The boat ride was a nice feature to explore the region.Our guide was great! She was very knowledgeable and added to the experience. I would highly recommend doing this tour if you do not want to rent a car and on a limited constraint.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Milena and Zé were awesome and the same can be said from everyone that was a part of the day. The tour is very worth it and I was incredibly happy to show a bit of my country to my foreign family in this way. Cannot recommend enough!

Sofia Cruz was such an incredible guide. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helpful. She went out of her way to make sure our boys (ages 14 and 11) had a great time on the tour. We highly, highly recommend a tour with Sofia.
