Amazing tour and tour guide
May 2022 • Couples
Amazing tour. Carla was our tour guide and she was part of the reason why It was phenomenal. She was a safe driver considering the winding roads and tough traffic. She was very knowledgeable of the valley. The tour was worth every dollar. The wineries were outstanding. Lunch is optional but recommend getting It since she will take you to an authentic Portuguese restaurant for 15 euros a person, It was substantial amount of food and wine. The boat ride was stunning. The views were amazing. The valley is gorgeous and recommend anyone to go.

Best wine tour
Sep. 2021 • Couples
Milena and dianna were the most lovely and knowledgeable tour guides I’ve been with. Your tour will start with a hotel pick up and a wine tour to the Porto wines. After that, a wonderful lunch (not included) and boat ride to see the beautiful Douro Valley at its true beauty. The last winery is truly breathtaking, and surely a must winery to sit, relax, take in the view, and sip some wine. Milena was extraordinary and couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Best in Porto and a must do when visiting Portugal.

Best day of our Porto trip
Apr. 2022 • Friends
There was no time when we weren’t thrilled with the trip to the Douro Valley! The ride was pleasant and the sights were magnificent! Lunch although not planned ahead was superb. It was Easter and most places were closed. John got us into the Restaurante and the meal was great. John made sure we had a coffee break for us and was solicitous of our every need.

Beautiful tour!
I was so impressed with this company! I am travelling on my own and very much wanted to join this tour as I had seen it on GetYourGuide however that would only allow a minimum booking of 2 people. I emailed the company direct and got a very quick response and they were able to book me in for the next morning! The tour guide Sergio was so great and really made the day even better with his knowledge of the area. We were a small group of 8 and that was just the perfect size! The cruise was great, the wine tastings and lunch even better! The lunch was not included however at a cost of €15 which included at least a few glasses of wine each and a three course meal at a winery which was absolutely delicious, it was definitely worth the extra cost. I’m so glad I was able to book last minute for this tour as it has been the highlight of my time in Portugal thus far!

A Great Experience in the Douro Valley!
Jul. 2019 • Couples
This tour was very fun! We were picked up on time outside of our Airbnb in a very comfortable Mercedes van and given water. After picking up the other travelers, we began our 1.5 hour journey to the Douro where we had the opportunity to see some of the most beautiful views ever! Our first stop was at the Peso da Régua where we had the chance to stretch our legs, use the bathroom, grab a quick espresso and see the beautiful views from the bridge. We then got back into the van for a quick 20 minute ride to the boat dock. The boat was very comfortable and cute, offering wine and chips during the hour ride along the river. After the boat ride, we drove about 20 minutes to our first winery/olive oil shop that offered the most beautiful views of the valley! We got to see how the olive oil is made, try some olive oil with almonds and bread, and taste several wines, all while surrounded by the best view. Our next stop was lunch where we enjoyed many wonderful courses while sitting in the shade next to a lovely vineyard. Before leaving, we tasted port wines made there and had the opportunity to buy some if we wanted. Then we hopped back into the van for our ride home where our tour guide took us back to our hotels or Airbnbs. Overall, this was a great tour. However, I wish we had learned more about the Douro Valley and the vineyards there. Our tour guide - although very nice, friendly, and funny - did not offer much information about the Douro Valley's history. We overheard another tour guide from a different company explaining the history and found it very fascinating and would loved to have learned more from our guide. My one suggestion for this tour company is to teach the guides some information about the Douro to provide to the guests. Our tour guide had only been working there a few months, so maybe he was still learning about the Douro Valley as well. I was still very happy to have him as our guide! He was always checking that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. I still strongly recommend this tour and had such a fun day and saw some of the most beautiful views possible!

Best Tour of my life!
Apr. 2019 • Couples
While visiting Porto, my wife and I booked decided to book a tour through Merdian4People. I have taken dozens of tours while traveling and there are a LOT of choices out there, but these guys simply blew away with the best travel experience I've had in my life! My wife and I were with another couple and we treated like celebrities on a VIP tour. Our tour guide Milena was fantastic and went above and beyond in ensuring we had an unforgettable experience. We started off with a 50 minute river cruise which enabled us to get fantastic views of the amazing wineries in the valley. We then went on a tour of an olive museum which included both olive and wine tasting from a quaint and charming winery that offered a truly beautiful view from the tasting room. This was followed by a five course lunch at another winery where the meal was prepared by a charming and talented chef named Fabrice. We then proceeded to sample some vintage 20 and 30 year old ports to end the day. Give Merdian4People a chance if looking to book tours in the Porto area and try to get Milena as your guide. She is funny, charming and she created a wonderful group dynamic. If you like small intimate tours that feel personal, look no further than merdian4people; they know how to do things right!

Well planned and excellent experience - Meridian4People Tour
Dec. 2017 • Family
Did the full day tour to Douro Wine region, our experience was great and everyone enjoyed it. Our driver and guide, Tania, picked us promptly at our apartment and set out to Douro Valley. We visited 2 farms and museum and even stopped for lunch at local restaurant. We stopped along the way for photo, which was scenic. Tania was meticulous in ensuring that we are comfortable through out the trip and explaining to us along the way.
We were also treated to lots of wine tasting and olive oil (excellent).
We were back to Porto around 7pm, tired but satisfied on the entire trip.
Strongly recommend this trip for those who loves wine and don't like driving. You get to sit back and enjoy the view.

Not as advertised
May 2022 • Couples
- Guide/driver was a cool guy.
- Good that they picked us up from accommodation. On time, great comms.

- Advertised as two wineries, went to one and an olive oil place.
- First winery was sandeman, tour with 40 other people and tasting of only 2x most base level port. Minimal you could pay for at the venue was 3x so this felt short on quality.
- stopped at local lunch venue, cheap, not very good food, not a nice place, wine was very Poor quality and acidic.
- third place was olive oil tasting with a bit of wine, overall better quality than the sandeman visit, again part of a very large group.
-Boat tour was okay, one hour around in a small boat, not much of a tour there.

Fun experience overall but not a real wine tasting.
Guide was pretty good and engaged.
Would recommend going for a more expensive one if available.
