      The most beautiful boat tour!!!
      We had an unforgettable experience visiting the Douro Valley, and a boat tour in Pinhão was the highlight of our trip, it is an absolute must! I highly recommend DeltaTur for their exceptional service. A special shoutout to Liliana and to our captain, Rui, for making the trip even more memorable. The river cruise was absolutely amazing—the stunning views, relaxing music, and a few bottles of champagne to enjoy along the way. It was the perfect way to see the beauty of the valley. I can’t wait to return to the Douro Valley in the future. Thank you, DeltaTur, for making our visit truly special!

      Douro Valley Day Trip
      Our trip to the Douro valley was practically perfect in every way. Our guide, Antonio, was friendly and informative. He adjusted to our requests and was incredibly helpful. The wine tasting and lunch was beyond belief. Such a perfect way to spend our last day in Portugal.

      Amazing tour and an amazing guide
      Our guide Ricardo was amazing, he took us to amazing places. Recommend the boat trip, perfect ending of the day. The winery we went to is family owned. We met the grandfather and grandson, very nice people.

      Poor customer service
      I was very disappointed to receive a vague email from Viator the night before our tour, stating that our tour had been canceled by the cruise company. There was no explanation of why and no apology. I would have expected a simple apology and reason for the cancelation. I had to scramble to find another cruise at the last minute.

      Fantastic Douro views on a comfortable boat.
      This tour was very well organised with extremely helpful hosts and a comfortable boat with ample padded seating for the 4 guests aboard. We were impressed at how flexible they were as we made a mistake with the start time and missed the boat to Tua but they suggested we did the trip in reverse and catch the train to Tua, returning by boat which we did. The Douro views are stunning on both the train and boat rides. The lunch was in a traditional Portuguese restaurant which is popular with locals and was generous, delicious and came with carafes of wine. A very good tour.

      Wonderful Day Touring the Duoro Valey
      My husband and I spent a wonderful day with Carlos touring the Duoro Valley and despite the rain we had a great time. The tour started with a pleasant boat ride. We then had a fabulous lunch including tasting a variety of wines at a local winery followed by an amazing tour of this winery that has been in the family for 8 generations. After the tour Carlos put the jeep in 4 x 4 and took us down this windy road through the vineyards. We then passed on the last tasting only because we were still stuff from lunch. Carlos was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent english. Overall a great day.

      Great private boat cruise from Pinhao
      We had an excellent private boat cruise from Pinhao, for an hour and a half. Rui was very responsive when we booked, on email and on phone - and knowledgeable and pleasant skipper Ricardo and the boat was excellent. Sparkling wine and snacks were a lovely touch.

      A day of visual and edible sensations
      Fantastic and full day spent with Juan as our knowledgeable and extremely friendly guide. The scenery as we drove east to the Pinhao area was spectacular in spite of rather dull weather. First stop for lunch at Quinda da Avessada was funny ...we thought the pork, fish, bread, salad and local sausage was the main lunch ... but it turned out to be nibbles ... the soup (with a story), main dish and desert followed. There was no lack of alcohol either, moscatel on arrival, red and white wine and a poet to finish. Then a quick tour of the Quinta before moving on to Casal de Loivos to sample olive oil, honey and their wines after a brief tour. The final stop at Pinhao itself was to take a one hour trip by rabelo on the Douro River. By now the sun was out so the views were spectacular. Juan returned us safely to our hotel, still full of information and very courteous. We felt extremely well looked after, he was a considerate driver and thoroughly nice young man. We highly recommend this trip and especially Juan.

      Wonderful Tour of Douro Valley!
      We had a wonderful experience with Deltatur's Wine Tasting Tour. They were incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish. They picked us up at our hotel and took us on a boat tour, 3 tastings and a lunch. All experiences were wonderful! Our guide Raquel was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly! It was one of the best things I did in my 9 days in Portugal and I would highly recommend it!

      Thank you Pedro for a great Douro valley trip!
      The half day trip with Pedro was great! We were picked up at our Hotel in the morning and spend most of the day on the road. Great company, porto wine tasting and gourgous views. Our tour guide was attentive, knew the best spots where to take a break and made this day outstanding!

      Douro Off Road - Unique way explore the Douro Valley
      My girlfriend and I did the Douro Off Road trip: a full day activity which included port/moscatel tastings, 4x4 tour through the vineyards, a boat tour & an extensive lunch. The 4x4 brought us to spots and views that we would never be able to see otherwise: truly astonishing views and a great way to explore the Douro valley! Our guide Bruno gave us the necessary explanations about these landscapes and how they contribute to the unique wines and port wines produced in the Douro. His enhusiasm and knowledge was contagious! Highly recommended for everyone who wants to explore the Douro Valley and likes a bit of adventure!

      Fantastic experience from start to finish
      My partner and I did the live Douro tour whilst staying in Lamego. We were unsure about spending so much money as it is quite expensive for a day trip. But it was worth every penny and has by far been the best experience of our 2 week holiday in Portugal. The Quinta visit (5 course lunch + wine and port tasting) was incredible. We ate and drank so much that we didn’t need dinner that evening. Bruno (our guide) was expectionally knowledgable and friendly and just went out of his way to give us the best tour we could have had. We highly recommend

      Best guide for Authentic Douro River Valley!
      Portugal and the Douro Valley were made so much more personal and authentic because we were lucky enough to be given Bruno as our guide. Every part of our day was like being on a trip with someone we had always known, showing us his favorite sights, from 4x4 through the vineyards to lunch and port/muscat at a lovely Quinta to the boat ride on the Douro. Obrigado Bruno!!!

    Incredible views of the Douro valley. Mini bus collection from the centre of Porto, a (longish) drive, approx 1 1/2 hours into the Douro valley, a boat trip, great (and substantial!) lunch, train ride back to the mini bus, a vineyard tour and tasting, and then back to Porto. 8 hours in all, but our guide Manuel was exceptional, keeping our interest, and passing on lots of detail of the area and other towns, villages, restaurants, and vineyards we could visit. A very capable young man, and a good driver to boot!!
    Thought we might have been overpaying, but actually this was good value. Highly recommended.

    A fantastic boat ride up the Douro River with lots of information about the area and Port wine. Fantastic lunch (way too much food) at a restaurant in Tua, then train ride back. A perfect day!! Highly recommend because you see enough of the river (1 1/2hours) then a quick train ride back (20 minutes) meet at Pinhao dock so if you are in the area already you can experience it all for a great price.

    My husband and I had limited time in the Duoro Region, and chose to spend it in Peso da Regua, a former hub for transporting wine on to Porto.
    To get the most out of our time, we took the suggestion of our Hotel, and booked a private tour with DeltaTur (https://www.deltatur.pt/) as they had a tour which was perfect for us!
    We were picked up at our Hotel in a late model Mercedes, driven by our wonderful guide Antonio. First stop, after a drive quite high in the hills, along mostly quaint cobblestone roads, we arrived at a Winery for a wine tasting (3 wines and a port), and a tour of the old, prior, olive oil production facility, and then a tasting of their excellent olive oils.
    Next stop was to the train station where we rode to the next town, Pinhao, in vintage coaches where the windows went down allowing unobstructed view of the breath-taking scenery. We returned to Regua via a private boat owned by DeltaTur, along with only 6 others (with another DeltaTur guide), so it was still very private. The boat ride was amazing...there are not enough superlatives to describe the beautiful scenery! After returning to Regua, we had lunch in a picture-perfect restaurant situated at a bend in the river, for yet another great view.
    Throughout all of this, our tour guide Antonio was great - informative, attentive and very helpful. The other staff of DeltaTur were also friendly and helpful, giving the impression that they were very happy in their jobs. This was truly a first class experience, which we heartily recommend!!
    Thanks again Antonio!

    This trip did not live up to my (maybe too high) expectations
    - Started late from Porto and a very long car ride to the destination
    - The boat ride was beautiful, lovely area, but was cramped as there were too many people on board
    - The lunch was a disgrace, a restaurant catering to what seemed about a hundred people, plastic chairs next to the road, food looked so bad we hardly touched it.
    - Train ride was great, even if short.
    - the wine tasting up the hill was scenic and done with much enthusiasm by the local employee
    I had expected something much better / premium considering the price and description.

    Gonzalo was a wonderful guide! He had good communication pre tour and spoke perfect English during our trip. The ride to the train was fun getting to know the other guests and have Gonzalo explain the terrain. He was very knowledgable as he is from the region. He gave us good instructions for the train ride and then drive us to a beautiful vineyard where the meal was outstanding. We learned about wine and how it is made. Lunch was followed by a pleasant boat road.I highly recommend this tour as the train ride made the day most memorable. Gonzalo was the best and a safe driver navigating the narrow roads!

    We spent a wonderful day in the company of Gonçalo, who was a perfect guide and as you can dream of having. He is passionate about his region and explained a lot to us, he took the time to stop for breathtaking views! In short, we felt like we were spending the day with a friend! We recommend this tour.

    We were picked up at our Airbnb by our wonderful guide Miguel. The personal service shown to us right at the beginning of our day long tour was a sneak peak of the rest of the day. The four of us were driven to the Douro Valley where we caught a boat and traveled up the river to a wonderful stop for lunch. The food served was amazing and delicious. It was served family style and we had, beef, salad, rice, potatoes, chips, cheese, breads and prosciutto. We thought we will never eat all this food but we did. I would go back to this location just to have another meal here. We then took the train back to town and drove to a vineyard where we were served a tasting of wines , ports and olive oil. the young lady serving us gave an excellent description of each. We then headed back to Porto along a different route which was very picturesque, stopping for some amazing views and photos.
    Through this whole experience was Miguel who never stopped being helpful, sweet, knowledgeable and funny. None of this would of been as memorable or fun if we didn't have Miguel as our guide. If you have the chance to take this tour see if you can have Miguel as your guide.

    Wonderful views, beautiful landscapes. The boat was very comfortable, smooth sailing, where nature with its exuberance enchanted us at every moment.
    Our Guide ANTONIO CARDOSO, a true gentleman, paid us all attention and told us a lot about the local history. It was a perfect trip, I would do it multiple times without getting tired... the perfect atmosphere!
    The spectacular lunch, the visit to the CAVE was unforgettable.
    Returning on the train was an added plus..... I recommend the experience!

    It was a wonderful day, I highly recommend this private tour. Our guide, “António” was very friendly, professional and attentive, providing a very assertive and interesting overview of the Douro region and all the details of the trip and its activities. Both the train ride and the boat ride were beautiful. The visit to “Quinta do Bucheiro” was the highlight of the visit, where we enjoyed a true and delicious traditional lunch with a wine tasting guided by “Roberto”. It was more than just a lunch as part of an activity, it was a real learning experience about the importance of wine production, and how you can enjoy the relationship between different types of wine and different dishes. I highlight the exceptional way in which we were welcomed into the home of a family with enormous tradition and history in the Douro region in which Roberto, being part of the 8th generation, transmitted to us in such a passionate and beautiful way the dedication and perseverance of the people of this region. of the Douro. We remember that wine production is not just a business, but rather a strong family “feeling” that is passed down from generation to generation. Thank you for the exceptional day you provided us.
