Porto District Turer

We enjoyed tour with variety of qine testing. Tour guide, Thomas explained history of Porto and economy and industry of Porto. It was insightful. Also a driver Carlos drives very gentle and make the long journey comfortable. Food was good and only thing I would like to mention about a quality of coffee. I didn't drink coffee after a bit of test the coffee and noticed other partisans didn't finish the coffee. Overall a good experience and worth to join the tour.

Quite unexpectedly, this turned out to be my favourite experience during my three days in Porto. The tour duration was just right, and the audio guide was clear and well-structured in the selected language, although the app did experience a few minor technical issues along the way. The weather was perfect, which made everything even more enjoyable, and the tasting itself was simply delightful. The setting is truly breathtaking: a vibrant, almost surreal garden with roaming animals (including two impressive roosters and even a peacock) overlooking the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge and the Douro River. The service was warm, attentive and knowledgeable, offering insightful explanations of each wine presented. The vintage Port wine, in particular, was a wonderful surprise, sweet, smooth and incredibly enjoyable. As an Italian, if I had the choice, I would happily have my aperitivo here and nowhere else in Porto. Highly recommended!

I booked the boat trip through the Klook platform on the morning of the departure day, for the 2:30 PM slot. I arrived 20 minutes before departure to queue, and once on board, I could choose my own seat. After the boat set off, I was able to admire the beautiful scenery of the Douro River and the surroundings of the Dom Luís I Bridge. It was truly stunning.

Det var en fantastisk endagsutflykt från Lissabon, Obidos, Nazaré och Porto. Verkligen värt resan. Reseguiderna Francisco och Maria är båda fantastiska när de förmedlar Portos kultur och historia. Ett måste för att täcka alla tre städer på en dag. pauser: attraktioner på vägen: guide: resplan: gruppstorlek:

Vid mötesplatsen väntade personal i röda jackor och hjälpte till att guida oss till upphämtningsplatsen. Guiden och chauffören berättade om Porto, från stadskärnan till Braga, på både engelska och spanska, och var noga med att ta hand om alla i bussen. Vädret var dåligt den dagen, med regn, vind och dimma. Trots dessa ogynnsamma förhållanden blev hela resan en berikande upplevelse tack vare den utmärkta guidningen. Helgedomen Bom Jesus do Monte, vattenbanan, de fem sinnenas fontän och att se Bragas stadssiluett när dimman lättade var värt varenda krona, trots vind och regn. Vädret är oförutsägbart, och butiken "Casa das Estampas" här, som specialiserar sig på religiösa ikoner, vykort och lokala souvenirer, har paraplyer (cirka 9 EUR) och regnponchos (cirka 5 EUR) för tillfälliga inköp. Dessa kan vara till stor hjälp om du trots en vind- och vattentät jacka känner dig obekväm under en regnig vinterdag.

Loved this tour, it was informative and Ricardo was a great host as were the ladies at the venues. Would recommend this

The Douro River offers various types of tours. If you're short on time and on a budget, you can opt for this one-hour cruise. The boat does not provide explanations of the sights (bridges), so it's not considered a guided tour. For the meeting point, we followed the link to the second floor of the riverside shopping area, but it turned out to be the boat company's counter with the umbrella by the river. The scenery was beautiful and did not disappoint; it's still one of the activities you should plan when visiting Porto.

Resan var fantastisk, och guiden Ana var mycket noggrann och hade enastående kunskap och erfarenhet. Hon delade med sig mycket om landskapet längs vägen, portvinsproduktionen, Douroflodens vyer och Portugals historia. Det är en resa som snabbt ger en god förståelse för Porto, en upplevelse av portvin och en inblick i den rika matkulturen.

I was a bit worried about going alone before departure, but I really wanted to experience the 516 Suspension Bridge, so I signed up anyway. I was very lucky to meet a fantastic tour guide, Danny! 👍 He not only provided detailed information about the attractions along the way but also kept us laughing, which made me feel comfortable chatting with everyone despite my broken English. The other group members were also very friendly. The tour included a delicious risotto and fish for lunch. Visiting several attractions in one day made for a truly fulfilling and highly recommended itinerary! Thanks to the travel agency and Danny for helping me create such wonderful memories.
