Pinhao Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

This was such a wonderful experience! Andreia and Valdemar are knowledgeable, kind, and gracious guides. We had the opportunity to visit two quintas that felt much more local than the big producers. We felt taken care of at every step. I would book this again!

Excellent, great, brill, ace.... cant think of any more superlatives! Jose our guide ( forgive if name not correct) was amazing and very knowledgable. We had our doubts about visiting a "smaller" winery but we were blown away by this tour.... have no doubts this experience is excellent and well worth doing! Oh, and the wines 🍷🥂 of course are delicious 😄👍

We had an amazing day with Andreia and Valdemar. Every element had been carefully planned and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly throughout. The wine tastings, river cruise, authentic Portuguese lunch and sightseeing were all outstanding. Andreia had an extensive knowledge of and passion for the valley and Valdemar’s driving round some difficult roads was amazing. It was so special having a private tour with just the four of us. We will all remember this day for a long time.

Simply the best experience! We enjoyed 3 excellent winery tours along with a very knowledgeable explanation of the wine and port making process and history of the Douro Valley. We have experienced many wine tours over the years, but none as lovely as this. Highly recommended.

Excellent guide who had a brilliant sense of humour. The wines were delicious

Wonderful experience. Beautiful sites. Not long and boring. Our tour goddess was warm friendly and awesome! We will definitely repeat!

Great boat tour with a port wine glass with Ivo and Simon

The itinerary is fabulous. Maria was rhe perfect guide. Full of knowledge and caring. Very fun. Carlos, our ship’s captain, was great. Highly recommend for an enjoyable couple of hours on the Douro River

Tour led by Antonio Cardoso, very punctual and attentive! Excellent trip!

This tour is excellent, we are so glad we chose it. The vineyards are varied and the wine tasting sessions so friendly and informative. We had a great group of 6 for the day, and it was the perfect amount. Andreia is a wonderful tour guide. She is so friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and winemaking process, and speaks to each couple individually to make a personal tour. She is also a very good photographer! Valdemar is an excellent driver and was very accommodating to our needs. Thank you! Lydia and James

We loved this tour! Despite a mix up with our booking, we were able to join a group tour and had a fab time learning about the valley, taking in the scenery, meeting new people and tasting the wine. Crispim really went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time.

Fun boat trip on a nice modern boat with 14 people. The guide also went back on the train. Nice to see the Douro like this.

We were running late and missed the boat , no problem! We emailed the office and they arranged an alternative immediately so we could catch the boat we missed at another location. So helpful and flexible! Lunch was fabulous!

Such a brilliant experience - Pedro picked us up directly from our Airbnb, took us to a fantatsic wine tasting before taking us for a traditional portuguese lunch, which was really delicious. The afternoon viewing of a cooperative winery was exquisite. We even had time for a quick swimming break, before enjoying an evening river cruise. Such a fantastic day - would recommend so highly!

Our guide was there a few minutes early and met us outside our hotel. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out different facts and points of interest while we made our way to the Douro Valley. We stopped at a gorgeous overlook, and he explained about the olive trees. We stopped at various points of interest in Pinhão and took our cruise from there. The cruise was very relaxing and there was a pleasant breeze. The two estates that we visited held nice tours. The tastings included a nice variety and lunch was delicious. We booked a wine tour and thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson that came with it.

A very positive experience
