Top Pinhao Outdoor Activities

We had a lovely boat tour on the Duoro River that included a sample of Port wine. The scenery is breathtaking and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable.

It was an inexpensive short boat trip to give a different perspective on the river. The guides are charming and knowledgeable. The more questions you ask, the more you will get out of the trip.

We had a great day in the Douro with Nuno who was an excellent guide. He picked us up at the hotel and we first of all had a one hour cruise on the river. Then we drove up to the Douro bend for some great photo opportunities, before going to Sao Martinho de Anta for an alfresco lunch. We then visited the miscatel winery at Favairos before a scenic and spectacular drive through the remotest vineyards above Pinhao. Nuno was excellent company and we learned a lot about the region and its history and about wine prouction in general. Highly recommended.

Good tour guides with lots of info. Anyone with a mobility impairment should knowthere is a very steep walk upwards from the dock to the train station. I also really liked that the genorousity with the sparkling wine and the care and attention from Lillian from start to finish.

Relaxing way to see the natural beauty of the Douro River Valley! Our guide was terrific, energetic and informative. The idea of taking a train back really made it special. Great way to spend the late afternoon, toasting with the bubbly!

We spent a full day touring the Douro Valley with Nuno from Grapeland, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire Portugal trip. Nuno was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about the Douro and its wines, but what we appreciated most was that the day never felt scripted or like a standard tourist tour. He was personable, easy to spend the day with, and did a great job of adapting the experience to us and our interest in wine. We had already visited several wineries on our own during the trip, so we weren't looking for someone simply to drive us from tasting to tasting. Nuno added context about the region, the vineyards, the producers and life in the Douro that we never would have gotten traveling on our own. By the end of the day, it felt much more like exploring the Douro with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a tour. If we returned to the Douro, we would book with Grapeland and request Nuno again without hesitation.

Wonderful hike around the town with Silvia who is an incredibly knowledgeable guide. LOVED this tour. We were so full after a huge homemade lunch with Sivia and Antonio's honey, wine, lemonade, cheeses and olive oil.

The 4x4 gave us the opportunity to travel amazing back roads around Pinhao supported by excellent knowledge by our driver Nuno.

We had a fantastic day with Nuno! His English was excellent; his knowledge of the history of Portugal and the Douro Valley was incredible. He was very helpful on some of the more challenging parts of the ride. The vistas and views were incredible - as were the culinary and cultural experiences. Highly recommend without any hesitation!

My sister and I had the privilege of taking a private guided tour with Antonio. The beauty of the terrain was enhanced by Antonio's knowledge and passion for the area. It was a moderate hike with incredible views and engaging conversation. The lunch was timed impeccably to align with a break from hiking. If I am ever in the area, I will be sure to book another experience with Antonio as he has such warm energy.

Ivo was interesting, fun, and very knowledgeable! Ze was a great boat driver.

Ivo and Ze were great hosts. We loved the information and the tour path. Well worth the trip.

Nice walk to enjoy good views of the Douro

This Duoro River Cruise actually ended at the mouth of the Tua River and the views were outstanding. Our host Miguel was delightful and kept us supplied with Proseco the whole cruise!!! As there were only 15 of us on the boat (think yacht), there was lots of room. This was the highlightof our trip to Portugal so far. Great job Deltatur. 😊

This is one of the best experiences I’ve had in Portugal. Nuno was our guide and was absolutely wonderful. He grew up in this area and has so much knowledge about the history, landscape, and current state of affairs. We learned so much and saw areas we would bet have access to on our own. Lunch was delicious and his meal recommendations were spot on. Highly recommend, and will specifically request Nuno if I am back in this region.

This was probably the best day we had in Portugal! The off roading on narrow old streets was super fun, the scenery was gorgeous. We learned a lot about Douro, the wine, and even about Portugal itself. We tasted many wines and had delicious food. Our guide, Vasco was wonderful.Highly recommend this tour.
