Top Porto Lunch Cruises

Excellent experience phenomenal driver João and phenomenal tour guide Slimmy!!

What an absolute delightful WY to see the Duoro Valley. The transport was comfortable, our Guide Andre was fantastic, the size of the group was great. The valley was breathtaking, the host of the River Cruise was actually inspirational and passionate about the wine making families' relationship with the earth and each other. All around delight!

I went with my husband. We totally loved this river cruise. The staff on the boat were great. The food was good. The views were stunning especially closer to Pinhao. The wine tasting was so amazing. Tasted the best Port ever. The vineyard was beautiful.

This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Portugal. Our guide Juliana was amazing. The history of Duoro Valley and the making of the port wine. Our lunch was fabulous. She made this excursion worth every penny!

The guide was on time, very pleasant, patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Lunch was very good

The guide, Pedro, was excellent. Arrived on time at the hotel, very polite, considerate and kind. Also extremely knowledgeable. Lunch at the restaurant was also very good. All in all, well worth the cost

Seriously cannot recommend this tour more! Such an incredible day to explore the Portuguese country side, and of course try some awesome wine! Franco was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, he took care of us and made us laugh the whole time. Our driver Miranda was also very funny and kind; he made sure we were driven safe and had amazing views the whole time!

Enjoyed the smaller group and shorter day. Douro valley Beautiful scenery. Lunch was delicious. I believe our guide was Andre , (sorry if I got that wrong) he was very entertaining and informative. He Went out of his way to help us get tickets to a soccer game. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful, beyond expectations! Our guide was very thorough, engaging and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend

Miguel was an amazing tour guide. Funny and factual. Nice food and drinks. Just perfect

This was our second of three tours with Pedro. Picked up outside our apartment, we drove to Santa Maria da Feira, with its picturesque, almost Disney-style castle, then to little café for a coffee and to taste ‘Fogaça’- one of the many tasty pastries of Portugal which has an impressive history of 500 years. This ritual is Pedro’s ‘signature start’ to every tour! The next stop was in the ‘Venice of Portugal’– Aviero, a cruise around their canal system, after which there was another of round of Portugal’s sweets, the ‘Ovos Moles’, before a drive around Ria de Aveiro to view the habitat of the vast variety of wildlife of the region. A visit to Costa Nova beach, with its colourfully painted fishermen’s cottages along the beachfront, was followed by a substantial lunch. This ‘restaurant ritual ‘is a great feature of Pedro’s tours, and one we can highly recommend – good conversation oiled by Portuguese wines! For lovers of fine porcelain, the last stop took us to the famous Lugar da Vista Alegre, the Chapel, the Museum, with a walk through the production line, before being tempted in their show room. This is a very relaxed tour, lots of sunshine, fresh air and wind in the hair. It was easy to doze off on the drive back to Porto! Susan & Graeme 5*

Great tour. Wasn't sure what to expect as this was our first tour just after arriving in Portugal. We could not have felt more at home and comfortable with our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and easy going. The tour was done at our pace without any feelings of being rushed.

The experience all in all was pretty good. Our guide was knowledgeable and a very good driver. The time on the river was the weakest part of the tour. Just a 50 minute up and down a small stretch of the river in an electric boat moving at about 2 miles an hour with a two or three glasses of wine. I was hoping to see a lot more of the river valley. The lunch was in a very nice winery building with a separate room for our group of seven. The chicken option was just ok but the wine was plentiful and very good. The tasting afterwards was nice. The hostesses at the lunch and tastings were very nice. For me, the 1 1/2 ride back and forth was a very good opportunity to see the beautiful countryside of the Douro River valley.

This was a wonderful way to see the full Duoro River from Porto to Pinhoa. Such a peaceful warm day watching nature go by. The crew took great care of us with a light breakfast and a hearty, delicious roast pork dinner. In Pinhoa we visited the winery Quinta do Roeda, for a short tour, port wine tasting and a luncheon/snacks. Very well done and organized day and excellent value. It is a very long day, 13 hours from Port to bus drop off at the town square in Porto.

Port port and more port with lunch along with boat for an down and up the Douro Our bus group was a maximum of 20

Had a great day but communication poor on arrival at starting point poor. We arrived half an hour early and joined a EFun trip on the wrong bus as tickets not checked. Luckily it was discovered due to an emergency toilet stop. Other than that the trip was absolutely fantastic good company, generous wine / port and food. julianna was knowledgeable and good guide/driver. (Communication at the start as to who to meet would have made it 5 star)
