Douro Valley day trip from Porto with two vineyard tastings, a traditional Rabelo river cruise, and a winery lunch with wine and port.

“I wrote a longer review on tripadvisor, so I’ll keep this brief. The Douro valley is beautiful and its wines are great, so what really separates a fine tour from a great one are the people. This tour killed it in that respect. Zthe guides, Rita & Pedro, were great all day (not easy to do for what was basically a full workday), and the wineries we visited also had great people.”

9.Porto Walking Tour, Lello Bookshop, River Cruise and Cable Car

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,354 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $72

Porto in one 4-hour loop with a guided walk, Livraria Lello, cable car panoramas, and a Douro river cruise.

“This tour takes you to key attractions in Porto. The tour guide was enthusiastic, patient, and knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. The one drawback: there is a lot of downtime on the tour, mostly because of (a) waiting to get into the Lello bookstore, (b) allotting a half an hour for the visit - much more than needed and (c) following that visit with a coffee break. It did pick up pace after that, with the art deco McDonald’s and the San Benito train station. But it would be better, in my opinion, to schedule the coffee break at the halfway mark in the tour”

“It's a very nice and complete tour, perfect to have a panoramic view of the city. Good to do it in the firsts days. The tour in the wine cellar It's very interesting and well explained. The only thing was that we hadn't been told what time we had to go back to the train after the visit and the stop at the wine shop...and the train left without us! No worries, they called it back and in 5 min it came to pick us up. Just make sure to ask at what time it will be leaving! The cruise It's nice as well, but without any explanation, it just…”
