Review of Porto’s Douro Valley tour with two family wineries, tastings, river cruise, regional lunch, small groups, and practical booking tips.
“Overall this is one of the best full-day wine tours we've experienced! We were with small van - just 8 tourists and the guide. We tasted very good wines at the first winery (white, rose and red), had some magnicifent views to shoot during the boat trip, had a delicious lunch with even more wine, and finished at a port winery where we had tasting of white, as well as red port wine. Thank you Cooltour Oporto! Francisco is a great guide!”

Review of a Douro Valley day tour from Porto with train, river cruise, lunch, wine tasting, scenic viewpoints, and practical booking advice.
“The view is great. No need to add to repeat what other wrote but there are some small issues that can be improved. Here some examples 1. The night before the tour got a message that the tour was changed and the train ride was cancelled instead we would visit stores. We had no time to change the tour. 2. After two hours of drive without a stop we board the boat with a single tiny toilet for 20 people. Not fun. Need to have a body call stop before 3. After the complete day we had to wait more than 15 minutes to the van. It could be better…”
Cruise the Douro from Pinhão beneath the Eiffel bridge, past terraced vineyards, with open-air seating and an optional audio guide.
“We expected a nice boat tour with a smaller boat, instead we ended up on a huge boat packed with a lot of people. It was crowded and we couldnt see much because people were getting up all the time standing right in front of the windows and doors blocking the view of others. There were only few seats outside that were taken immediately and inside it was pretty hot. We also had to wait (in the sun on a very hot day) for like 20 min to board. Really not worth it.”

“We really enjoyed our activity. I apologize for not being able to mention the names of the staff on the trip. The girl spoke to us in excellent English, her explanations were very interesting and answered all our questions. The stop at the restaurant was also outstanding, there were many people but service was quick and friendly and the food plentiful and also very tasty and good quality. It was a good idea to end this activity with a train ride. The only complaint was that the meeting point details were confusing. It stated no 60 and the street name which was the entrance to the train station. We were…”
