Amarante
From your hotel in Porto, you’re picked up in the morning for the drive to Amarante. We will stop at the city of Amarante to visit its old bridge and São Gonçalo Church, a symbol of the local identity built in the XIII century by the city's patron saint São Gonçalo, a benedictine monk. Amarante's sweets and cakes are extremely famous and you will have the opportunity to taste them at a well known cake-shop.
Vila Real
After Amarante we will proceed to the Mateus Palace in the city of Vila Real. Mateus Palace, set in beautiful gardens on a vast farm, is considered to be one of the finest examples of baroque civil architecture in Portugal. You will learn from a certified guide the story of the palace and at the end enjoy walking and taking pictures in the gardens.

5.00What a fantastic day trip. Pedro, your guide, is knowledgeable, informative, welcoming, generous and genuine. He provides an excellent introduction to everything the Douro Valley has to offer, with lunch and wine tasting included. Visiting the beautiful Mateus Palace was a highlight I'll never forget.
A very interesting day...

5.00A very interesting day with a nice mix of places on the tour. Pedro was a very good host and couldn't have been more helpful. He has a wide knowledge of the sites we visited and scheduled our timings to avoid the worst of the crowds.
A day not to be missed!

5.00This was our third tour with Pedro, this time with 2 young ladies. Picked up in front of our apartment for a drive to the picturesque little village of Amarante, a highly regarded foodie and wine region. This is the hometown of Portugal’s Valentine, with the picturesque Rio Tamega running under a medieval bridge leading us to the 13thC Sao Gonçalo Church and monastery. After our tour and history lesson it was not a surprise to find ourselves in a local café for a coffee and a tasting of their town’s famous sweets and cakes! It was then on to the Mateus Palace, with its magnificent baroque architecture, and a walk in their massive garden estate, and to finish with a tasting, not of the ubiquitous rose of the 1960’s, but two red wines our host had selected!! The highlight of the tour followed – lunch in the Favaois Estate… for which black tie/pearls for the ladies would not have been overdressing for such a repast, and in such a setting! Fully sated, it was a pleasant drive down to Pinhao, and the right bank of the Duoro River for a 1hour round trip cruise on a traditional Rabello boat, to be able to fully appreciate the setting and viniculture of this appellation, before our return trip to Porto via the picturesque and N222 scenic drive! A gold medal to those who do not doze off!! Another superb day!

5.00We had an amazing experience with Pedro. I went with my husband and two kids, aged five and eight. Pedro made us feel like family. He’s very knowledgeable about Portugal and made us feel very safe. He made sure the kids were entertained, comfortable, and learned along the way. He treated my kids like his own. He even came equipped with snacks and drinks since it was a very long day. If you’re looking for a family friendly tour of Douro Valley, I would highly recommend Pedro.

5.00Ours was a private tour just for the 2 of us. Our first trip to Portugal. Pedro was the best guide we’ve had in our travels. I told him he spoiled it for all other guides. Picked us up on time, kept us entertained and informed throughout the day. His knowledge of wine making is vast as his family owns such a business. Lunch was delicious as well as the wines ( we had/tasted 5 different varieties). Coffee break was a wonderful stop. He said we were his guests for the day. we could not we have asked for a better host. I read too many awful reviews of similar tours before splurging on a private one. So happy I did. Just book it. Don’t hesitate.
Highly recommend Duoro Valley tour with Pedro....

5.00We had four days in Porto and wanted to spend one day seeing the Douro valley. We opted for this tour based on strong prior reviews and were not disappointed. Pedro is an excellent private guide, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and life in the Douro region. You will not be disappointed.
Our tour guide Pedro was awesome. We had great time and got good information and history of the places.

5.00Pedro Cardosa was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide. We hired him for 2 days in the Douro and let him design our tour after giving him information on previous European guides we had enjoyed. One day we toured nothern points of interest and the next, southern points of interest. We were not disappointed. The Mateus Palace I had not heard about and was so glad he brought us. His historical perspective was also an intrinsic part of the tours that made it more authentic. Lunch each day was wonderful and our visit to an Espamante producer, Murganheira, was both educational and tasty! Each day was a full day- almost 9 hours! I highly recommend him for a personalized tour of the Douro.
