About this experience

Travel in comfort with your own private driver, with door-to-door pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Porto. Take in breathtaking views from the São Leonardo de Galafura viewpoint, cruise the Douro River on a traditional boat in Pinhão, and discover the riverside town of Peso da Régua. Along the way you'll enjoy a wine tasting and a traditional Portuguese lunch.

Because it's fully private, the day moves at your pace — no big groups, no rush. Perfect for couples, families and small groups who want the real Douro in total comfort.
