“Amazing experience!! Pedro, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about wine, the Douro Valley, and Porto as well. He had great insight on our day in the valley as well as what to do around Porto as well! The quintas we went to were amazing and not one's we may have chosen on our own without the insight of the company/guide. Both had great wine and one had olive oil as well! The boat tour portion was chilly but super scenic on the river. Lunch was an amazing family style with proper Portuguese food and of course some more wine. I found this to be a great experience and would…”

Tastings, tours, and locations were fun without high pressure sales. Because it was January the boat ride was a little chilly and not as scenic as it would be other times of the year.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 2,601 reviews · 3 hours · from $43

Porto tour review covering the city train, Real Companhia Velha cellar, two port tastings, and Douro cruise, with practical tips and honest value advice.

“Excellent tour from booking process through to ease of transportation and quality of interaction with train driver and winery tour guide. The staff in Magic tours office were very helpful and suggested we take the cable car ride to save walking all the way to the cruise boat. The river cruise was good and afterwards we strolled along the river bank and found a great restaurant selling genuine Portuguese cuisine (yellow building easy to spot) had a great supper then walked up to the square by metal bridge to get a cab back to our hotel. ( beware of uber, genuine Porto cabs won’t rip you off). Great tour, great…”
