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…”

Review of Fonseca’s Porto cellar tour, Port tasting, views, practical tips, price, accessibility, and what to expect before booking.
“Self guided audio tour with an app you need to download and install. Found the explanations a little bit lenghty. The tasting at the end was very good, the service friendly and fast.”
Tour Cálem Cellars in Porto, then taste three Ports with goat cheese, São Jorge cheese, chocolate, crackers, and jam.
“There were many more visual and interactive elements than some of the other caves we visited. But the group was very large and it felt like we only scratched the surface of the product and process. A good stop for a port wine novice but not so much for a more knowledgeable port drinker.”
Explore WOW’s Wine Experience and Taylor’s 300-year-old cellars, with five tastings, audio guides, and superb views over Porto.
“I very much enjoyed both the wine museum and cellar visit. For this price, you are able to visit wine museum, visit wine cellar, taste 6 total different wines, and a free Porto tonico. Completely worth it. I easily spent 3-4 hours exploring the area. It’s been a great half day trip with this tour.”
