About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- A6001MSandresm0 contributionsFantastic Experience with an Amazing Guide!Had a fantastic trip! Everything was well-organized, and the experience was truly memorable. Antonio was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great tour!Written 21 February 2025
- 508MartinH0 contributionsReally DisappointedThis trip did not live up to my (maybe too high) expectations - Started late from Porto and a very long car ride to the destination - The boat ride was beautiful, lovely area, but was cramped as there were too many people on board - The lunch was a disgrace, a restaurant catering to what seemed about a hundred people, plastic chairs next to the road, food looked so bad we hardly touched it. - Train ride was great, even if short. - the wine tasting up the hill was scenic and done with much enthusiasm by the local employee I had expected something much better / premium considering the price and description.Written 30 September 2024
- russellcooper0 contributionsGreat experience, great value!Incredible views of the Douro valley. Mini bus collection from the centre of Porto, a (longish) drive, approx 1 1/2 hours into the Douro valley, a boat trip, great (and substantial!) lunch, train ride back to the mini bus, a vineyard tour and tasting, and then back to Porto. 8 hours in all, but our guide Manuel was exceptional, keeping our interest, and passing on lots of detail of the area and other towns, villages, restaurants, and vineyards we could visit. A very capable young man, and a good driver to boot!! Thought we might have been overpaying, but actually this was good value. Highly recommended.Written 3 September 2024
- Navigator391565610980 contributionsThe Very Best Way to Spend a Day in Peso de Regua on the Douro River!My husband and I had limited time in the Duoro Region, and chose to spend it in Peso da Regua, a former hub for transporting wine on to Porto. To get the most out of our time, we took the suggestion of our Hotel, and booked a private tour with DeltaTur (https://www.deltatur.pt/) as they had a tour which was perfect for us! We were picked up at our Hotel in a late model Mercedes, driven by our wonderful guide Antonio. First stop, after a drive quite high in the hills, along mostly quaint cobblestone roads, we arrived at a Winery for a wine tasting (3 wines and a port), and a tour of the old, prior, olive oil production facility, and then a tasting of their excellent olive oils. Next stop was to the train station where we rode to the next town, Pinhao, in vintage coaches where the windows went down allowing unobstructed view of the breath-taking scenery. We returned to Regua via a private boat owned by DeltaTur, along with only 6 others (with another DeltaTur guide), so it was still very private. The boat ride was amazing...there are not enough superlatives to describe the beautiful scenery! After returning to Regua, we had lunch in a picture-perfect restaurant situated at a bend in the river, for yet another great view. Throughout all of this, our tour guide Antonio was great - informative, attentive and very helpful. The other staff of DeltaTur were also friendly and helpful, giving the impression that they were very happy in their jobs. This was truly a first class experience, which we heartily recommend!! Thanks again Antonio!Written 19 August 2024
- TxBusTrvler787230 contributionsBest Private Tour of Porto and Douro Valley!Antonio was PERFECT! From his very nice Mercedes to his excellent driving skills to his knowledge of the area and everything in between. We felt like he could have been one of our friends for the day. He went above and beyond the whole time and did it with a constant smile. He’s genuine hospitality.Written 14 August 2024
- dardenprof0 contributionsDouro Valley Daytrip from PortoGreat daytrip from Porto to Douro River Valley. Antonio Cardoso was incredible driver and guide, charming and fun! Easy pick up and return at our hotel in spotless Mercedes and full of stops with vineyard tasting/tour, nice riverside train trip for lovely lunch overlooking the Douro, and thrn boat ride back to car. Antonio even took us for quick detour to beautiful and historic Amarante with it Renaissance church and monastery. I highly recommend 👌Written 13 August 2024
- Neddie9110 contributionsAn absolutely sensational day !!Just a brilliant day. Antonio picked us from the hotel and after gathering the others we had a very comfortable trip to Pinhao - quick coffee and onto the boat up river. Very comfortable and an ideal way to see the river and vineyards. Off the boat and a short walk to the fabulous restaurant at Tua - a great range of fabulous food and wine !! The train ride back to Pinhao then followed by a visit to a winery with sensational views The back to Porto - a fabulous day!! Antonio was excellent - great knowledge, no trouble for extra time or information HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ✅✅Written 28 July 2024
- emmasM7748KI0 contributionsExcellent tour and wine tastingMy husband and I had the best time with our wine tasting/ lunch and boat ride! Everyone was so accommodating, especially Antonio, and the views from everywhere we went were gorgeous. We can’t wait to come back!Written 9 July 2024
- William D0 contributionsDouro Valley Day TripOur trip to the Douro valley was practically perfect in every way. Our guide, Antonio, was friendly and informative. He adjusted to our requests and was incredibly helpful. The wine tasting and lunch was beyond belief. Such a perfect way to spend our last day in Portugal.Written 3 July 2024
- Wineseller710 contributionsWith only one day to see the Douro…We had one day to see and taste the Douro and this trip was perfect. After being picked up from Porto and driven to Pinhao, we began with a relaxing ride up the river, before stopping for lunch. The meal was great (the roasted black pig, grilled veal, lamb chops and pork ribs were all hits with our group) and only matched by the view from our table. The port house we visited for a tasting was boutique and of excellent quality. Would most certainly do again. Thanks Miguel!Written 25 June 2024
- espesq0 contributionsFabulous experienceGonzalo was a wonderful guide! He had good communication pre tour and spoke perfect English during our trip. The ride to the train was fun getting to know the other guests and have Gonzalo explain the terrain. He was very knowledgable as he is from the region. He gave us good instructions for the train ride and then drive us to a beautiful vineyard where the meal was outstanding. We learned about wine and how it is made. Lunch was followed by a pleasant boat road.I highly recommend this tour as the train ride made the day most memorable. Gonzalo was the best and a safe driver navigating the narrow roads!Written 25 June 2024
- Excursion452594331460 contributionsAmazing tour and an amazing guideOur guide Ricardo was amazing, he took us to amazing places. Recommend the boat trip, perfect ending of the day. The winery we went to is family owned. We met the grandfather and grandson, very nice people.Written 25 June 2024
- S4669ARbf0 contributionsA wonderful experience!We can't thank our guide, Goncalo, enough for such a memorable journey through Douro. The wine was wonderful, the view was wonderful, the attention to detail from start to finish left us wanting nothing more. Thank you so much, highly recommended!Written 17 June 2024
- KTNP0 contributionsPoor customer serviceI was very disappointed to receive a vague email from Viator the night before our tour, stating that our tour had been canceled by the cruise company. There was no explanation of why and no apology. I would have expected a simple apology and reason for the cancelation. I had to scramble to find another cruise at the last minute.Written 9 June 2024
- 938tammyk0 contributionsAn anniversary to remember!As this was our 25th wedding anniversary trip and this tour was on our actual anniversary day, there aren't enough stars to give! We had the most amazing time! Our driver/tour guide, Miguel, was fantastic and we made great friends from Scotland and Denmark. The views are indescribable and awe-inspiring--so glad we were able to see by car, boat and train--all giving different perspectives! And lastly, the food and wine were amazing. Highly recommend this tour! And a special thanks to Miguel for being a 5-star guide!Written 30 May 2024

We had an unforgettable experience visiting the Douro Valley, and a boat tour in Pinhão was the highlight of our trip, it is an absolute must!
I highly recommend DeltaTur for their exceptional service. A special shoutout to Liliana and to our captain, Rui, for making the trip even more memorable. The river cruise was absolutely amazing—the stunning views, relaxing music, and a few bottles of champagne to enjoy along the way. It was the perfect way to see the beauty of the valley. I can’t wait to return to the Douro Valley in the future. Thank you, DeltaTur, for making our visit truly special!
