We had a fantastic tour with Rui of the Douro Valley. He was extremely knowledgeable about the region itself and answered any questions that we had. He picked us up at our hotel in Porto and we spent the entire day in the valley before heading back to the hotel late that evening. When Rui dropped us off he helped us with restaurant recommendations as well for the area.

I would highly recommend doing a private tour as it gave us the flexibility to do as we wished throughout the day and pick the wineries that we wanted to visit. Rui helped us with recommendations along the way but it was ultimately up to us. We spent a significant amount of time at Quinta da Pacheca doing a tour and tasting session as well as visiting the art studio and grabbing a leisurely lunch. Afterwards we took a river cruise down the valley and ultimately ended up at another winery in the hills for an additional tasting session at Quinta do Beijo, a small family run winery.

We had a very good and informative walking tour (with yummy stops along the way) with Oporto Moments through/around the fascinating and picturestic City of Porto. Sarah's "local" insight, recommendations and professionalism made our Porto visit even more memorable.

We had scheduled a "redo" plus additional tours with Sarah for May 2020 until C-19 hit. We will definately be back

Highly recommend.

What an incredible and relaxing experience! No need to further your search for a unique and personal experience tour company. Oporto and Douro Moments is it.
We arranged for a pickup at our hotel and drop off at our next stop during our visit to Portugal. Joaõ was our guide/driver and come find out he is part of the family business. Every aspect of our time was top notch. His knowledge of the area, experience with the wines of Portugal, connections to the area wineries/restaurants and most important the professionalism he showed during our time together was what made this trip one of the best we experienced.
The company also arranged for us to take a private Rabelo boat cruise. We enjoyed port, cookies and the beautiful view of Douro Valley vineyards from the river.
After we headed to a winery for lunch (one of the best meals we had during our visit) with wine pairing. We enjoyed a private wine tasting afterwards. It was a great afternoon with Joaõ’s insights into his country and wine.
We wish you Joaõ and family the best. Keep up the great service …. no doubt it is why you were one of our favorite tours.

João was on time and courteous, knowledgeable with regard to some of the history of Portugal and the various areas we passed through on our transfer.

We had a stop scheduled in Coimbra between our pickup and Lisboa, however nothing was planned for our stop which was disappointing. Clearly there was a miscommunication as to what a “stop” entailed as we thought there would be some tour or at least a lunch restaurant selected. Be sure to clarify! (I didn’t.)

João was very helpful in providing some suggestions while we just wandered and explored the city.

Sara was an incredible guide! She made us feel like royalty! She was very knowledgeable about the area and you can see that she loves her job! My husband wasn’t feeling well from before and she went out of her way to get him medicine and make sure he was taken care of! I highly recommend this tour for anyone that comes to Porto!! It can’t be missed!!

What an amazing experience. Our host picked us up at our hotel in Porto and an amazing experience began. We were in a very comfortable Mercedes van, and headed to the the Douro region. We stopped for a small bit for breakfast then also stopped and bought some fresh cherries on the side of the road. Then we headed up for the vineyard tour and wine tasting (and olive oil tasting!) we had a great lunch at the vineyard and then a tour through the rest of Douro.

We were also supposed to do a boat ride that was included, but it was raining out and my daughter didn’t feel well so we skipped it.

Our host was so kind and knowledgable - really an amazing experience

We could not have asked for a better tour. Rui and Joana were absolutely delightful people to spend the say with. They picked us up directly from our bed and breakfast and treated us to an amazing day in the Douro Valley. Lunch was exquisite, both wineries were wonderful, the boat ride was relaxing, and our guides were so personable and interesting. It was so nice getting to learn about the region from people who actually live there. We'd happily take the tour again!

While visiting Porto, my wife and I did the Gastronomic, Douro Tour with Sara on 2/13/19. What a fabulous experience!

Sara was an exceptional guide. Our tour included stops at two small valley towns where we sampled meat and cheese from a local butcher and a bakery. Another stop included a family owned olive oil manufacturer and winery. Where we sampled the oil and wine. Our final stop was another winery/vineyard where we had lunch and toured the facility. Her knowledge of the valley, the surrounding towns and overall wine/vineyard operations was vast. Everything she told us during our drive to the valley was supported by the wineries we visited.

Sara was very friendly, charismatic, knowledgeable and professional. The booking process was flawless. Sara’s follow up and any related correspondence was excellent. I would absolutely recommend Oporto and Douro Moments for any tour in and around Porto. Well done Sara!

We spent a day in the Douro Valley with Joao and it was a fantastic experience. Joao took us to see the breathtaking panoramic view of the Valley, shared with us stories about Douro Valley (e.g. how people transported Port wine in ancient times) and its history. It just felt like a friend taking you to visit his hometown.

The cruise was nice and very relaxing. We were lucky to have good sunshine that day and it was really enjoyable to have the one-hour cruise.

The lunch was out of our expectation. Good choices for food and great taste. Services were good too.

The Port wine tour was nice and we tasted a range of wine of good quality. We ended up shipping 6 bottles of Ports back home. The shipping cost was reasonable too.

The whole journey was really a great experience. We felt very relaxed and we enjoyed the day to the full. I can't recommend this tour more.

We booked a day trip to the Douro valley as we are avid wine travellers. Sara listened to the brief and chose the perfect spots for tastings and lunch.

The tour itself was conducted by Sara's lovely daughter Joana and husband Rui- who took us through the valley in a convertible which was a great surprise and wonderful way to make the most of the perfect weather and beautiful scenery. They could not have been more helpful - arranging bookings for dinner that evening and leaving us with a gift of figs and grapes!

Could not recommend them highly enough!
