Douro Valley Private Premium Tour met wijnproeverij (1 tot 4 personen)

Hoewel het regende op en af het grootste deel van de dag, Ricardo zorgde ervoor om onze reis te plannen, zodat we in staat waren om twee wijnhuizen te bezoeken en hebben een heerlijke lunch. Ricardo was uitstekend in het tonen van ons rond, het verstrekken van een geschiedenis van de Douro-vallei en het beantwoorden van onze vragen. Ik beveel deze tour.

Great private tour, our driver was the best and professional, we were taken to a couple of fantastic wineries, in the second we had a spectacular lunch. The boat ride down the river was great giving you a different view of the wine region. If you want to go in style this is this tour. Kudos !

Ricardo led us on an amazing day-long tour of the Douro Valley wine region. Following pickup in Porto we headed towards our first stop in Amarante, an idyllic little town with a beautiful historic chapel - the Igreja de Sao Goncalo. We had time for a short walk across the Tamega River bridge and had some mouth- watering delicious regional pastry at the Confeitaria da Ponte. Onward to the Quinta da Pacheca Winery for a very well curated wine tasting session and information on the history of winemaking in the region and its evolution to the present day. Our itinerary included enough time for a leisurely stroll around the vineyard and an appreciation of its unique architecture. A short drive thereafter to the Quinta Sao Jose da Barrilario for a lunch in their beautiful restaurant with an amazing view over the river and the valley. Our return trip included a stop in Pinhao to view their colorful train station and the river-level view of the valley. Maiatours does a great job of making the trip relaxing, flexible with options to choose an itinerary, and offering a very comfortable ride with very helpful information about the valley. Highly, highly recommended as a great way to experience the Douro Valley.
