Amazing Roman buildings, old churches and capital of Catholic Bom Jesus sanctuary. A lot to explore indeed!

An exciting and vibrant village to discover!

Nancy C.
“Lovely Douro Valley ”
The day started off a bit, dreary, weatherwise. But Rui made it a perfect day. The drive to the valley was lovely, but the valley itself is spectacular. Rui and our driver were fun and informative. We had a lovely river cruise, and then we were taken to a spectacular family winery -Pedro Milanos- for tastings, of not just wine, but the olive oil and strawberry jam that they also homemake. . And finally an amazing lunch at a local restaurant. Can’t say another good things about the Porto Butler and this tour.

“Highly recommend travel with Rui”
We had an enjoyable experience with Rui. He picked us up on time in Belmonte, and drove safely to Porto, with stops along the way in Coimbra and Aviero. We toured the University and other stops in Coimbra, and took a boat ride along the canal in Aviero. Rui was very accommodating to our schedule, and easy to work with. Highly recommended.

The Incredible Douro Valley [Private Wine Tour]
With over 15 years of experience in the wine business, my best recommendation for a comfortable and enjoyable journey is to visit two family-run wineries for tastings—one in the morning and another in the afternoon, plus delicous lunch break! Along this scenic route, you'll have the chance to admire a unique and breathtaking landscape—majestic bridges, lush green hills with wndless terraced vineyards, beautiful olive trees and the long Douro river that make this Valley tour trully unforgettable!
