Great day
We booked this tour for 2 main reasons, one, because we drink a fair amount of Port at home and, two, because it’s only a small tour, up to a maximum of 8 people. As it was, there were 6 people on our tour, ourselves from the UK, 2 from Canada and 2 from Sweeden. Our tour guide was called Marcel and he was excellent all round. You are advised to have a good breakfast, which we did, and I can see why: Because the first wine tasting was at round 10:30 ! The day included a river tour (about 45 minutes), a meal in what was a primary school and the a second wine tour and tasting. The wines you try and both Port and table wine, but more Port than wine (as you would expect really). It’s a full day, we were picked up from our hotel at around 08:15 and dropped off just a short walk away about 17:30. Finally, it was my wife’s birthday on the day of a tour, and the first vineyard produced a small cake, and an extra glass of wine, which I thought was really good of CoolTours to organise!

A wonderful day trip to the Douro Valley
We had an amazing day trip to the Douro Valley. Our guide Philip was wonderful. Kind and helpful with the children, funny, informative and made the tour outstanding. We are so happy we booked this tour and highly recommend it. We had a beautiful drive through the valley with fabulous views, wine tastings at two wineries with great wine and Port, a lovely lunch, and an hour cruise on the river. A truly memorable experience.
