Deltatur — Tours In Portugal Revisões

I work in a multinational company and I had to organize a team building, and I booked a tour day in Douro Valley with Deltatur. We were 10 people from different nationalities. Everything was perfect, from the very beginning to the end. At the time of choosing the plan, they were extremely flexible and adapt to all our needs. We had a jeep tour in the vineyards, a private boat trip, a lunch and a visit to a winery. The tour guides were very punctual, helpful and professional, and spoke many languages. The jeeps comfortable and well maintained, the boat too. The staff of the boat very kind as well. The restaurant superb. Deltatur is a local tour operator, they work with the best wineries and restaurants in the area. For a tour day in Douro Valley Deltatur is the best choice you can make.

What an AMAZING tour we had with our guide for our first visit to Portugal! RICARDO was everything in a guide we could have hoped for to travel with us to visit a series of historical and picturesque locations in Portugal for 2 full days. Ricardo was knowledgeable, intelligent, fun and thoroughly engaging throughout our time with him. He was responsive to what we wanted to see and do in Portugal and was able to “pivot” if we decided we wanted to do something other than what had been previously scheduled for us.

Ricardo was so informative about the history of Portugal and was able to give us the full “back story” on each location we visited with him. He took tremendous photos for us to capture the memories in our time with him. Ricardo is multi-lingual, and took us to places we would never have seen or experienced in Portugal without him.

Throughout our time with Ricardo, he kept us laughing, we learned so much about the history and culture of Portugal, and we enjoyed every moment. When it was unclear whether the travel company had scheduled him to be with us for a second day, we emailed them to request that our time with Ricardo continue and they were able to accommodate us so we spent another wonderful day with him. Simply put, Ricardo ROCKS!

Here are some of the amazing experiences we had with Ricardo during our time with him:

(1) Explored the small town of Amarante with its beautiful surroundings and risqué stories about the history of its town’s origins — Ricardo took us to one of the town’s bakeries/coffee spots and treated us to some of the sweet Portugal pastries there next to the river;
(2) Visited a country family-owned winery (Quinta de Bucheiro) where we toured the grounds, learned about their wine-making practices, and then had an authentic and delicious multi-course lunch made by the family accompanied by lovely wines from the winery itself;
(3) Private boat tour on the Douro River of the amazing wine country and hillside vines and surrounding buildings;
(4) Jeep ride through the Douro wine country with its narrow dirt roads and beautiful countryside (Ricardo was a safe but fun driver through some pretty dicey roads!) and tasting of roadside grapes and photos of breathtaking scenery; and
(5) Wine tasting at Quinta do Tedo winery and private picnic lunch in their wine cave.

Ricardo had a wonderful sense of humor and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, and would choose him again as a guide in a heartbeat in our next vacation to Portugal! Don’t hesitate to book a tour with this company and request Ricardo as your guide to beautiful Portugal 🇵🇹— you will have an amazing adventure learning about the history and splendor of Portugal!

My friend and I were part of a wine tour that stopped in Pinhao for a boat ride. We were warmly welcomed by Nuno and Luis who were incredible hosts. Nuno knew so much about the area and spent a lot of time teaching us about the region. Luis was a great boat driver who kept us safe. Both gentlemen were incredible and always kept our wine glasses full. I can’t thank them enough for giving us a memorable experience on the water.

Boat trip was overbooked we could not go.

Fomos em família num passeio de barco pelo Douro, adorámos a experiência! Não só pela vista e paisagem, mas também pela equipa fantástica, muito atenciosa e divertida, sempre disponíveis. Recomendamos muito!

We had a wonderful day tour with Gonçalo! He is the best! It was feeling like you were with a friend. He took care of us, explained a lot of things about the history of the region. We recommend 100%
