Ponte Pedonal Metalica de Peso da Regua
The metal bridge was built in 1872 by King D. Luís I for road crossing of the Douro River and was deactivated since 1949 due to the state of degradation of the wooden board. The initial project belongs to engineer W. Liebe, and was later changed by engineer Johann Gaspar Harkort and the construction work was under the guidance of German engineer Wilherm Dulhener from the Eifel team.

Rock art and wine in the Douro valley
This tour was excellent. Our guide, Carlos, was great. He knew his stuff and was a very safe and considerate driver for the long drives there and back. The rock art was amazing and the guide there was excellent. We finished the day with wine tasting in a spectacular scenic setting. The fall colors in the valley on the vines were amazing.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. John, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a memorable experience with Carlos as your guide. We’re glad his knowledge and safe driving made the journey enjoyable for you. The rock art truly is a remarkable sight, and we’re delighted you had an excellent guide to bring its history to life. We couldn’t agree more about the fall colors in the valley—they’re spectacular this time of year, and it’s great to know the scenery added to your wine-tasting experience. We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments in the future! Warm regards, Ana

Take a trip to the Foz Coa Valley!
Carlos took us on an amazing trip to the Foz Coa Valley. He picked us up at our Airbnb and took us through the beautiful Douro Valley. We thoroughly enjoyed the museum and our guide, Ludovic Amaro, tookus an amazing walk through the site. Carlos then got us back on time to Porto. It made a long trip so comfortable and easy for us. Thanks Carlos!

Perfect Blend of Port and Prehistoric Art
We cannot thank Carlos and the entire team at Endless Weekends Tours enough for the exceptional service on our trip from Porto to the Douro Valley and Côa Valley. Every aspect of our journey, from the attentive approach provided by Ana during the booking process to the outstanding tour led by Carlos, was extraordinary. Not only did Carlos offer us the convenience of customizing our itinerary according to our interests, but he also acted as our dedicated translator whenever needed, making our interactions with vendors seamless. Navigating the Douro roads in his comfortable and air-conditioned car, Carlos delighted us with captivating stories about the Valley's rich wine culture and all things Portugal. His warmth and passion created an unforgettable experience that we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking lasting memories. Endless Weekends Tours truly goes above and beyond!
Response from the operator: Hi Aisha, thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. We are so delighted that you rate our service as 5 Star as we strive to provide just that for all our customers. We Look forward to seeing you again soon. Best Wishes, Ana and Carlos

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Douro Valley & Foz Côa Tour with Rock Art and Pinhão: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Private Douro Valley & Foz Côa Tour with Rock Art and Pinhão cost?
+
Prices start at $321 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Douro Valley & Foz Côa Tour with Rock Art and Pinhão take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Porto is not rushed.
Is Private Douro Valley & Foz Côa Tour with Rock Art and Pinhão worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Douro Valley & Foz Côa Tour with Rock Art and Pinhão?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Douro Valley & Foz Côa Tour with Rock Art and Pinhão suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Douro Valley & Foz Côa Tour with Rock Art and Pinhão?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Porto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Douro Valley & Foz Côa Tour with Rock Art and Pinhão start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Porto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Porto's #1 Walking Tour, Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Porto?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Porto?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
