Nuno is the best!
Incredible experience with Nuno! He has an amazing personality and is so knowledgeable. He takes the best care of you throughout the day and works to make sure everyone has a great experience. The wine and the lunch were wonderful as well. I would recommend this tour with Nuno to everyone!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Wine Tour with Nino & Sheila!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Wine Tour with Nino & Sheila! We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our wine tour! Nino was an exceptional guide—friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the region and its wines, besides his pastry passion. He did a fantastic job explaining everything in a way that was interesting and enjoyable, and he made the entire day feel relaxed rather than rushed. A special thank-you also to our driver, Sheila! She was amazing, handling the roads and the difficult drivers with ease, even those objecting to her professional skill of navigating difficult tight roads! Having her handle the driving allowed us to simply relax, enjoy the scenery, and, of course, enjoy the wine! Nino and Sheila made a great team and really helped make this one of the highlights of our time in Portugal. We would absolutely recommend this tour, and if you have the opportunity to tour with Nino and Sheila, you're in excellent hands! Thank you both for such a memorable day! 🍷🇵🇹
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that your Douro Valley wine tour with EFun Tours became one of the highlights of your time in Portugal. Nuno will be especially happy to know that his knowledge, enthusiasm, passion for the region — and even his passion for pastry! — made the day so enjoyable and relaxed. A very special thank you as well for your kind words about Sheila. Driving through the Douro Valley’s narrow and winding roads certainly requires experience and skill, and we’re very proud to have her on our team. Nuno and Sheila really do make a wonderful team, and we’ll make sure they both receive your lovely feedback. Thank you for recommending EFun Tours and for choosing us to discover the Douro Valley. We hope to welcome you back to Portugal someday for another memorable experience! 🍷🇵🇹 **EFun Tours Team**

Avoid Croft winery in this tour
Tiago was a good tour guide and enthusiastic throughout the journey. I would say that the people/clerks at Croft were rude to a few of our group members (including to tour guide Tiago). Our Croft tour guide told us to sit somewhere and then we were moved to a different table by another Croft worker (didn’t catch her name but she had blonde hair and small stature) to a table with less wine to taste. We were separated from our original tour group without any explanation of the wines on our table. At last the original Croft guide came and mentioned something about the two ports we had and left to the other table quickly. Ironically, we were the ones prepared to spend, but decided to take our business elsewhere after this treatment. I would recommend external tour companies and operators to skip the terrible service at Croft and take their tourists to a different winery. If you are visiting for the first time, better to take a tour with more family-based businesses.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you appreciated Tiago’s enthusiasm and guidance throughout your Douro Valley tour with EFun Tours. At the same time, we sincerely regret that your experience during the visit to Croft did not meet your expectations — or the standards we expect from the partners included in our tours. We completely understand that being separated from the rest of the group, moved to another table without a clear explanation, and not receiving the same level of attention during the tasting negatively affected your experience. This is certainly not how we want any of our guests to feel. We work with different wineries across the Douro Valley, including both renowned estates and smaller family-run producers, and the experience of our guests is extremely important when selecting our partners. For this reason, we will share your feedback directly with Croft and review what happened to help prevent similar situations in the future. We also truly appreciate you highlighting Tiago’s professionalism and enthusiasm, particularly in a difficult situation. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope the rest of your time exploring the Douro Valley left you with many wonderful memories. **EFun Tours Team**

We always try to make the journey as comfortable and relaxed as possible, including a short break along the way.

Three vineyard and lunch excursion in Porto
This vineyard tour was made even more wonderful by our incredible professional, and very friendly guide Sara, she was very knowledgeable and caring about all aspects of our excursion. She kept safety and our comfort in the forefront of her concern. We would love to do another excursion with Sara.
Response from the operator: Knowing that you would love to tour with Sara again is one of the best compliments she could receive! We’re delighted that her professionalism, knowledge and friendly personality made your Douro Valley wine tour even more special. It’s particularly important to us that you highlighted her attention to safety and guest comfort, as these are always priorities throughout our experiences. We’re glad you enjoyed discovering the Douro through three wineries, wine and Port tastings, and a traditional winery lunch, while being so well looked after by Sara. Thank you for choosing EFun Tours for your small-group Douro Valley tour from Porto. We’ll make sure Sara receives your wonderful feedback, and hopefully she’ll have the pleasure of guiding you again! 🍷🇵🇹

Why this scores 92
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small-Group Douro Valley Tour: 3 Wineries & Winery Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Small-Group Douro Valley Tour: 3 Wineries & Winery Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Small-Group Douro Valley Tour: 3 Wineries & Winery Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Small-Group Douro Valley Tour: 3 Wineries & Winery Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,690 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Douro Valley Tour: 3 Wineries & Winery Lunch?
+
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 Small-Group Douro Valley Tour: 3 Wineries & Winery Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small-Group Douro Valley Tour: 3 Wineries & Winery Lunch?
+
Around 592 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small-Group Douro Valley Tour: 3 Wineries & Winery Lunch 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.
