Douro Valley Tours in June 2026

This is a great way to really see Portugal - so many itineraries focus on Spain and/or Morocco and barely spend any time in Portugal. Portugal's regions are all unique and we were able to visit many of them.

This tour covers a great selection of locations throughout Portugal. Hotel locations are superb, particularly in the heart of Porto. Our guide , contributed enormously to our experience. His dedication, enthusiasm, sense of humour and concern for his "family " of travellers was outstanding. A fantastic holiday in a beautiful country.

We enjoyed every aspect of our holiday. The accommodation was very comfortable, Christina was a wonderful host. The walking was outstanding, with great views over the Pinhao and Douro valleys.

We saw practically the whole of Portugal. I talked to people who have been to Portugal and have enjoyed themselves. However, they had not heard of Braga or Ibidos. They have really missed out. I do wish Sintra was included in one of the options, though.

Comprehensive view of cities and country areas of Portugal. Recommend adding an optional tour of Sintra from Lisbon and adding another day, or a relaxed day, to the time in the Algarve. With three 1 night stays, the trip felt a little pressured at times. Would have preferred a few true relaxed starts to catch up, or combine a few of the mid-country sites to a hub where you stay a couple nights and do day-trips.

Good pace, and terrific overall visit to many special places around the entire country. Other tours are targeted to regions, we got to see a great deal of the total country in the 11 days.
