Douro Valley Exclusive and Sustainable Experience from Porto

What you pay for

Porto pickup with lunch and drinks at a restaurant, plus the Quinta Seara d’Ordens tasting; the booking page lists no boat trip.

Detours takes you from Porto to Quinta Seara d’Ordens for Douro wine and port tastings, with lunch in a restaurant. The tour takes nine hours and costs from €125 per adult. Porto pickup is included for the daily 8:00 departure. You stop at Pinhão station and São Leonardo de Galafura in a group of up to eight. The booking page describes a day on land; Detours' own site now adds a solar boat ride, so confirm the programme when booking.

The catch: The 8:00 tour can require you to meet near your accommodation because of traffic or roadworks.

What is included

Options and departures

The single option leaves at 8:00 daily with Porto pickup and a restaurant lunch. It covers the quinta tasting and viewpoint stops; the booking page mentions no boat trip.

Means: Choose the 8:00 tour if a group of eight, a named quinta and a restaurant lunch with drinks matter most.

Meeting point and pickup

Porto collection

Your guide collects you in Porto before the 8:00 tour start. The pickup window begins five minutes before departure.

Nearby meeting point

Roadworks or traffic can move your pickup to a point near your accommodation. Use the location arranged for your collection.

Child seats

Child seats are available for the drive if you are travelling with children.

Due traffic, and construction going on in the Porto city center we may request our clients to move to a specific location not far from the accommodation location.

The booking page lists the 80 pickup points.

Who it is for

Choose Detours if a group of eight and a named quinta matter more than spending time on the river. Lunch comes with drinks. You need nine hours free, and city traffic may move collection from your accommodation to a nearby meeting point.

For an electric boat with up to seven guests, Douro First costs from €175 per adult; Sunday's lunch changes venue. If Mateus Palace matters, North On Wheels costs from €180 per adult with five guests at most; departures are weekdays only.

Means: Take the 8:00 pickup option for lunch and Quinta Seara d’Ordens if the named quinta matters more than a long river trip.

Not for

• Anyone who needs the boat trip guaranteed on the booking page
• Children under six or adults over 80
• Travellers requiring collection at their accommodation door

In harvest: book September and October visits to Quinta Seara d’Ordens ahead through the tour. Grape picking needs a separate programme.
