Private Douro Tour from Porto: Optional Wine Tastings & Lunch

What you pay for

Private guide and vehicle with hotel pickup and a route you can change; wine tastings cost extra

Touch Tours supplies a private guide and vehicle for a Douro Valley route you can change, including stops around Pinhão. The tour lasts 9 hours. The sedan costs from €350 per vehicle for up to 4, with a minivan option for larger parties. Daily departures use hotel pickup in Porto, with the time arranged for your group. Wine tastings and lunch are separate purchases; a boat trip is optional and costs extra.

The catch: The 9 hour vehicle booking leaves tastings and lunch to pay separately; the optional boat also costs extra.
