What you pay for
Private guide and transport with a quinta visit and lunch on the half day option; the boat belongs to the full day
Ten for Tours offers a private Douro Valley visit with a quinta stop and lunch on its half day option. This option lasts 6 hours. You pay from €240 per adult with hotel pickup in Porto and daily starts between 8:00 and 11:00. The full day option lasts 8 hours. It adds another quinta visit and a boat trip, with a daily departure at 9:00 for the longer programme.
The catch: The 6 hour option has no boat trip; that belongs to the 8 hour day.

- Guide details
- A message arrives the day before with your guide's name and the vehicle registration, alongside the pickup details.

The booking page lists the 287 pickup points.
Who it is for
Choose the 6 hour option when one quinta visit and lunch are enough for your day from Porto. The boat belongs to the longer programme. Alcohol is served only from age 21, so younger travellers receive drinks without alcohol.
For lunch and a boat in one programme, Tourvent costs from €259 per adult for 4 or more; allow 8 hours. For a custom half day, Meridian4People costs from €90 per person for 8 or more; tastings and lunch cost extra.
Means: Use the half day at 8:00 for fewer stops; the full day at 9:00 adds the second quinta and boat.
Not for
- Travellers expecting a boat on the half day
- Guests under 21 who want alcoholic tastings
- Visitors seeking two quintas within 6 hours
In harvest: reserve September or October quinta visits ahead through your chosen option; a half day booking still covers only one estate.
