Which one is right for you

On a first visit, take the 7:45 Oporto Road Trips tour if you want two quinta visits arranged. You pay from €104 per person for a restaurant lunch and a boat trip lasting 50 minutes alongside the tastings. Amarante gets 30 minutes of free time. Skip this choice if a day lasting 9 to 10 hours would be too long.

For a shorter day, Deltatur's Amarante tour leaves at 8:15 and costs from €89 per adult. You travel with up to 16 people and spend 90 minutes in Amarante after visiting the Douro. The day takes 6 to 7 hours. You get longer in Amarante, though lunch is tapas aboard the boat.

The lowest price is Inside Amarante from €25 per adult for 7 to 10 for bookings of 7 to 10 adults. You walk through town for 100 to 120 minutes with a guide from Inside Experiences. Transport from Porto is outside the price. This option fits if Amarante is your destination and you can arrange the journey yourself.

During the harvest weeks, Oporto Road Trips suits you if you want two quinta tastings with transport between them. You cannot choose named estates from this itinerary. Book a separate harvest programme if picking grapes is the reason for your visit. The picking dates depend on the weather and the vineyard.

In harvest: September and October bring picking programmes at Douro quintas. You need a separate programme for vineyard work; these tours include tastings.

Know before you go

Porto meeting points

Both day tours start at meeting points in Porto. Oporto Road Trips leaves from the main entrance of Palácio da Bolsa; arrive 10 minutes before its 7:45 departure. Find Deltatur outside Trinity Porto by Trindade Domus for the 8:15 departure. Inside Amarante begins outside São Gonçalo church in Amarante and includes no transfer from Porto.

Amarante tour meals

Oporto Road Trips includes lunch with Douro wine at a restaurant in Sabrosa, with dietary requirements accommodated when sent in advance. Deltatur includes tapas brunch aboard its boat and food tastings in Amarante, so a separate restaurant meal is outside the itinerary. Inside Amarante includes tea or coffee during your walk. You arrange lunch yourself on that option.

Amarante tour ages

Deltatur and Inside Experiences have child bands for ages 5 to 12, while the Oporto Road Trips price covers every age band equally. Oporto Road Trips discourages bringing children and needs advance notice to arrange their seating. Deltatur has infant seats available for families. Travellers under 18 receive non-alcoholic drinks on Deltatur, even when their ticket falls within the adult age band.

Amarante tour bookings

All three tours have instant booking confirmation. You can cancel free until 24 hours before departure; later cancellation has no refund. Deltatur and Inside Amarante can also be cancelled for poor weather, while the town walk depends on sufficient participants. Use the booking page to select your party size and travel date; you pay the price shown there.

Douro tour clothing

Wear shoes you can walk in for the Amarante sections, especially the 90 minutes with Deltatur or the separate town walk. Bring water for the valley in summer. Light clothing suits the warmer months, while winter calls for warmer layers on the Oporto Road Trips route. Deltatur is unsuitable for reduced mobility; Inside Experiences offers a wheelchair accessible route with the difficulty adapted to the group.

Douro tour seasons

Deltatur closes on 24 and 25 December. It also closes on 1 January and Easter Day, although its departure pattern runs daily. In harvest: September and October have separate picking programmes at Douro quintas, with dates dependent on weather and the vineyard. These tours include tastings and town visits; a separate harvest programme suits you if you want to take part in the picking.
