by Deltatur, Atividades Turisticas Lda
4.7 ★ (46 reviews)
2 h up to 18

Choose Deltatur’s Pinhão boat trip if you can reach the pier for the 10:30 departure. The route runs to Tua before you return to Pinhão by train. You get sparkling wine on the boat. The train ticket costs extra. The 2 hour activity suits a day already based in the valley; travel from Porto falls outside it.

What you pay for: Boat trip with welcome sparkling wine; train ticket and lunch excluded; you arrange your own journey to Pinhão

Per adult, separate child and infant bands · 2 hours · 10:30 daily · boat trip and welcome sparkling wine · Deltatur pier, Pinhão · up to 18 travellers; infants on an adult’s lap · free cancellation until 24 h before; no refund later

Which one is right for you

For a first visit, Deltatur’s Porto day leaves Trindade at 8:20 with the day arranged. You pay from €145 per adult for a tasting and restaurant lunch with both the boat and train tickets included. The day takes 7 to 8 hours. Your group can reach 39 people; choose a private departure if that feels too large.

For a private day, North Side’s Douro tour costs from €195 per adult in a group of 4, 4 of you. That rate applies when 4 adults book together. You get pickup and lunch with a tasting and boat trip over 9 to 12 hours. The train from Pinhão to Régua depends on the timetable; skip this option if the rail ride is essential.

For the lowest price, Deltatur’s Pinhão cruise starts at the pier at 10:30. You pay from €25 per adult for the boat trip with sparkling wine. The return train ticket costs extra. Its 2 hours begin in Pinhão; you arrange travel from Porto and lunch separately.

Know before you go

How to get there

Deltatur’s Porto day meets outside Trindade Domus at 8:20. North Side collects in Porto or Gaia; Go Travel Everywhere’s selected option covers central Porto. The Pinhão cruise starts at Deltatur’s pier at 10:30 without a transfer from Porto. Use the location on your booking page; North Side arranges pickup 30 minutes before the start.

Quinta visits and tastings

The 3 Porto departures include lunch and a tasting as part of the day. Deltatur’s Pinhão cruise includes welcome sparkling wine; you pay for lunch and the train ticket separately. The button opens the booking page. You pay the price shown there for your chosen date and option.

Private group

North Side takes private bookings for up to 4 people and has age bands from infants to age 75. Younger travellers receive soft drinks. Alcohol is served only to people aged 18 and over on that day. Tell Go Travel Everywhere if a child is under 12; suitable seats need arranging before you take the road journey.

Free cancellation

All 4 options have instant booking confirmation and free cancellation until 24 hours before departure. Later cancellations receive no refund. Deltatur can cancel because of weather or insufficient travellers; Go Travel Everywhere also has a minimum traveller requirement. Keep your booking details handy if you need to change plans before the cancellation deadline.

Know before you go

Save your mobile ticket before leaving Porto. Each of these 4 tours uses a mobile ticket; keep the booking details with you at the pier and station. Wear comfortable footwear for boarding and moving between the station and the boat. Take water and sun protection for July and August; a layer for the boat helps when you are sitting outside.

When to get there

September and October bring harvest activities to the quintas. These 4 tours include no grape picking or treading. From 3 November to 24 March, CP uses replacement buses between Marco de Canaveses and Régua. That affects independent travel from Porto; local trains east of Régua remain on CP’s timetable.

People also ask

Short answers from the listings on this page.

All questions

Which Douro tours include the train?

Deltatur’s Porto day includes a train ticket and a one hour boat trip. North Side’s private tour also includes rail travel when the timetable allows it. Go Travel Everywhere pairs the train with Vinho Verde tasting. Deltatur’s Pinhão cruise includes the boat; you buy the return train ticket separately.

How does a train and boat Douro Valley tour work?

The Porto tours take you into the valley by road before a local train ride. Deltatur’s Porto day sails from Pinhão to Tua and returns to town by rail. Go Travel Everywhere uses the Régua to Pinhão section. North Side plans the opposite direction; choose it only if you can accept a car transfer when trains do not fit.

Can you combine the Douro train and a river cruise in one day?

Yes, Deltatur’s Porto day includes both within 7 to 8 hours. You meet at Trindade at 8:20 and return there after the tour. The Pinhão activity lasts 2 hours. Arrange your arrival and onward journey separately for that option; it does not promise a return to Porto by early afternoon.

How long is the train ride on a Douro tour?

Go Travel Everywhere allocates 40 minutes for the Régua to Pinhão train leg. That is a planning allowance. North Side’s 60 minutes at Pinhão station is a stop allowance; the train ride depends on the timetable. Deltatur’s Porto day has no fixed train duration in the programme.

How much does a Douro train and boat tour cost?

Deltatur’s Pinhão cruise starts from €25 per adult with the train ticket extra. The Porto day from Deltatur costs from €145 per adult. Go Travel Everywhere’s Train and Vinho Verde costs from €144 per adult with central Porto pickup. North Side’s private tour starts from €195 per adult in a group of 4, 4 of you; that rate requires 4 adults.

Does the Douro train run in winter?

Yes, trains serve the valley in winter, with replacement buses on part of the Porto route. From 3 November to 24 March, buses replace trains between Marco de Canaveses and Régua. CP still timetables trains between Régua and Pocinho. Deltatur’s 10:30 Pinhão cruise leaves before the first train from Régua reaches Pinhão at 11:31 during the works.
