• 5Great customer service...

  Great customer service and tour from Maia and the team. Loved the boat tour and train ride back. Would have loved a heads-up about the train fare NOT being included in the tour price and the train ticket being cash only. Maia handled it professionally.

  Good tour guides with lots of info. Anyone with a mobility impairment should knowthere is a very steep walk upwards from the dock to the train station. I also really liked that the genorousity with the sparkling wine and the care and attention from Lillian from start to finish.

• 5Cheers! A Great Way to See the Douro!

  Relaxing way to see the natural beauty of the Douro River Valley! Our guide was terrific, energetic and informative. The idea of taking a train back really made it special. Great way to spend the late afternoon, toasting with the bubbly!

• 3Pass on the train….

  The folks from Delatur were great. We had a very pleasant trip up the Duoro to Tua. The boat was great, the views were great and our hosts were great. Things became less great in Tua when the train was delayed by one hours. That wouldn’t have that problem had there been something to do. However, Tua’s a small town without much going on. The wait in the heat was long. Once we got the train, we were back to Pinhao quickly, but the views from the train were limited. Lesson learned. Go with Delatur, skip the train option and cruise up AND down the Duoro. It’s beautiful!

• 5Outstanding Duoro River Cruise

  This Duoro River Cruise actually ended at the mouth of the Tua River and the views were outstanding. Our host Miguel was delightful and kept us supplied with Proseco the whole cruise!!! As there were only 15 of us on the boat (think yacht), there was lots of room. This was the highlightof our trip to Portugal so far. Great job Deltatur. 😊

• 4A pleasant morning on the Douro

  The experience was nice enough a lovely boat trip with an interesting return journey. Some commentary on the area during the trip would have elevated the experience. The sparkling wine was pleasant enough, although a fairly cheap bottle, there was plenty to go around. The trip was decent value for money, the train trip cost isn't included but it was only 2 euros each. A pleasant experience.

About Pinhão

Pinhão is a small river village in Portugal's Douro Valley, at the heart of the terraced port-wine vineyards, with a railway station covered in blue tiles.

Pinhão sits on the north bank of the Douro river in northern Portugal, where the steep valley sides are cut into terraces of vines. This is the heart of the Alto Douro Wine Region, where port is made, first marked out as a wine area in the eighteenth century and now listed by UNESCO. The railway station is covered with panels of blue-and-white azulejo tiles showing the grape harvest and local scenes, and trains of the Douro line run along the river.
