Highlights

Hi everyone, I’m Jonny! I started my own small tour company to share the Douro Valley in a relaxed, personal and authentic way. My philosophy is simple: quality over quantity. That’s why I keep my groups small, with only 4–8 guests, and work with carefully selected local partners. We start with a guided visit to a local winery, learning about the Douro and tasting different Douro and Port wines. Next, relax on a one-hour boat cruise and enjoy some of the valley’s most beautiful landscapes. For lunch, we visit a second winery for a traditional Portuguese meal with starters, main course and dessert, accompanied by local wine. Along the way, we’ll stop at some of my favourite viewpoints for photos and to enjoy the incredible scenery. Tours are usually in English or German, with occasional bilingual tours depending on the group. Everything is carefully planned, but never rushed. Small groups, local partners and a personal Douro experience. Hope to see you soon! Jonny :)

About Porto

Porto tumbles down steep hills to the Douro River, a granite city of tiled churches, riverside cellars and port wine aged across the water.

The Ribeira district lines the riverbank with colourful houses, cafés and boats, part of a UNESCO-listed old centre beneath the iron arches of the Dom Luís I Bridge. Above it, the São Bento station hall is covered in blue-and-white azulejo tiles, the Clérigos Tower rises above the rooftops, and the Sé cathedral stands on its hill.

Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
