Discover the Douro Valley on a private full-day tour from Porto created for travelers who want beauty, comfort and freedom in one unforgettable day.
With a licensed driver-guide, travel through vineyard-covered hills, visit the historic wine village of Provesende, admire the breathtaking view from Casal de Loivos, feel the riverside charm of Pinhão and follow the scenic N222 toward Régua.
Instead of a fixed package, shape the day your way: add Port or Douro wine tastings, a river boat ride or lunch at a local restaurant or winery, all selected separately with clear pricing and no hidden markups.
Smooth, personal and beautifully paced, this is the Douro for travelers who want more than sightseeing — a private experience filled with landscapes, stories, wine culture and moments worth remembering.

8Ponte Pedonal Metalica de Peso da Regua
The metal bridge was built in 1872 by King D. Luís I for road crossing of the Douro River and was deactivated since 1949 due to the state of degradation of the wooden board. The initial project belongs to engineer W. Liebe, and was later changed by engineer Johann Gaspar Harkort and the construction work was under the guidance of German engineer Wilherm Dulhener from the Eifel team.
