This is not a typical Douro Valley tour. I guide small groups in a luxury car through less crowded routes, sharing hidden gems and local stories along the way. From warm bread at a traditional bakery to a relaxed river cruise and private tastings at a family run winery, every stop is personal, authentic, and far from the touristy script. It's a slow paced, intimate day like exploring the valley with a local friend.

In Favaios, we visit a traditional bakery where you’ll taste warm bread straight from a wood-fired oven and learn about the village’s strong baking heritage. You’ll also get to know the story behind “Pão de Favaios,” a regional staple, and feel the rhythm of local life in this charming, quiet village.
At Pinhão’s historic train station, we stop to admire its famous azulejos — traditional blue-and-white tiles that beautifully depict Douro Valley life and harvest scenes. It’s a quick but meaningful stop where you’ll experience the artistic and cultural identity of the region in just a few minutes.
We take a relaxing boat ride along the Douro River, surrounded by vineyard-covered hills and peaceful landscapes. It’s a moment to slow down, enjoy the views, and take in the beauty of the valley from the water — a unique perspective that shows just how special this region is.
We stop for lunch at Sabores do Douro, a family-run restaurant where you’ll enjoy a traditional Portuguese meal with local flavors and hearty dishes. It’s a warm, authentic experience that reflects the region’s hospitality and love for good food.
In Casal de Loivos, we visit a small, family-run winery for a guided tour where you'll learn about traditional winemaking methods. You'll also enjoy tastings of their wines, as well as locally produced olive oil, honey, and fresh bread. We finish at one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the Douro Valley — the perfect place to relax and take in the stunning landscape before heading back.
