Guidekin's take

A private Douro day guided by a certified sommelier, with hotel pickup, a Douro map, wifi and insurance in the price, aimed at learning how the wines are made rather than ticking off estates.

Lunch is paid on the day at roughly a restaurant price. 4.95 from 38 reviews at €365 per person.

In our comparison: #27 of 40 in Private Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
