    Tour Radar made our trip easy and fun! All the guides were great, with one exception, and all the venues we visited were superb. The hotels were well situated and beautiful. All the transportation was on time and clean and safe.

    Everything was great about this tour. The hotel was an excellent choice. The drivers from the port and to the airport were nice and much appreciated. Pedro, our main guide for three days was a joy to be with. A very knowledgeable and friendly guide, a safe driver, etc. On day two the power went out throughout Iberia, so Sintra closed on us (more reason to come back again). Pedro and the hotel worked hard, went above and beyond and took great care of us throughout. We highly recommend Pedro, the Lisboa Plaza Hotel and this tour company.

    Brian

    Asked on May 7th, 2025

    I am interested in your 4 day luxury Douro cruise for my wife and I and my brother in law (3 adults). We will be in Porto on October 3rd and fly out on October 8th. Do you have any cruises available in that time span?

    • Portugal Travel CenterOperatorWritten May 2025

      I'm sorry but the last date available for this cruise is really in August. Could we tailor you a great luxury experience in Douro valley for your stay with us?

  • B

    Bruce

    Asked on April 25th, 2025

    I'm interested in a 2-3 night Douro Valley cruise between August 16-20, 2025. The group will include six adults, looking for a mid- to higher-end option that travels with a larger group, ideally all-inclusive with hotel accommodations included and possibly visits to quintas or local wineries along the way.

    Asked on April 21st, 2025

    Looking to do a cruise on the Duoro River in May 2026. Most likely a shorter cruise (4days). Do you have dates available for these cruises?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Portugal Travel CenterOperatorWritten April 2025

      We do not have yet dates for 2026. We will have it closer to end of year. Are you looking just for a Douro river cruise or can we help suggesting a great trip in the Douro without the cruise?

  • L

    Lisa

    Asked on March 25th, 2025

    Do you have availability for this cruise at the end of May or early June?

    Price / Availability
    • Portugal Travel CenterOperatorWritten March 2025

      For this cruise the earliest departure date is the June 27th departure, which is a great time to enjoy Douro with nice temperatures and clear blue skies!

    Asked on March 3rd, 2025

    The child is my grandson. He is 12 years old. Can he go on this 4 day cruise

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Portugal Travel CenterOperatorWritten March 2025

      He can go with you on the cruise yes, however as the cabins are not big, the three of you would have to stay in two cabins, and your grandson can not stay in a cabin alone.

    • S

      Scott

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      We will be booking at least three rooms as my son and his wife will be coming too. We were thinking around 13 April.

    • Portugal Travel CenterOperatorWritten March 2025

      Unfortunately we only have availability for the April 4th departure. Would that work for you? As there are only 3 cabins available for that date, I made a pre-reservation to give you some time to think.

    Asked on July 22nd, 2024

    I am interested in the price and the available dates after the middle of October. There will be two couples so we would need two cabins.

    • Portugal Travel CenterOperatorWritten July 2024

      We currently have no available dates in October. Would any of the departures in August work?

      Rachael

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      We will be coming to our winter home in Algarve Portugal the first week of October so that is why we are looking at something around the 20th as that is when we have friends coming to stay with us and to visit Porto.

    • Portugal Travel CenterOperatorWritten July 2024

      We suggest visiting Porto and the Douro Valley where you can do a cruise in the river. This is our suggestion of the Itinerary: 1st day: Arrival to Porto for 2 nights with breakfast included. 2nd day: Porto Tour with visiting wine cellars and wine tasting. 3rd day: Transfer to Douro Valley for 2 nights with breakfast - Lunch and wine tasting at one of the famous wineries in Douro Valley - in the afternoon boat trip on the Douro River. 4th day: At lunchtime a picnic among the vineyards followed by a wine tasting in one of Douro's fantastic wineries. 5th Day: After breakfast transfer back to Porto.
