Today, you pay a visit to the gem of the region, breathtaking Douro Valley, famous for the spectacular views of terraced vineyards and excellent wines.
On your way to the fantastic place, you have a short stop at sun-bleached Peso da Régua, a treasure of Northern Portugal, for a coffee break.

After the tasting, your guide will take you to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

PORTO TRAVEL TIPS
– During the peak of the tourist season (aka July/August), the historical center of Porto is heaving with visitors. If you are not a fan of crowds and inflated prices, it’s better to plan your Porto city break for May/September, when the summer has already kicked in, but the travel season is not in full bloom. And traveling in winter is the best way to ensure the lack of the crowds and see Porto like locals see their city.
– Sightseeing tours require quite a lot of walking, so make sure to pack a time-tested pair of comfortable shoes.
– Tipping in restaurants is completely up to you. If you want to express your gratitude for the provided service, the standard tip in a restaurant is about 10%-15% of your check. If you want to tip a tour guide, about 10 EUR for a half-day tour and 20 EUR for a full-day experience would be appreciated.
