In the Douro Valley the roads are really windy and narrow in many points. On your own you would take much more time to arrive to the locations, and you would be struggling when you should be only enjoying your tour and stay in the Valley. You also lose a good part of the landscapes, because you can't be driving and looking around safely on these roads. This is a Wine region, and to drive while doing Wine tastings, is unsafe and the legal alcohol limit for drivers is 0. 5 grams per litre of blood. Without a guide you will lose many interesting information about the highlights of the Douro Valley, because there is historical, cultural, religious, mythical and wine-related value in every piece of the Valley that only a local guide may provide you. Why choose me for your private driver? I may guide you to the best Wine-related, Gastronomic, Religious, Cultural, Mythical, Photographic or Adventure experiencies on the Douro Valley.

In this tour we invite you to come cycling in the vineyards, knowing this vast territory in a different and exclusive way, where you will have direct contact with the grapes and the producers. Time to visit one of the traditional wineries of the Rota da Bairrada and finish with wine and sparkling wine tasting.
