"The Douro sublimated. The prodigy of a landscape that is no longer forced to be overwhelmed. It is not a panorama that the eyes contemplate: it is an excess of nature; A geological poem. Absolute beauty."
This is how Miguel Torga - one of the greatest Portuguese poets of the 20th century - describes the Douro Valley and we invite our customers to discover with us the first wine region in the world to be demarcated and regulated.

Our tour with Richard was delightful:the scenery was spectacular and our multilingual English speaking guide/driver was engaging, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
If you only have a day to taste the Douro Valley, we highly recommend Plainsight! To make us feel better about using a car to travel distances from Porto, a Tesla was our mode of transport.

On the first day we visited Porto (4 hours). The next day we did the Douro Valley tour. Ricardo is really prepared and helpful, and it was all very interesting and pleasant.
I really recommend it.

We had a perfect day with Hugo, who helped create and then deliver a wonderful time for four of us adults plus a toddler. Highly accommodating for travelers with children, which is so hard to find! He even picked out the correct size child car seat and was so understanding and relaxed with us and so sweet to the little one. The wine tasting at the Quinta Hugo took us to was sublime! If I could give more than 5 stars I could! Hugo was so flexible in scheduling with us and let us take our time and still fit in everything we wanted to see/do, with a smile! Great conversations, great with the toddler too, and such a relaxing day! A highlight of our trip for sure!

Hugo gave us an amazing tour of the Douro Valley. We traveled with our 4 year old daughter and he always made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. We took a boat ride in Pinhão, then visited a quinta near Peso da Régua. Afterwards Hugo took us to an amazing viewpoint to see the Douro Valley. It was absolutely breathtaking. Finally we stopped in Amarante to take a break in a cafe and visited the bridge and church. We had a wonderful time and thank you for the great memories.

Our guide Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable! We learned so much about Portuguese wine/port/history/culture even language evolution in one day!!! We also didn’t not just visit two beautiful winery but visited beautiful small villages and some other interesting places. The whole day was fabulous, we’d highly recommend! Thanks again for a wonderful day.

The Douro region is spectacular in any circumstances, but to experience it as we did in this tour, guided by knowledgeable and attentive people as the Plainsight crew made it all the more memorable.
Thank you!

Forget France, and rediscover real amazing wines and an even better landscapes in the Douro Valley. We enjoyed a time to never forget including a boat tour on the beautiful Douro. All day no worries, everything organised in to perfection. Thank you for the amazing day! We will be back for sure.
