Porto · TRAIN EXPERIENCES
4 reviewed
This is the shortlist we’d hand a friend: the 4 train experiences worth booking, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and the one thing to know before you commit.
Porto in 3 hours: train through historic sights, visit Portugal’s oldest cellar Real Companhia Velha, taste 2 ports, then cruise the Douro.
“The train was a good intro to the city, we went bak and enjoyed some of the attractions. The Wine Cellar and tasting was good. The Douro 6 Bridge tour was hard to find, not well marked, but enjoyable once we found the location”
Porto to the Douro by boat, train, and winery lunch. Terraced vineyards, wine tastings, and scenic rail views in 7 hours.
“It was a comfortable drive and we enjoyed the visit to the winery with tasting, train ride, boat ride on river and lunch. The scenery was stunning. Pedro and Miquel were great.”
Magic Train from Sé Catedral to Real Companhia Velha cellars for a guided visit and two Port tastings, plus optional lunch.
“excellent way to sample a little of what Porto has to offer”
Douro day trip from Porto with a train ride in Pinhão, a boat cruise, included lunch, and wine tastings, all for about 6 to 8 hours.
“The view is great. No need to add to repeat what other wrote but there are some small issues that can be improved. Here some examples 1. The night before the tour got a message that the tour was changed and the train ride was cancelled instead we would visit stores. We had no time to change the tour. 2. After two hours of drive without a stop we board the boat with a single tiny toilet for 20 people. Not fun. Need to have a body call stop before 3. After the complete day we had to wait more than 15 minutes to the van. It could be better…”
