★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 136 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Meet Ricardo at Porto’s São Bento Station for a short trip to Serras do Porto Park. Hike forest and river trails with Ricardo and, when well, his dog Shy, then enjoy a homemade picnic with local foods. The pace can suit different abilities, but sturdy shoes and plenty of water are essential.

“This was definitely a highlight of my solo trip to Porto! Ricardo is an amazing hiking guide who is extremely social, knowledgeable about the area, and whose love for nature is infectious. We hiked with his dog - Shy - saw some old gold mines, climbed up steep rocks (you only go on paths that you’re comfortable with, so it's very suitable for hikers of all levels), and ate delicious food. Overall, super worth it & I highly recommend.”

Travel from Porto to Vale de Mendiz for a guided 10 km hike through Douro vineyards and old villages, then reach Pinhão for wine tasting and an optional boat ride. Guides such as André, Miguel, Rui, and Jiao add local stories. Bring your own picnic, water, and sturdy shoes.

“Enjoyable day from the moment we met our guide, Jiao, and our group of 8 people from around the world. The van was comfortable and Jiao was full of personal stories as well as information about the Douro Valley. 2 wine-tastings with explanations were excellent - the smaller one with a guitar concert by another tour guide- was more intimate. Lunch in a restaurant was delicious and gave us more time to get to know our group. Boat ride was relaxing and picturesque. You could tell that Jiao really loves what he does.Read more”
