We walked the classic Douro Valley trails and knew we could do better. So we did 🥾
Our newest tour takes you from the streets of Porto into the heart of Portugal's legendary wine country. Think terraced vineyards tumbling down to the Douro River, brand new wooden boardwalks threading through a dramatic river gorge, ancient Roman roads and wine tastings at quintas that have been producing Port for centuries.

This isn't a standard point-to-point trail. Our Route Development team handpicked the finest walks in the region and built something truly special. Ridgeline paths with views that will stop you in your tracks. Villages where bread is still baked in wood-fired ovens. A glass of Moscatel overlooking a valley of vines. This is Portugal as it's meant to be experienced.

🗓️ Tours run from 4 to 9 days
💶 Starting from €499 per person
🥾 Gentle and Moderate options available

I'm no tree hugger but... 🌳

Whether it's the wellness industry charging you a fortune for an afternoon of 'forest bathing' or the young'uns on the internet telling you to 'touch grass', they are both onto something. Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and improve mood.

We have been creating outdoor experiences that make people happy for almost two decades and we can confirm, the trees have a lot to do with it. 💚
