Drift through the canals of Aveiro, the “Venice of Portugal,” aboard a traditional moliceiro boat, sample the city’s famous ovos moles, and discover the refined artistry of Vista Alegre porcelain.

Then, immerse yourself in the breathtaking Douro Valley. Settle into a luxurious riverside retreat where vineyard lunches, a private river cruise, and spa moments invite you to truly unwind. The journey ends in Vila Nova de Gaia, with sweeping river views and a farewell dinner to toast our shared memories.

What Awaits

Porto
Your journey begins in Porto, one of Europe’s most charming and walkable cities. After a private airport transfer, settle into your centrally located hotel. The evening kicks off with a welcome dinner, to connect over great food and company and ease into the adventure together.
The following day, explore Porto with a full-day guided tour. You will walk historic streets, visit iconic viewpoints, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, and experience a traditional Port wine cellar tasting. It is the perfect introduction to the city and its famous wine culture.
Aveiro and Vista Alegre
Often called the "Venice of Portugal", Aveiro is known for its canals, colorful moliceiro boats, and relaxed coastal feel. You will enjoy a guided visit, a shared canal boat ride, and a tasting of ovos moles, one of Portugal’s most beloved sweets.
The day also includes a visit to the Vista Alegre Museum, showcasing Portugal’s renowned porcelain craftsmanship. After lunch, return to Porto for a relaxed evening exploring at your own pace.
Braga and Guimarães
This full-day private tour takes you back in time through Portugal’s storied past. Braga and Guimarães, two of the country’s most historically and culturally significant cities, set the stage for a day rich in depth and beauty. From Braga’s hilltop sanctuary and sweeping panoramic views to medieval Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal, the experience feels like strolling through the cobblestone streets of a fairytale.
Douro Valley
Next, travel privately into the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage region and one of the world’s oldest wine-producing landscapes. Settle into a luxurious riverside wellness resort, our serene base for the next three nights, nestled along the banks of the Douro River. From the moment you arrive, the pace slows as vineyard-covered hills and sweeping river views invite you to fully unwind. The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure.
The following day offers a full immersion into the Douro. Visit a local winery, enjoy a leisurely lunch at the vineyard, and cruise the river aboard a private rabelo boat. Another day is left intentionally unstructured, perfect for indulging in the resort’s spa, or exploring nearby towns and historic quintas at your own pace.
Vila Nova de Gaia
The journey concludes in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from Porto, famed for its historic wine lodges and panoramic views. After checking into your five-star hotel, enjoy a leisurely afternoon at your own pace before coming together for a farewell dinner overlooking the Douro, a fitting end to an unforgettable week.
On the final morning, a private transfer takes you back to Porto International Airport.
