The Douro arrives like a slow, brown ribbon cutting terraces from the city into the hills—this private day tour moves with it. Departing Porto, you trade urban tile for stone steps, tracking the river inland to Régua and the postcard village of Pinhão, where a traditional rabelo boat eases you along calm water carved into steep shale slopes.
