Add an ExtensionThe contours of golden grape arbors twist and bend toward the distant river below and sun-kissed heavens above. It’s a place to pause mid-hike—flanked by silvery olive trees and whitewashed quintas—and admire the beauty of inland Portugal. Of course, the fact that you’re admiring it in the third-oldest controlled wine region (a UNESCO World Heritage site) helps. And the glass of port waiting for you at the trail’s end? Even better. But you won’t just remember the scenery: each day on this Douro Valley tour brings its own surprises. From friendly locals in the fortress town of Marialva to a walk through history on the ancient Caminho de Santiago to a relaxing float on a rabelo boat, Portugal’s gifts pour out freely.

Portugal is very beautiful and interesting. The trip was lead by superb- very accommodating, very knowledgeable, wonderful guides. The hiking was not what I hoped for. Sometimes not great trails and some days too little walking. The accommodations were very nice, unique and high quality. The options for meals when we were “on our own” we’re limited and not always great. We had an excellent group of travelers and really enjoyed the meals, conversations and walking together.
Pathways Of Portugal: Walking The Douro Valley
This walking tour was so well organized and well executed! I was very impressed. The guides, Ana and Helen, were probably the best I have ever encountered on tours. They worked well together and were very knowledgeable on the history and culture of the area we were traveling in. They always had a "can do attitude". And they were fun!! I was surprised on the amount of time we spent traveling on the bus. But after traveling to the area, I can understand that the distances between the 3 areas we walked in was too vast to have traveled any…
