My husband Simon and I arranged with Ana Pinto, the Founder and Owner of Time Off (a local company based in the Douro Valley) a 5 day all inclusive accommodation, walking, wine and port tasting package. This included lunch and dinner, 3 courses - starter, main course and dessert plus a bottle of wine to share. After walking in the mornings and eating lunch, we had a visit to a different local winery for a tour and tastings every day.
Ana is a local and this is what makes the whole experience so amazing, due to her regional knowledge, friendly and professional approach and wine being in her blood through generations of her family. Her father still produces his own port from his family vines.
If you want the real experience of Douro walks and tours then forget the tour companies in Porto, book with Ana a real local expert for your events, wine & port tasting, local Portuguese cuisine, it has to be with Time Off. You will never have the experience that we had without her local knowledge. It was one of the best immersive trips we have truly had in our lives, and we travel a lot. Thank you Ana, your expertise, attention to detail and tailoring the experience to exactly meet our needs made our holiday so special!

Anna was wonderful and we got the true experience with the views, history lesson and her touches from family vineyard.  We recommend this tour as a must do in Porto

We took a tour with Ana and it all went perfectly. Ana offered us different options and was very mindful about our needs and our wishes. We have two dogs and she welcomed them as we wanted them to be with us for the tour. We went for a day trip to discover the Douro by train and boat and to visit à winery. Ana explained to us the history of her region with a lot of détails and enthusiasm. She answered all our questions. We definitely recommend her tours.

We arranged a half day hike and lunch with Ana and we were blown away by the experience!  Hiking through the valley is a perfect way to experience the place, context and culture of this beautiful region.

Ana was so knowledgeable about a broad range of topics so all questions you have will be answered!  She is also great company for a day of hiking and wine tasting.  The wine tasting itself was great and also educational!

Thank you for helping to make our honeymoon special!

We had a fantastic day with Ana as our guide. Afterwards we had the most delicious and cozy lunch served by Ana and her parents in the community center, where we had local specialties and good wine, ending with cake and her father's amazing port wine. Thank you for a heartwarming experience.

i had an incredible hike with Ana who was very welcoming. we ended up going on a very adventurous route and her homemade picnic at the end was the best with a great view over Douro Valley. 10/10 :)
