Quinta do Loureiro Taxi Hire Offer
Quinta do Loureiro is situated in a stunning location in the Douro valley.
Because of its fairly remote location – although it is only about an hour’s drive to Porto – we have always advised guests to hire a car.
Recently however, we have realised that some people might like the option to use taxis, or a combination of public transport and taxis. After all, the main railway line from Porto stops at a station just a five minute taxi ride away!
So, we have put together a selection of possible taxi rides and excursions. All prices are as of late 2025, but are subject to change.
Instead of hiring a car we offer a taxi / van / up to 8 seaters + driver for all your needs during the week / 7 nights stay including: transfer from and to the airport, shopping trips, leisure trips, one day wine tour, restaurant trips, and train station trips.
This service costs 750 Euros.
- There are many advantages of using this service:
- Enjoy the trips and the views
- No worries about directions
- No issues with parking
- No need to negotiate unfamiliar roads
- Affordable costs
- Reliable drivers
Contact Francisco for availability of the service and to find out about booking and payment.
Examples of individual taxi trips:
- To and from Porto airport
- Local supermarket for shopping
- Visit to a local winery or regional restaurant (cost of tour and/or meals not included)
- Other one-day leisure trips or tours
- Taxi return trip to local train station at Mosteirô or transport to and from the Porto Antigo Hotel or a local restaurant
We can also make your transfer back to the airport more enjoyable, with, for example:
Lunch at Ribeira , downtown touristic area of Porto city , a river cruise and in case of a late check in flight a tasting tour at one of the Port wine cellars.
Of course we will always do our very best to accommodate guests’ requests, so if there is anywhere else you would like to take a taxi tour to, please just ask!
