Traveler reviews
Perfect Day in the Douro Valley.
Joao was a perfect guide - knowledgeable and engaging. Thanks to his enthusiasm our group coalesced and we left with new friends. The wineries were great locations with friendly staff. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Port and more
What a wonderful day in Portugal touring and tasting in 3 wineries, capped off with a delightful lunch. We learned how port is made. Why the climate makes perfect wine. Highly recommended!
Douro Valley Wine experience
A long day, but with the right tour guide, the time spent driving to Douro Valley provides opportunity to learn about Portuguese culture, landscape and history. João from E-Fun Tours made the day an amazing learning experience, and the vineyard sommeliers were very knowledgeable and engaging. Enjoying lunch on an outdoor patio with wine pairings was absolutely delightful. Highly recommend this tour.
Amazing port tour
Rita was fantastic and the tour was amazing! Learned so much and had many laughs. Enjoyed the different size vineyards and the different wines and ports. The lunch was delicious. Only negative was the van. Very tight fit for 8 people especially without good air conditioning.
