Great experience in the Duero valley.

Had a lovely time with Castro leading the way, he was helpful, enjoying, and gave us some great info along the way. Well balanced tour with a beautiful city stop, two different wine testing, and a boat ride. Overall would happily book again with him and Living Tours.

Favorite Portugal Experience!

Our guide Rute was superb. As a native of the region with family history, she was able to share with us knowledge we wouldn’t have gotten from anyone else. She was fun, and made it a priority for us to have an experience we would remember. The scenery was unbelievable, the wine delicious, the food superb, and the entire experience my favorite of my visit to Portugal. Our driver,Jorge, was an absolute pro. Many many props to him for navigating the incredible roads and bridges of this journey. Could not recommend more highly!
