Traveler reviews
Relaxin, informative but most importantly very enjoyable.
Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guide, John. Bus driver Luke was also very accommodating . Clean and comfortable van. I was traveling alone for the first time in many years and felt welcome and looked after. The scenery was beautiful, all of the attractions were spectacular. I particularly enjoyed the lunch in the gardens of the historical home.
Best Douro Trip with a Fantastic Guide
From start to finish our guide Tiago was amazing. His knowledge was incredible for someone so young. Brilliant lunch, bottomless wine, super boat trip and winery visit. Probably the best value trip we have ever been on. Outstanding
Brilliant tour with superb guide
An absolutely fabulous trip. Tiago our guide was absolutely brilliant, full of interesting facts and information and really friendly. He went above a beyond to make our trip memorable. The boat trip was very relaxing and a great opportunity to try some different wines whilst enjoying the wonderful Douro scenary. The lunch was superb, very tasty well prepared dishes with good quality wine and port flowing. Could not recommend this trip highly enough.
Superb Tour Guide!
The tour itself was terrific, but our guide, Rita, was the essential ingredient that made the experience exceptional. She was knowledgeable, excellent at interacting with a variety of persons, and eager to share her enthusiasm for the Douro Valley and the sights she showed us. We were able to linger at the lunch destination and engage with the property personnel for a truly personal experience, but that didn't mean we were late returning to Porto--because of Rita. Top rating for Rita for sure!
Nice ride - after a little confusion about the start - seemed a little unorganized. Bad weather from the start, but then came the sun.
A little messy start, but otherwise everything is ok. Nice lunch at the vineyard and good orientation on port wine making.
