Traveler reviews
Fantastic day in the Douro Valley
My wife and I and our 2 adult sons did this private tour with Andre. He was engaging and informative and fun! He made the experience even better. The Douro Valley was incredible to see! The three wineries we visited were all excellent. Wine was amazing as was the lunch at the last spot. I highly recommend this tour.
Outstanding experience with Victor. He truly made the day feel informative, entertaining, and create a group bond
The guide was outstanding. Over the top. We would have preferred some higher quality wines with the first two stops. But overall we loved it.
Best way to see the Douro!
João was amazing. From the very beginning he made us all feel very welcome. He is was extremely knowledgeable and I learnt more on the tour from him than I had from the museums so far! He helped us all get to know each other and we had a better time for it. The drive was smooth and engaging. The winery's were all beautiful and the tastings were excellent quality and also very informative. Lunch was delicious and again great value, as well as in a beautiful location. Very relaxed and fun, perfect for holidays. Will recommend to anyone visiting Porto. Thank you again João!
Best Ever.
This was a wonderful experience. Joao was the best guide we have had in a long time. Knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. He watched and made sure everyone was safe as we walked and made sure to include everyone. He made it very personal. Alex was a wonderful driver. Felt safe at all times even driving on the twisty and curvy roads. The day flew by.
Family Day Trip
Excellent experience learning about wine. Andre was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and truly cares about his customers. The 3 wineries were excellent, ranging from a large winery to a more family-owned one. I would highly recommend this to family and friends. Three wineries are plenty. The bus was in excellent condition, with A/C and internet for the kids to play. Great experience.
