Traveler reviews
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.
Paulo did an excellent...
Paulo did an excellent job historically describing the Duoro valley region as well as Portugal, he also adapted to our needs. For Viator specifically I requested all tastings to have table wine (not just port) for tastings and I do not believe this conveyed to the local travel tour company.
Incredible Duoro Valley Experience
Julianna was an an amazing guide! She was so knowledgeable about the history and the wine making process of the Duoro Valley. We got to experience several great wineries and overall had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!!
Best Part of Porto Trip
One of the best parts of our Porto trip by far! Joao was a lovely, humorous and very attentive guide - 10/10 definitely recommend!
Red, White & Port
Sampled various red, white, and port wines at three wineries, with lunch included. Also got to try cheese, honey, and olive oil. Vitor, a true blue local, was great and provided lots of information. Recommended!
