An amazing day in Douro - Philip was an amazing guide and taught us so much about the Douro Valley and wine!! The other people who joined us throughout the day were friendly and engaging. We enjoyed our lunch with another couple and wine tasting with a couple of friends traveling together. I highly recommend this tour!!

Airport Ride and Wine Tours - Filip was absolutely amazing! Picked us up from Porto brought us to our Airbnb in Douro Valley and then gave us a tour the next day. He spent the entire day with us, taking us to two wineries, a boat ride and anywhere else we needed to stop. We were a very lively group and he fit right in with us! He also arranged to take us back to Porto the following day (twice-since we had two different flights out). We could not recommend Filip and his company anymore!

A must do! Amazing excursion - Incredible service, what can I say… a top organization 👍
You can't come to Portugal without taking this excursion! This visit is complete on all points: visit to the port manufacturing area as well as douro wine and olive oil, boat trip, tasting, etc.) which allowed us to discover the Douro Valley in its entirety.
The landscapes are breathtaking!
In addition, having had a great experience we met two great guides.
Special mention for our French guide for whom I really fell in love!
Hoping to meet again one day who knows...
