SERGIO is great and made this tour amazing - I booked the small tour as I wanted a personal experience. Luckily it is the slow season so the 2 of us were all alone with our driver tour guide Sergio! Sergio is amazing, raise his rate of pay, he's that good. The small tour is the way to go, we encountered one of the smaller busses, about 20ppl and they just didn't appear to be having the same experience as we did. First, we got off the beaten path wineries where a small bus can't fit. It was a very intimate experience and I highly recommend it to anyone not caring about cost and want the experience. Not sure you can request a tour guide, but if you can, Sergio is the guy to ask for. I wouldn't trade this memory for anything else, it was an absolutely wonderful time! Sergio also had great TIPS on the area!

Highly recommended - I don’t typically leave reviews, but this was one of the best experiences I've had on my travels through Europe. I’ve visited Bordeaux and Tuscany, two of the more famous wine regions, but the Douro Valley is truly one of a kind. Our guide, Marcelo, was fantastic, and throughout the entire journey, we felt incredibly welcomed by all the locals who showed us around. The authenticity of the Portuguese culture and the beauty of the valley are what truly make this experience so special and unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour, especially for wine and port lovers. The lunch was outstanding—a three-course meal paired with two wines and port with dessert. Over the course of the day, we tasted 10 different wines and ports. The value is exceptional, and the experience is genuine. Thank you, Marcelo!

A great day out in the Douro Valley - We had the tour today and it was a great day with Pedro. The first family-owned winery (Quinta Santa Eufemia) with the Port Wine, and the Douro River cruise in a Rabelo boat with the views were our highlights. Considering it was a full day tour, it was quite a leisurely pace. Selecting a small group tour was the best decision, as we got door-to-door service and it was a more tailored setting. Pedro even gave us some great tips to make the most of our time in Porto.

Beautiful views and delicious wine - Sergio was an incredible tour guide and the trip was so worth. With one person who doesn't drink with us on this tour, I wasn't sure how it would work out. The tour was entertaining that everyone enjoyed it. The boat ride was beautiful, the wineries really nice, and the views were incredible. Sergio was a tremendous tour guide and really made the effort to make sure everyone had a great day.

Good day out - Trip was very smooth and comfortable, Sergio did his best to accommodate us. Wine testing in the afternoon was great- vineyard we visited had a great guide Armenu- he made our day with his jokes and easy going nature. If you enjoy your wine- great tour. You will appreciate the detail and variety of what you will try. Lunch was great- meet was melting in the mouth.
