Very enjoyable trip to Douro Valley - Definitely worth the price. Everything was very well-organized, the bus ride was comfortable and safe, and the activities were enjoyable and even informative. The tour guide, Ricardo, was an excellent host, warm, funny, and very welcoming. The lunch was very nice, and both the wine and port tastings were wonderful. It helped that it was an absolutely gorgeous day, but even without the beautiful weather, I'm sure the tour would've been quite enjoyable.

Relaxing and informative tour - An absolutely lovely day, from beginning to end. Easy pickup at our apartment, comfortable and clean vehicle for our drive to the valley. Our guide, Pedro, was courteous, welcoming and friendly. Very knowledgeable of the area, and the history of the region.
Patient and helpful with my 95 yo mom! She truly enjoyed the day. The wineries and lunch were lovely. The boat ride comfortable and smooth.
And, yes, the weather helped! Absolutely gorgeous, sunny, and cool.

Great day out in Porto! - Fabulous tour. Great variety of things to do! I went solo and still had a fabulous day. Our tour guide was funny as heck, knowledgeable and played some great tunes on the bus.
Was recommended this by some fellow travellers.
Go on…. Give it a go!!

Magnificent Milena guided us to Douro Valley - Hello Milena, how could we forget you😁
Maree and I enjoyed the day and it got off to a great start when you hopped out of the van with a big smile on your face and greeted us warmly whilst introducing yourself.
The vehicle was spotless and very comfortable and importantly we could all hear your commentary which was very informative, but not over the top.
The timing of events on the day were well organised, the coffee stop was enjoyed as was the visit to the Santa Julia vineyard and the young lady’s presentation was superb.
The quality of lunch was a surprise and once again the venue and staff presented well.
The cruise was relaxing although had we had some commentary it would enhance that leg of the day.
Overall the information we received on the day from all presenters including of course your good self was most informative.
Regards Maree & Greg.

Excellent experience even if not a wine connoisseur - Milena, our tour guide, provided a great balance of information and humor on the bus ride to and from the Douro Valley. The tour allowed for frequent breaks and Milena was more than accommodating if we needed more time at the various stops. Thomas, our driver, was also very good and was responsive to our temperature needs on the bus. We especially enjoyed the views and had several opportunities for photo taking. I’m not a wine drinker but would do the tour again any day for the overall experience of the Doura Valley including understanding its extensive history and the wine/port making process.

Best tour, thanks to Ricardo & George! - Thank you to Ricardo and George! Ricardo was the best tour guide we had in our entire trip! And that's saying a lot considering we did 5 cities across 3 countries. He made this tour so much fun while learning about Portugal's history and culture. He was friendly, knowledgable and had a great sense of humor. We wish he was our tour guide everywhere!
The Douro valley itself was a day trip that exceeded my expectations. The wine, food and company of fellow travelers were great. Everyone who was part of the tour, from the winery guide to our boat captain were awesome. We learned so much about wine, the process of making it, and the small towns we passed along the way. The only thing I regret is not buying wine at the winery. I was worried about baggage weight, but even the small samplers would've been worth it.
The pace of the tour was fine for my parents in their 70s. They did have a smaller van for those who preferred to ride instead of walking up to the winery.
For the cruise, there is a small shaded area next to the captain if you prefer, instead of sitting out in the sun towards the front.

Douro Valley is a must... - Douro Valley is a must see, rich with history and beautiful scenery. Our tour guide Milena was the best, very kind and loved her jokes. Our driver Lino, was safe & clearly skilled with his driving. Highly recommend this tour and if you have Milena & Lino as your guides it will defintely be a great experience.

A must-do in Lisbonne - Wonderful experience to admire the Douro in all its sides. Generous wine-port tasting and lunch, with very kind and dedicated people. This experience worths every penny. Special mention to our fantastic guide Antonio!
