The drive was long but worth it. the views were beautiful. I have been on many other wine tasting tours and I don’t think any come close to the quantity of wine they served you. It was limitless. We were surprised that the lunch was as good as it was, usually with larger crowds the quality is lessened, but this was definitely not the case. The drunk cake was amazing.

This full day trip is sooo worth the price! Each winery gives a generous amount of Porto wine with beautiful views and very informative guides. Our tour guide Ana S. António was so amazing and entertaining the entire trip! If you’re able to get a tour with her I highly recommend! The food at the first winery tasted amazing as well. This tour went above and beyond my group’s expectations.

An excellent day out. Trip ran efficency and the wine and food was good and the views of the picturest Douro Valley were great. However the trip did not live up to our expectations in that the itinerary talks of visiting two wine estates with tastings of wines and ports and lunch at a private estate with paired wines. Only one wine estate was visited plus lunch at a private house/ estate. The visits we had were excellent, the boat trip was pleasant and the transport could not be faulted. The itineraries on the Living Tours website differs from that on the TripAdvisor website. The Living Tours website also offers a bottle of water per person as included as well as cheese and olives with the tastings ( that was only provided with lunch). The order of the visits differs between the two itineraries on the website and the tour we actually had.

Fantastic tour. Tour guide and driver were great and had a playlist of songs that made the rides out and back fun with singalongs. First winery was beautiful with three very nice tastings. River cruise was just the right duration with beautiful scenery. The lunch/tasting was extraordinary. The hosts were fun, the food was fantastic and the wine - suffice it so say these were not limited to mere tastings. A good time was had by all - and I should note, it was a wonderful group to share the day with. I didn’t catch everyone’s names but people from New York, Canada, Denmark, Australia, Jamaica and even others, like me, from Northern California. One of the songs played in the van toward the end of the ride back into Porto was Perfect Day by Lou Reed. Yes indeed, it was.
