Rita was our guide and she was so friendly and organised . The trip was to two vineyards with a boat trip in between. She made jokes and talked to each of the group and there must be over 50 of us. She helped made a good trip a great day. I forgot the name of the gentleman who drove but he made the journey a very safe one even with some rains and all the narrow roads

We had an exceptional time on our Duoro Valley tour. Hernan, our guide, was knowledgeable and personable. He shared history about the valley and his experience working the vineyards. If Hernan is your guide, you will have a Funtastic day in the Duoro Valley.

This was a fabulous tour with Andre. Duoro valley is a beautiful wine region with terraced hills and grape vines. It was nice to get out of the city.

Exceptional day!!! TA used “efun tours” and our guide was the vivacious and humorous Rita Queli. Very knowledgeable too. Clean new van, two great wineries and pleasant short boat ride on the Douro. Rita knew all the great vistas and photo stops. She gave us recommendations for more to do in Porto to eat, drink and party. Great day for me, my wife and two 20’ish sons.

Sara was an amazing guide! Her knowledge of the history of the Douro Valley and of the wine making and the wines themselves was impressive and she presented with a great sense of humor! Lunch was delicious in a beautiful setting and, of course, the wines were excellent! Boat trip was so relaxing and scenery nice.
