Great trip, informative and fun. It was Margarida's first trip as courier and she handled it with charm. Novais was a good driver bearing in mind some of the challenges presented. The wine estates were a good choice and the lunch was spent in good company with our fellow travellers.

This tour was AMAZING! It’s a very wholistic tour of the Douro valley. We loved the town we stopped in to walk and have coffee. The winery with the meal was delicious and very filling. We then took a cruise through the river which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful views. The final winery was beautiful and the port wine was amazing. Going on this tour really allowed us to relax and enjoy the area. The views driving there were breathtaking. Finally, our tour guide Tania and driver Esteves were fantastic. They were knowledgeable and very friendly. We really enjoyed their hospitality. We recommend this tour 100 percent!

Perfect day in Douro Valley with an amazing bunch of people and a fabulous guide Fred. Myself and my husband booked this tour last minute and we are so glad we took the decision to go. A perfect end to our week stay in Porto. This tour consisted of lunch, a visit to two wineries and got to try quite a variety of wines and ports at both wineries and we also visited a pretty little village called “ Sao Martinho de Anta “, which we had some free time in, a cruise down the Douro Valley for a hour taking in the beautiful scenery, very relaxing. Learnt a lot from our guide for the day “ Fred “, who was extremely knowledgeable on the local area. We would highly recommend this tour. We were blessed with a fabulous group also, which always makes these experiences more enjoyable. 🙂
