This was the best wine tour l have been on. The places and the views were breathtaking. The place we stopped for lunch was an amazing place lovely lunch, and we got to try some delicous ports spanning over the decades. A boat cruise was also included in the tour. The tour guide Tiago, Was a very friendly and personable and was able to share a lot of knowledge about the region. Thanks Tiago for a great day! Overall, we had a great experience on this tour and would definitely recommend this tour.

Tiago was 5 stars! Friendly, knowledgeable and engaging guide. We absolutely loved our experience with him and everything we learned about the towns, the wines and beyond! However, there was confusion with the tour company as well as the tour company & our guide about what was owed. When you are booking, remember that there is a €54-64 per person charge for your tastings and lunch. However, at the end of the tour, we were told that we owed €106 per person and had to prove we were told €54, which worried our guide - more from a perspective that he may not be getting what he was owed or experienced a miscommunication from the company. We did ask for clarification around what we would owe at the end of the tour and never heard back, so communication was a little spotty from the tour company. Tiago was HIGHLY communicative. For a private experience, you still can’t beat what is offered and the wineries as part of the preplanned program were excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and would recommend but feel the tour company hosting this should be more apparent with what is owed both with its patrons and its guides.

The tour operator was flexible even though we arranged the trip on short notice. The vehicle and drive to Douro valley were very comfortable. The tour operator accommodated our requests to customize our trip and they took care of the reservations. We had to pay extra for the actual places we visited which was not evident from the tour description. The tasting experiences and the lunch experience with tasting at Casa dos Barros were great. The driver (Tiago) was very friendly, respectful and helpful. Awe would recommend this tour. I would recommend if you want to customize and stay with your group.

The company was amazing. They had an itinerary for us (I didn’t want to do extra research). And the wineries they took us to had delicious wine AND unique experiences. Our driver Tiago was so friendly and knowledgeable. I learned so much about the history of port wine! It was well worth to pay for the private car and tour. And it was worth it to pay the extra 65 euros per person for the itinerary (boat cruise, wine tasting, lunch). It was a great experience for my entire family!

We very much enjoyed our day with Marcio. Pick up right on time, sent me a text on where to meet him because he couldn't get to our Porto hotel. Enjoyed all of the stops, great variety in wines tasted. Lunch was excellent and the port tasting and talk given by the winemaker was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour!
