The Guide Rui was excellent and very knowledgable. The cost was too high for the experience but he did a wonderful job. We visited 2 wineries (tastings were included) and had lunch at one of the wineries that was a bit large and crowded (lunch was not included) . Would have like to have had some flexibility in the day to see some other smaller wineries and would have appreciated a possible inclusion of the boat tour. Rui did a great job in including some stops for us to see the view of the beautiful Douro valley.

I can not recommend this tour enough. It's a family owned company (I corresponded with Sara when booking, but her son João led the tour), and João was a fantastic driver and tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and did a great job answering all our questions and giving us insight into life in the Douro valley, but he also wasn't one of those tour guides who feels the need to fill any lull in the conversation with chatter. =) My family and I really enjoyed his expertise and company, and had a blast at the wineries he took us to for some delicious wine, olives, almonds, jams and a FANTASTIC lunch (not included in the price). One of the best tours I've ever been on.

Absolute highlight of our Portugal trip. João was fantastic. He was waiting for us at our hotel, had a spotless comfortable vehicle, took us to the most special vineyards and towns, brought us to the best meal, and was a wealth of knowledge about Portugal, port, and wine. He really cared for our comfort on a hot day, too. When someone loves their country as much as he does, it is infectious. Worth every penny. If I return to Porto I’ll reach out to this company to ask them to take me on another tour.

We had an AWESOME day with Joao as our host. He made the day both fun and interesting while treating us like old friends! We saw so many things and learned so much that to list everything would take too long and would ruin the surprise of others who will take the tour. Trust me, go and discover for yourself the experience we had! Thank you for the memories we made as a family on what was the trip of a lifetime for our parents. Muito Obrigado! 💯🇵🇹🏆

It was a great day! Our guide, Carlos, is quite knowledgeable about Portugal history and the Douro Valley. He took us to interesting and nice spots, marvelous views, 3 wineries for wine tasting - all tastings were very private and able to include wines of our interest. Lunch was also very tasty. Thanks Carlos, “amigo”.
