We cannot thank Carlos and the entire team at Endless Weekends Tours enough for the exceptional service on our trip from Porto to the Douro Valley and Côa Valley. Every aspect of our journey, from the attentive approach provided by Ana during the booking process to the outstanding tour led by Carlos, was extraordinary. Not only did Carlos offer us the convenience of customizing our itinerary according to our interests, but he also acted as our dedicated translator whenever needed, making our interactions with vendors seamless. Navigating the Douro roads in his comfortable and air-conditioned car, Carlos delighted us with captivating stories about the Valley's rich wine culture and all things Portugal. His warmth and passion created an unforgettable experience that we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking lasting memories. Endless Weekends Tours truly goes above and beyond!

We really enjoyed our tour. Visiting the rock art of Fox Coa can be difficult but our guide Carlos may it all go well. The car was very comfortable and he did a great job getting the guide sorted out. Our lunch was excellent and the wine tasting was great as we enjoyed the beauty of the Douro. Well done and thank you.
