Fabio was a fantastic guide. He is passionate, engaging and incredibly knowledgable about all stages of the harvest, wine production and tasting. As someone who has been on many wine tours, I still managed to learn something new and different. We had a wonderful morning and I would highly recommend booking any tour with him. Obrigada Fabio!

This tour is a must for any visitors to the Lisbon area. Our guide, Tania, was amazing. She was so welcoming and knowledgeable and made sure we had the best day possible. Due to Covid-19 restrictions there were only 4 of us on the tour - myself and my sister and another couple (who were also absolutely lovely and we became friends). Sintra and Cascais are so beautiful and the tour allowed us ample time to explore both areas. Tania gave us great tips on the best photo opportunity spots and also on the best places to eat. The area was very quiet compared to pre-Covid times, but it was really nice to see Sintra, the palace and surrounding area without hordes of tourists - no queues. We wore our masks at all times so everyone felt safe from a Covid point of view. I cannot fault the service and the tour. Great value and amazing to see these places with so few tourists about. One of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. It is quite hilly so be prepared for some walking - but you can always get a lift up to the palace grounds if you have limited mobility, so don't let that put you off.

We set off towards Amarante and its traditional streets where we breathe in History and Heritage.  The trip continues onto Régua, with a quick stop at an observation point in Mesão Frio. It was from Peso da Régua that, in past centuries, the typical Rabelo boats transported the barrels of wine to Vila Nova de Gaia. And this story can be witnessed in the Douro House, with its stained glass where you can see portrayed the history of the Douro Demarcated Wine Region. The Railway Station, where the first train arrived in 1879, is a must-visit. We leave for Pinhão and, once there, we suggest a walk along the river bank, a quick visit to the train station, with its typical tiles, and then on to an estate and Port wine tasting in 'Quinta do Tedo'.

Inclusions: Lunch, Driver/guide, Wine tasting, Air-conditioned vehicle, Private Transportation (If option selected)

Exclusions: Gratuities

Wow! We couldn’t have picked a better tour of the Douro. Our driver Sergio is obviously doing what he was meant to do - from the moment we met, he was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable, and tireless in his efforts to make our day memorable. Cannot recommendation this tour enough. The two wineries we visited were well-chosen, the scenery was breathtaking, lunch was a feast, and Sergio was the best. 5 stars!

It was an incredible and perfectly organized experience. Alfredo (our guide) picked us up at our place at 8:30 am sharp and drove us very safely to Douro valley. There we visited our first two vineyards (or Quintas) in the morning, then had a good lunch with an amazing river view, took a boat ride where we could see the majestic scenery of the valley. After the boat ride, we visited our third and last vineyard before driving back to Porto. He is very knowledgeable on the local wine history and techniques. It is easy to see how much he loves and respects the subect. On COVID related (New Normal) measures, we all wore face masks during our trip, every winery complied the key health measures (social distance, masks, sanitizer, etc) - I thought this might help some other travelers take the decision. We will always remember this day!

Hello, My wife & I were a part of this small group tour with another Brazilian family.Our guide was Micael Neto.He was very friendly & very approachable from the start of the tour.He drives well & is able to communicate his point in English.We personally preferred the Aveiro part to Coimbra.The Costa Nova beach & the light house were fantastic.The Moliserro cruise is an experience one should have.We had lunch & Avos Moles at the Market Square at Cafe Pixinho.The Coimbra tour was mainly a university,cathedral & the market square. Speaking personally about Micael a few incidents which stood out for me, a)He found a restaurant in Aveiro which serves vegeterian food for us. b)In Coimbra when the others were busy in the university he took us to the Botanical Garden & Cathedral. c)He helped us plan the rest of our trip in Porto & Lisbon with his suggestions. d)He even recommended places to have vegeterian food near our hotel. e)He ensured that each members personal interests were taken care off during the tour.He made it a point to understand our likes & dislikes.Eg.He made it a point to show me the storks nests & the Dragao stadium. The tour was well organised as any other but Micael was very good & would highly reccomend travelling with Micael to anybody in the future. Cheers, Dr.Vidhi & Harshit

Amazing experience. Absolutely worth the price. Juan and Carlos were very knowledgeable and helpful and fun to be around during the cruise. We got a restaurant recommendation from Carlos that we followed up on and it was a great experience. We expected to just have one glass of wine during the tour but our glasses were continually topped up and we were given snacks and there was also great music. Don't hesitate, just do it! Muito obrigado ????

This was a really memorable experience booked after having been on the Douro Valley tour offered by João and Pedro (I would highly recommend that also). Having tried wine from the region before visiting Porto we were keen to find out more about the Vinho Verde region. The tour did not disappoint, the views were spectacular from the viewpoints in Ponte de Lima and Viana do Castelo and made you really appreciate the most amazing Portuguese landscape, it;s really such a special area of the county. João was a fantastic guide, he personalised the experience and took time to get to know us and share his knowledge of the region. The town of Ponte de Lima was beautiful and I left feeling like I had seen part of the country not as famous as Porto. I'd recommend this experience if you are in Porto and also doing it with João and Pedro, they are both such great hosts and when I come back to Porto I will be getting in touch to arrange further tours. Highly recommend both the company and doing this tour if you're in Porto. Thanks for such an amazing time!
