“Our day tour was fantastic! Our guide, “Jesus,” was incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide. The cancelled boat tour due to the weather was perfectly compensated with extra wine. Overall, it was a wonderful way to conclude our trip in Porto.”

“This is a perfect intro of the Douro Valley! It’s a beautiful must see location from Porto. Our guide Manuela was funny, kind and knowledgeable. It’s definitely worth the money. A few people did get quite nauseous on the way there and back, so I would recommend preparing plastic bags or nausea medicine. It is definitely worth it if you only have a short time in porto and can’t go stay in the Douro valley!”
