“Very informative tour that provide an interactive means of explaining the overall process of producing port. And a great way to end the tour with the Fado and tasting. My only dislike was the size of the tour group and the fast pace/speech of the tour guide. Made it difficult to comprehend all info at times and to ask questions. For the price would recommend.”
