Food & Drink in Porto

Me and my mother went to Douro Valley few days ago with this company. We visited 2 vineyard tasted high quality vines and eat launch than take a boat trip. Our guide was Claudia. My mother who travelled almost all country around the world and I agree that Claudia was the very best guide we ever met. She is very charismatic, talented and professional guide. We recommend this tour and Claudia as a guide and Carlos the driver.

It was one of the most picturesque places we have travelled to. The scenery is beautiful. Unfortunately we were on a very large bus, over 24 people on the tour, not the mini bus mentioned, nor did we stop at the train station, perhaps because of the size of our group? However it didn't really matter as we had a fantastic time with a great group of people on the tour. We stopped at Sandeman and Crofts wineries, both excellent. We received two tastings at Sandeman and three at Crofts. Lunch was relaxing and plentiful. Our tour guide was Francisco and he was marvelleous. Special thanks to our bus driver who did a fantastic job! We also loved the music on the bus, nice touch, synchronising the songs, appropriate to the venue.

Exceeded our expectations. Excellent learning experience with great visuals . The tasting session very memorable with great tips .

We had the perfect guide: - we learned a lot on how the porto and wines are produced - he clearly was passionated (without being overenthousiastic) There was the Right balance between explanation/guided tour & tasting.

First off this is the tour you want. Our Guide Nuno has a degree in history and we learned lots about Portugal, the Douro and the land. He took us to two great wineries, both very different but great in their own ways. One was a big producer, but was doing everything ecologically. The second was a very small woman run winery with very unique wines. The lunch was incredible. Cooked over wood fires in a hundreds year old kitchen. Served with their own wines made on site. Fun, wonderful family run place. We spent so much time at the lunch that our boat tour had to be shorter. But that was fine as the weather was a bit rainy. I would highly recommend this tour as the guides were incredible and due to the small size of the group we were able to go to very small vineyards. Also they chose family run places where you get the feel of being part of the family.

Mini van with 5 pax was the perfect group size. Our guide George was very informative on the sights as we drove to Douro with a surprise stop in Amarante a small historic village. Both wineries we visited were fabulous. Our scrumptious lunch with quality wine at the 1st non mass producer that is also a hotel was definitely the highlight along with informative winery tour and tastings. The views were absolutely incredible. Pinhao boat ride was nice and informative. So glad I took the premium tour as it was exactly what I expected and delivered 100%. A step up from the masses. Bonus was hotel pick up and stop off. You must choose this tour to make it the highlight of your Porto visit as it was mine.
