5.00This was a great day—from the easy pick up at our Airbnb to our winery and lunch stops to the lovely river cruise. Jose was a great guide—warm and engaging—and the lunch was honestly one of the best meals we had on our trip (and that’s saying something bc there is so much fantastic food to be had in Portugal).
A Wonderful Half-Day Wine Experience

5.00A fun and enjoyable half-day tour. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. The wine tastings were excellent, and the explanations were informative and engaging. David, our driver and guide, was friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the experience. Highly recommended.
Probably the best small group tour

5.00This was perfect in every way! Alvaro, our guide was brilliant, and combination of visits to wine/port producing estates and river trip was magical; the lunch stop was well planned and with great local dishes; the group size was small (8) for the estate visits and also on the boat (16); this company, tour, and in particular Alvaro our guide are highly recommended👏
Would really recommend this tour
