5.00If I could give this tour more than 5stars I would! Alexandre was really one of the best guides we have come across in our travels. He was so personable and fun but also could answer any question. The tour is well planned out and even with our small glitch to start, Alex kept everything on schedule without feeling rushed. Loved the day in the beautiful countryside and the wine tasting and then the lunch were amazing! Alex also gave recommendations for the rest of our stay that also turned into some of our best meals in our two week stay. Excellent from beginning to end! Thanks Alex!

5.00Marcel was the best guide, he was so sweet and charming. The tour was great, the food was great, the wine, honey, olive oil was great. It is cold so the boat ride was cold, they had blankets, it even began to snow! We had lots of laughs and a great time! So worth it to not have to worry about the driving!
Outstanding small group Douro river/wine tour.

5.00I booked the small tour as I wanted a personal experience. Luckily it is the slow season so the 2 of us were all alone with our driver tour guide Sergio! Sergio is amazing, raise his rate of pay, he's that good. The small tour is the way to go, we encountered one of the smaller busses, about 20ppl and they just didn't appear to be having the same experience as we did. First, we got off the beaten path wineries where a small bus can't fit. It was a very intimate experience and I highly recommend it to anyone not caring about cost and want the experience. Not sure you can request a tour guide, but if you can, Sergio is the guy to ask for. I wouldn't trade this memory for anything else, it was an absolutely wonderful time! Sergio also had great TIPS on the area!
A great day out in the Douro Valley

5.00We had the tour today and it was a great day with Pedro. The first family-owned winery (Quinta Santa Eufemia) with the Port Wine, and the Douro River cruise in a Rabelo boat with the views were our highlights. Considering it was a full day tour, it was quite a leisurely pace. Selecting a small group tour was the best decision, as we got door-to-door service and it was a more tailored setting. Pedro even gave us some great tips to make the most of our time in Porto.
