3.00Milena was a wonderful guide and Sergio a great driver for our trip to the Douro Valley. We were disappointed in going to a tasting room for our first stop instead of an actual winery when we were surrounded by them. The tasting was 2 small pours of a white and tawny port with not much info about the wines - or maybe there was but the woman speaking was trying to be quiet as there was a baby on the tour and she didn’t want to wake her (seriously!). After a so-so lunch we went to an actual winery and again were only given 2 small pours of a white and tawny port. Why not let us try rosé and ruby too? And why pour your entry level wines when we would have easily paid for higher tier if we tasted them! The boat ride was late in the day and very chilly. Time would have been better spent at another winery or getting back to Porto earlier. While the Valley is stunning, recommend going to Gaia and tasting higher end port instead.
Great day with well chosen stops to see the landscapes of Douro

5.00Great day with Ricardo and Marcus. Ricardo was an exceptional guide, very funny and enthusiastic ! He also gave us a lot of informations. Would 100% recommend him. Overall the day was great, we went to some amazing viewpoints and had a good guide at the first visit (blond lady, don’t remember her name). At the first stop you can buy some tasty snacks at a cafe in front of the gas station. Be careful because it was cold and windy on the boat (we went on November).
This was a great day. We...

3.00The Duoro Valley is magnificent but I didnt like the tour too much. Our guide Flavio talked a lot but unfortunately he didnt say a lot. The first stop for a "breakfast" was about 30-40 min after the tour started which is too early. Maybe would be more interesting to do a stop near Villa real. In the wineries i didnt like that they didnt put wine from the bottles into the glasses in front of us. It would be also much better that a person would speak about wines before we try each wine Boat ride - Nice. Unfortunately you see Pinhao only from the boat. Lunch was ok.
