5.00The ship was smaller than we expected, but that turned out to be an advantage. The tour was run in a small group, which gave everyone the chance to chat and connect. It was a lovely experience meeting new people on Christmas Day. The two crew members were both friendly and professional. The explanations were excellent, helping us learn a lot about Porto’s history and culture, and we also enjoyed tasting three different wines.
Great experience
