A well organized tour: transport, explanation into the different factory, the cruise all was perfectly concerned and valuable. Our guide, Maria, has been very kind, always with a big smile on her face, very clear in her explanations. I’d strongly suggest this tour to spend a wonderful day of tasting and a good tour to smell portuguese air
