Joao was excellent - We had (family, five persons, a lot of experience using vip-services) a private tour from Porto to Douro wine-area, especially to Pinhao area and there winetasting, lunch and river-tour by boat. Our driver and guide was Joao Frade. Excellent service, a lot of information and good English skills. I recommend strongly. Hole daytrip was all worth of money in a reasonable price.

Excellent personalised experience - Bernadino hosted our private tour at short notice. The car was plush and spotless. Bernadino was hugely knowledgeable and passionate about the area with a personal interest in the wine industry which was a great benefit to us. His English is endearing. Our experience was extremely good value for money and an excellent recommendation from the local tourist office.
