A half day well spent - A perfect amount of time traveling through the beautiful terrain, enjoying a boat ride, and a small independent wine tasting and tour. We had an absolutely fabulous tour guide!

A beautiful day in paradise with Márcio - Life is made of small moments and or some Fragments of moments that touched us in a particular way! This is what I can describe my tour with Márcio, a very ground to earth person who knows this beautiful place by heart and knows the exact spots to take you to enjoy the best food and sightseeing! Above all that is an amazing human being who deserves all the best for his professional life and his personal life as well! Is a rare sort of a guy hard to find these days.

Love it - The trip took just over an hour, but it was worth it. We started by visiting a family-run winery, with very nice hosts and excellent wines, mostly dry but light, and we couldn't miss a bottle of Port. We decided to take a bottle for the boat trip, which made the trip even more relaxing. I loved it!

Great afternoon - Despite the rain, the beauty of the Douro was evident. The boat is protected from the rain, a little cold, but that's something you can't control, right? Very good wines from a family-run winery, outside of commercial areas. Friendly and welcoming guide. A very well-spent afternoon.

Great guide and experience! - We didn’t have much time to spend in Douro so we decided to try this short tour with Marcio and we loved it! If you are in Porto, we recommend you to try it!
