Dreaming in the Duoro Valley - We loved the tour to the Duoro Valley. The wine tasting and lunch was wonderful and all the information about how the wine is grown in the Duoro Valley was so very interesting. The cruise was also very good. We had a wonderful tour guide Alex who was very helpful and was such a good safe driver.

Awesome tour - I had an incredible experience on the Douro Wine Valley Tour with Luis. His expertise made the tour truly enlightening, and I particularly enjoyed the intimate lunch experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the region with a knowledgeable guide! My only note is the second vineyard we had to join a tour of 20 which took away the small tour feel. Also, all the tastings were done, standing up on hard concrete, not very comfortable.

Amazing Tour - I had the most incredible experience on the wine tour guided by Luis. His passion and extensive knowledge of history and wine made the tour truly exceptional. Luis went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the tour was perfect including insightful commentary throughout the journey. I learned so much and enjoyed every moment. If you're looking for an unforgettable wine tour experience, Louis is the guide to choose! Five stars without a doubt.

Exceeded our expectations! - From the moment Ana Alves picked us up at our hotel, we traveled back in history with her amazing insights into the region and culture. The journey was so comfortable, informative and swift. We enjoyed the tour stops, wine tasting, and boat excursion. However, the lunch alfresco was outstanding. The food, wine, and experience exceeded our expectations. I could have spent more hours exploring with Ana! I highly recommend this trip - a perfect day of relaxation after a weekend of walking the cobble stone streets!

A beautiful day in the Douro Valley with an excellent tour guide! - Amazing day and a wonderful guide! Ana was exceptional and made the day so nice. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of winemaking in the Douro Valley. Highly recommend this tour both for the amazing scenery and the wine tasting! We were also very impressed with this company in general as they went above and beyond to keep us informed (with both an email and a phone call) when our guide was running a little late picking us up due to heavy traffic.

Wonderful Douro Valley Tour - My husband and I had a wonderful day trip with Anna Alves as our guide. She is an excellent driver and a friendly and knowledgeable guide. She gave us and our small group a lively history of the region and its wine growers and varieties. She did a great job answering our questions and helping the group get to know each other. We highly recommend this trip and Anna as a guide.

Highlight of our vacation! - Today we went with Ana Alves was our tour director today. It was wonderful because they came right to the door to pick us up and drop us off. And I was above and beyond knowledgeable. Polite and friendly. She was a sheer pleasure to be with. Everyone just loved her! She had a very good understanding of the wine and the area and there wasn't any question that she didn't know the answer to. The van was very comfortable and she supplied water for us as well. She felt like one of the gang. She was professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. This was our first time here and it really made a great impression. Many thanks from Gigi and Ray!

Informative and at times light-hearted day out - Informative but also fun at times. Goncalo seemed to know everything ranging from history and wine to flowers and traditions. His command of English was very good, and he had a good sense of humour, so everyone enjoyed themselves. The rustic lunch was home cooked/grilled and very good. The two different wine and port tastings were interesting as well as amusing at times. We were picked up punctually for the trip at our accommodation.
