Great wine, boat, lunch adventure in the Douro Valley - Excellent wine tour of the Douro Valley with Luis (aka Jose). He did an exceptional job chaperoning our small party of 7 from Porto to the valley and back. It was a relaxing, fun, knowledge building and wine experience. Visited a small boutique winery in the late morning on the banks of the Douro River. Spectacular views! A relaxing small 1 hour boat ride on river in the early afternoon was excellent. Had a cocktail and some great starters. Culmination of the trip in a second winery for a tour and an excellent Portuguese lunch. All told, a full wonderful day. Highly recommend the venture and Luis was and is top notch!

10/10 Most do - 10/10 If you happen to overdue it the night before this winery tour - have no fear. The drivers and staff specifically, Josè, anre extremely caring and accommodating. I needing to make an emergency (few) stop(s) on the bus ride from Porto to Duoro Valley. I recommend getting breakfast before, instead of wine until closing time the night before. Despite my condition we had the most amazing experience. The imitate group size, and getting to know the staff truely made the experience. A nossa!

Thoroughly Delightful Day in the Douro Valley - Our party of 4 had a delightful day. We learned so much about the history of the area, the wines, and the people. Our guide, Luis, was a joy to spend the day with. he was extremely knowledgeable and even more personable. We met at the McDonalds - Imperial. The van we traveled in was comfortable and clean. Luis entertained us on the drive to the valley with pertinent information and stories. It was never a lecture but a conversation among friends. We were kindly welcomed at each winery and enjoyed the diversity of the two. The boat trip was especially relaxing. The quiet electric boat carried us smoothly on the water while we took in the incredibly beautiful views. Luis and co-worker, Rafael, shared insight and knowledge while delighting us with beautifully presented snacks and drinks as we cruised. The lunch on the patio at the 2nd winery was delicious and unhurried (the chef created an amazing culinary experience!) On the way back we asked about Fado music as we had plans to attend an experience but knew little about it; he generously gave us a quick lesson on the history and relevance and even shared a video of a renowned Fado singer that he liked. It was very helpful information! We had a thoroughly delightful day! [...and after we got back to our hotel and realized one of our cell phones was left in the van, Luis went out of his way to meet up and help us retrieve it...so very kind and so very much appreciated!]

Fun day trip to Douro Valley - Great experience with this day trip to Douro Valley. Our guide, José, drive us to 3 different destinations: a river cruise with little snacks and a port tonic, then an organic winery where we had a fantastic lunch, and finally a stop at a historic winery in Pinhao where we had a funny hostess who served us wines and port. Everything was friendly, professional. Highly recommend
