Great experience to visit the Douro as a couple or family. - Highly recommended visit for those looking for something different than visits and commercial tastings. Very personalized attention always focused on providing the best experience of the Douro and the family wine houses.

Amazing experience in the Douro Valley - Our private day trip to the Douro Valley was amazing and so well worth it. Marcio was our guide, and he was so kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. You can tell that it was very important to him that we had an incredible time—and we did. We stopped at a small town on the way there and were treated to meats, cheese, bread, and wine! He also bought us sweets and went out of his way to get my 4-year-old son some chocolate. The drive out to the vineyards was breathtaking. We stopped at two intimate wineries with great wine and beautiful settings. He took us to a small town for a traditional lunch that was delicious and plentiful. We also stopped at a few other spots for photo ops. Marcio was personable and great with my son. Don’t hesitate—book it!

Wonderful Douro Valley tour - Our private tour with Marcio was excellent. The car was comfortable and the pace of the journey between locations was just right. It was a fantastic way to enjoy the Duoro Valley which was stunning in late October.

Unforgettable Day in Douro Valley - We did a private Douro Valley wine tour and it was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had. Our guide and driver, Marcio, was incredible. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and just made the whole day feel easy and fun. The tour itself was beautiful and well put together, and they totally nailed it when it came to our dietary needs, which we really appreciated. Would 100% book this again and wouldn’t think twice about requesting Marcio. He made the day unforgettable.

Must book this trip when in Porto - We booked this trip based on the reviews in trip advisor. If you are in Porto looking for a tour of the Duro valley you cannot go wrong booking this one. Marcio our guide handled our trip in the most professional and caring manner from the time he picked us from our hotel until he dropped us back. He is very knowledgeable about his business and his wine and wineries. Both me and my wife had a great and memorable time in the wine tasting and the great views of the Duro valley. Marcio made reservation to have lunch at the village where the explorer Magellan was born. Another picturesque place and the local cuisine was great.

Great wine tasting in the Druro Valley - Massimo organized a great itinerary for us. From green wine tasting in the morning, two winery tasting visits, to a fantastic authentic Portuguese lunch, it was a great experience. Our only suggestion is the vehicle used for the 8 hour tour was a bit cramped for 4 guests ( it would be perfect for 2 or 3). A van with 2 guest seating rows would be more comfortable.
