Beautiful day. - Excellent guide. Melina made the day fun and informative. Lunch and tastings were great. Beautiful scenery. M &D Canada.

Great Douro Valkey wine tour - Our tour guide, Igor, was fabulous—experienced, knowledgeable, kind and with a great sense of humour. Great introduction to the Douro valley and its wine.

Great day out - It was a very rainy day but they split the group up so we had a tour on a smaller boat under cover which was nicer than being on a big group. Milena, the tour guide was friendly and made the trip fun. The food was homely and authentically Portuguese and the wine glass did not stopped getting filled during the lunch. Worth doing, even in the pouring rain the Douro valley is beautiful and the guides at the quintas were very knowledgeable.

Don’t miss this wine tour! - Igor & his driver Ribirto were both fantastic! It was fun, the group from many different countries were full of life, and the driver made us all feel safe during the entire trip! Highly recommend. It’s all day (~9 hours) but very well worth 100 euro.

Beautiful and long day in the Douro Valley from Porto - What an excellent and very full day! We met our guide, Ivo, at the meeting point close to our hotel. Initially it was a bit difficult to find him. Maybe a red lanyard would make it easier. What a day we had in store! The tour had only 18 or so participants, so we had a mini bus. Well worth just a few dollars more than the larger group tour. Ivo has a delightful sense of humor and made the trip an absolute blast. He explained some of importance of the schist rock to the terracing on the hills, the flavors in the grapes, and actually the protection of the plants from the harsh environment. We concluded that Schist Happens! We made one stop for restrooms and refreshments at a small town and Ivo said they might overcharge us, so ask for prices before we pay. Ivo told us the lunch choices so he could call it into the winery where we would eat. I wanted to taste the tomato rice although it wasn't part of the vegetarian lunch, and Ivo said it could be arranged. We stopped for a tasting and lunch at a very beautiful vineyard called Santa Julia in Douro Valley. Very picturesque. The food was good - note that we were seated with a large group from the same tour operator, so there were a lot of people in the dining hall. There was a river boat ride on a private boat, very relaxing. We hit a second vineyard and learned more about the making of Port wines, very interesting. And tastings there as well. After that, we were on our way back to Porto. It was a full day and got back around 6:45pm. Thanks to the great staff and wineries. We had a wonderful time.

Really great day if you want to do something a bit different in Albufeira! - The boat trip itself was a great way to relax, as the staff gave info on the local sights. The barbecue was excellent - really good and plentiful food, free-flowing drinks and the crew were great fun. Thoroughly recommend.

A must see, 5 star tour ! Hopefully Igor will be your guide!! - Our bus driver, José and our tour guide on the bus, Igor were absolutely fantastic! So very knowledgeable, kind, funny and charming! They not only drove us to and through the gorgeous Douro Valley to meet the boat tour and tour the 2 wineries , they went above and beyond explaining the history of Portugal. Truly wonderful men! My only comment is that there was only 1 bathroom to accommodate 2 groups of guests making long line ups . Perhaps even portable bathrooms could/should be available?

A MUST DO while in Porto - This trip is worth more than 5 stars! Let’s start with our guide Milena— she was terrific and provided a wonderful FULL DAY trip. She’s very knowlegeable about all thing Duoro Vslley. Ask for her! Next, Luis the bus driver- wow! He does not have an easy job with steep hills curves and narrow passageways- but he’s a champ. Most important - THE BEAUTIFUL DUORO VALLEY- THE PORT TASTING - THE LUNCH AND WINE TASTING -THE TERRACED VINEYARDS -THE VIEWS-THE RIVER. DO NOT MISS this tour! One of our favorites of our 10 day Spain/Portugal trip ! Thanks Milena

Very good trip - winery and wine shop with great river cruise - Had an incredible day! Good weather made the day even better. Forgot the name of our tour guide but she was great - knowledgeable, fun, energetic and a good communicator. Highlights of the trip: - winery tour and tasting - beautiful location and great, great tasting wine - Douro River cruise was lovely. 1 hour is plenty and there were plenty of seats - morning coffee break was timed well and gave us a chance to souvenir shop Other parts - lunch was OK. Nothing special. Would’ve been nice to be at a restaurant with a view or better food - second wine tasting was also just OK. It was a tight space and not a winery but more of a wine shop. Would’ve preferred a second winery or more of a focus on olive oil - wished we would’ve left sooner and gotten home sooner so it wasn’t such a long day All in all a great time.

Well Organized Douro Valley Tour - Our guide, Igor, was knowledgeable about Portuguese history, enthusiastic about the wine tours and considerate of the tour participants. Enough time was allocated at each site so adequate explanations could be given. The driver was very competent.
