Highly recommended tour and guide! - The tour to Silves and Quinto da Frances vineyard was exceptional. Combining the culture of a small and beautiful town, with a gem of a cathedral and very well restored fort, with a small winery offering a very personalised experience and delicious wine. Felipe was knowledgeable, efficient and went beyond to provide us with a memorable afternoon. Thank you!

Great wine tasting and historic tour. - Our driver, Philip, did a wonderful job of explaining the region-history, agriculture, economic environment. The town of Silva was very interesting with the Moor castle and Roman ruins. The wine tasting was excellent. Great explanation of the vineyards, local grapes and the various uses of corks. Tour lasted longer than we expected, but well worth it.

Wine and storks of Portugal - Scene drive to the location, with unexpected sightings of nesting storks and their babies. Gorgeous winery with super delicious wine, at surprisingly reasonable prices at top quality! Rui was a very talkative, friendly and informative guide! We highly recommend this tour!

Super half day tour - The time spent on this trip was ideal (4 hours). Our guide Rui was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the trip and fully engaged with both of us, always quick to point out places/points of interest. The visit to the Quinta Do Frances winery was really enjoyable with particularly good wines to taste along with some tapas. Definitely recommended!

Nice experience but questionable price - Pros: Rui is a nice and fun guide. The stop in the city before the tasting is a nice idea. The winery is in a beautiful location. Cons: while the stop in the city is a nice idea the time there is too short so you have to rush it. It should either be longer or left out. The winery itself is beautiful but the wine tasting is a bit disappointing at this price point. You get tasting sipps of their three cheapest wines and a small plate of cold sausage and cheese. Have to admit this fits the description so far. However, the glasses did not get changed between wines and water wasn't offered at the table. This is just absolute tasting basics. For 130 Euro (two persons) you might be better off booking an Uber to the winery and buy their deluxe tasting. Or spend your money at some of the local wine bars. No hate against the company or anyone working their but this is an honest opinion from someone who had their fair share of tastings that were more worth of what was paid.
