“The drive into Douro had a bit more traffic than expected in Porto which put us about 30 minutes behind but our driver did all he could without driving aggressively. He was very knowledgeable about the entire area. The boat ride was one of the most unique views of any trip. The grape leaves changing fall colors were absolutely stunning, along with the history of the area. There was more port and food than could be eatten! The drive in to Douro was also a bit mountainous bit the drive back pretty straight shot.”

“Great trip and a fantastic way to see the Duoro valley and taste port and wines. The group started off quiet and Ricardo brought a lot of energy in his delivery of information and getting everyone involved. At the end of the day everyone was socialising and having fun. Our bus driver did a fantastic job with navigating tight streets and road twists and turns. Bus struggled a bit with hills at the end of the day, but got us there.”

Our driver was amazing (I think his name is Marcelle) and Ricardo our tour guide was amazing and funny. The food was pretty good, but the vegetarian option wasn’t that great. Overall wonderful experience and will be recommending this to everyone who visits Portugal!”
