Before the show, the woman was in the show and she made us feel so comfortable until the show starts. (plz forgive me that I couldn't get your name) Duration of the show was 1 HOUR, guitarists and the singer showed their passions. KUDOS to RICARDO, DIOGO and CARLA. They are amazing !!!! Especially I was so impressed by RICARDO, he explained about background and history of FADO. Ótimo!!!”

Spend a full day in the Douro Valley with two wine estates, six tastings, a vineyard lunch, Amarante, and a scenic river cruise.

“Our guide Slimmy was fantastic. He took time to know our names, made a playlist of each member’s favourite song, was very informative yet not too much info overload. The first winery was impressive— all the wines were good; Mahmood from Bangladesh was excellent and very entertaining and knowledgeable whereas the Croft guide was blah and rather dismissive. Slimmy was super friendly and took photos for us at the Vale do Mendis. The river cruise was not exciting.”
