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!!!”

She checked my App to confirm I didn’t use the ticket in the morning and once satisfied she immediately offered the next boat trip at no extra cost. I think this is great service and was very much appreciated.”

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.”

Explore Portugal’s Douro Valley from Porto with two winery visits, Port tastings, a river cruise, local lunch, and a small group of eight.

“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.”
