Rocking wine tour - Had a great time on the wine tour and cruise. Wine and port were tasty and the route for the cruise is attractive. Our tour guide Slimmy was a nice guy and funny. It was a rare opportunity to be guided by a former professional rock star! Jonas was a great driver.

Loved every minute! - Luis Neves was the most perfect guide!! We had a private tour with a large group of 8. Picked us up promptly and gave us history leading to each event so we had the best experience. Drove very safe and was very communicative on where to find him after each excursion. Made what I thought would be a long day go by very quickly. Recommend taking these tours especially with Luis N!

Tour douro - Very beautiful area, with friendly guides, listening, in love with their countries. Tasting of good Port, and wines in charming, welcoming estates. Very good and worked meal, however far from the so-called "Portuguese" portions, for heavy eaters. I recommend

Disappointing guide! - The tours themselves were very interesting, but the guide (Antonio) was not very interested in giving us information. Yet we came a long way and he would have had time to provide us with plenty of explanations. It was limited to quick and minimal information on populations. The guides on site in both vineyards were very competent and interesting. Very good meal.
