Book with this company! - We had a wonderful day with Henrique and the other travelers. Our trip included a coffee stop to get us going in the morning and then off to a wonderful small production Quinta. Next was a delicious lunch in the same town and then off to our second stop along the Douro River. We ended our journey with a port tasting, history of the region, and amazing views. Our guide was wonderful and so knowledgeable.

Wonderful wine tour, excellent guide. - We had the most fantastic day with Helio our guide.
A lovely guy with so much knowledge of the regions wines and history.
Beautiful scenery along the way as well as witnessing a very big cycle race. This delayed us a little for which we were more than compensated for ( thank you) Great wine, delicious food and excellent company. We would highly recommend Helio.

Great tour for wine lovers! - I was traveling alone and the tour guide, Luiz, made sure I was well taken care of. This was my first time visiting the Douro and I am in the wine industry and was impressed with the quality of the vineyards, all small producers, that the tour brought us to. It was a well thought out itinerary for both experts and newcomers to wine. Everyone learned something! The lunch was hearty featuring local cuisine. I can’t say enough wonderful words about our guide, Luiz. We were a lively group even if I was a stranger among them and he was patient and seemed to enjoy the company of everyone.

A fabulous tour! - What an amazing day! Our guide, Hélio, was fantastic. From pickup to drop off, everything went smoothly and was very well organized. The wineries were fantastic, as was the traditional Portuguese lunch. There was plenty of time for pictures, and it was nice being with a small group of people. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the Douro Valley wine scene.

Great intro to Douro Valley - Excellent entry level tour to learn about the Douro Valley and its wines. Tiago was a great guide and he offered a lot of local hints. Best part was left at the end: visit to the family-owned Quinta do Cume vineyard. All in all - a highly recommended experience!

Good wine tour - Interesting information about the Douro valley and winemaking from our guide and driver Helio. Good vineyards visited with generous tastings and knowledgeable staff at the wineries. Included lunch was generous and tasty. One of the best trips we had during our time in Portugal

Wine Tour done right! - Amazing experience! One I will do over and over again! Diana was our tour guide- she picked us up in Porto- and provided us history and information until she dropped us off. We visited three Quintas and had an authentic Portuguese meal. It was by far my favorite activity while in Portugal.

Great Tourguide Hélio! - One of the most beautiful days in Porto! The organization of the day was great: we were picked up in the morning and during the ride we already learned about the history and details of the region. The whole day we were on our own and were very warmly welcomed everywhere! We looked at three wineries, which were all different and where we could learn a lot about wine. We had lunch in a simple but very very tasty restaurant! Hélio accompanied us all day and explained many interesting things about the history and about the wineries. He was aware of our needs and responded to everything! He is a very nice and caring person and gave his personal touch to the day. We felt really comfortable! Thanks for everything Hélio and team and we recommend it 100%!
