“This excursion was absolutely amazing! My husband and I traveled to Portugal for our honeymoon in late October 2025 and we had a fantastic experience on this Douro Valley tour and we're not very big into drinking wine, but we had so much fun at the tastings! Ricardo was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. He kept the day fun and lively and we felt we were in great hands with him! Our driver was also so friendly and very safe. We highly recommend booking this tour if you're ever in Porto!”

“Ivo was truly spectacular! He was a wealth of information on Portugal, from history of the Douro valley, to how wine and port are made, to current events, Portuguese culture, foods, and was such a pleasure to talk to. The sights of the valley were incredible, the small family owed wine business was gorgeous and so tasty (the olive oil was some of the best I’ve ever had!), the river cruise was relaxing, and the day was just perfect. We really enjoyed the whole trip!”
