Incredible experience

My boyfriend and I spent the day with Filipe and he was an absolute blast! He was full of knowledge, humor, sarcasm (all in good fun). There were 2 other very pleasant couples in our van; within the first hour of our ride, Filipe was either filling our heads with trivia or hilariously roasting us. The tone set by Filipe and being in the company of such an amiable group right off the bat made the drive to the Valley go by so fast. As far as the estates we visited, both were so charming and enjoyable in their own ways. Both estates have been run by the same family for 10-12 generations and their love for Porto wine shows everywhere. We tasted many different varieties which were all amazing. Our delicious lunch was served family style and we were joined by Filipe and, of course, some lunchtime antics. I highly recommend this tour and if you're an outgoing group, please please request Filipe!

Leisure

I'm not sure if this was the exact tour I went on but I was met by Alvaro Santos at the Chapel of Souls. The food, wine, and beer was all excellent including the Francesinha, pastel de nata, the chocolate cup with the shot of liqueur, and the flaming chorizo. The tour was supposed to be a small group, but I was the only participant, so it turned into a private tour!

Wonder, Amazing, Unforgettable

Almost at a loss for words at how good, amazing, and wonderful this tour was. Fillipe was our guide and driver. Wow- he was the best guide I've ever had for a trip of any kind. The sights were amazing, but the visits to the vineyards and wineries were unforgettable. Small family farms and wonderful hosts who shared so much about their love for their craft and let us sample some amazing wines/ports.
