Enjoyable Day in the Duero Valley

Alex was a knowledgeable and witty guide, he made the tour truly enjoyable. He was well liked by his fellow guides and locations that we visited. The small group of 6 was just perfect!

It’s more than just food tasting

We met our guide NuNu on time, was happy to see there was no other tourists in our group. We bounded right away. Since we just tour the Mercado do Bolhoa, we didn’t waste much time in there. But we did circle around and tried some samples. NuNu was very helpful, realized that my sister needed some items, he took us shopping on the way to next stop. The Frichies sandwich was interesting and he explained it do amusingly. The walks was delightful, he showed us some interesting site on the way. The succession tastings were just so amazing. When we need to leave to meet our family just arrived from airport, NuNu helped us is getting the best location to meet the Uber driver. We had a great time
