Great tour with beautiful sites
I really enjoyed this tour. I was in Porto for a few days and decided to take a day trip. The meeting place was close to my hotel and easy to find. The drive was not far so we did not spend a ton of time in the car. Our guide was great and very personable sharing enough information, but not too much. The castle was beautiful and the church was stunning. There was a medieval festival going on at the time so that was pretty cool. We had a little time to ourselves at each of the stopping points. Lunch was traditional Portuguese food. It was very good and plenty of food. I would recommend the tour.

A Wonderful Half-Day Wine Experience
A fun and enjoyable half-day tour. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. The wine tastings were excellent, and the explanations were informative and engaging. David, our driver and guide, was friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the experience. Highly recommended.

Fabulous experience. Our guide, Jose, was both warm and knowledgeable. We all particularly loved the small boutique family winery, charming with quality wine and port. A beautiful day all round.
