Phenomenal day in the Douro Valley

Our day was fabulous! Phillip our guide was phenomenal. His knowledge of the Wine and of the Douro Valley was exceptional, and he made the day entertaining and fun! The Douro Valley itself is absolutely stunning. Anywhere you pointed your camera was a stunning vista. Lunch was delicious, the wine was very good, and we learned a lot! We also sampled honey and olive oil. The boat tour was delightful as it was a gorgeous day. Highly recommend!

A Well Worth Trip To Take

This tour is a must do experience, to sample the exquisite ports and wines in the Douro valley, as well as see the beautiful landscape. The guides are fun, knowledgeable and provide great bits of information that make the tours so enjoyable. The Quintas visited are superb, the meal is fabulous (vegetarian catered for exceptionally) and the boat trip is an excellent opportunity to get to know the others on your van. All in all a great day out! Thank you Andriea and Jose!
