We were very pleased with everything from pick- up at our hotel until we returned many hours later. The company was accommodating with our hotel location which didn't appear on their website as a regular location. We joined two other small groups in the van for a total of eight people. The driver/guide was wonderful. He explained the areas and answered our questions along the way. Some things not in the website: the ride along the river was not just our group, we were joined by others; the stops at the vineyards were with other people. None were problematic, however this would have been nice to know in advance. The boat ride was smooth, very enjoyable, and provided views of the stunning terraced vineyards along the valley. At the vineyard tours we were met with another group of eight from the same tour company. The tastings were lovely and informative and the food was delicious. The location of our lunch provided stunning views of the valley. We highly recommend this company and this tour.

    Paulo coutinho was the most fantastic person you could ever meet. His knowledge and passion for his country are amazing. The tour from start to finish was incredible and we learned alot about wine production. Their is nothing not to like about the tour but the two highlights was the river cruise and the lunch at the end with breathtaking views

    Our Douro Valley tour and was definitely one of our trip highlights! Our Tour Guide Daniel was great; we loved both winery experiences which were different from each other and each unique and wonderful; and the boat tour with Bruno was so much fun and so beautiful. We would highly recommend this package!
