A well organised day tour with a vibrant, knowledgeable and friendly guide named Sara. Our bus driver was very good too. The two stops at the wineries were set in beautiful locations. We learnt a lot about the making of port and the different varieties. The lunch which was served was both generous and delicious.

Tour was good. Not to long bus trip to reach our first teasting. This was also where we had a very good lunch.
After lunch we headed for the boat trip but was stopped on the way by a local village procession. After waiting only 15 min. we could continue to the town of Pinhão. It felt that they shortened the boat trip because of the earlier delay.
Sara our guide was able to keep us entertained.

At the second teasting we felt it needed some cheese with the wine.

Easy and on-time pick up and drop off. Beautiful drive and got to spend time at two great vineyards trying wine and port. Our tour guide was Paolo was very nice but talked way too much. Obviously it was great to hear what he had to say about Porto and what we were seeing - but he never really stopped talking during the 10 hours we were together.

Excellent trip. Guide (Sarah) was fantastic - good blend of history, humor, and knowing when to be silent. Both vineyards were spectacular. Scenery is gorgeous. Bus driver was excellent maneuvering on the tight roads. All in all, we highly recommend this tour.

My friend and I truly enjoyed this tour. The wines were excellent and the company even better. Our tour guide Rita was good. Very witty. I felt a little rushed at Sabrosa where I would have liked to purchase the port wine. A great value
