Good way to see and learn a lot in one day without driving yourself and coordinating everything. The group was a bit too large with 28 people but that explains the good price. Do not be shy during the tours. Ask questions and be sure to speak up if you feel the winery tour guides need to speak up or speak slower.

All was good - nice ride, good visits, boat was a nice change. But the boat was a very short ride and seriously I would have thought a glass of wine on the boat during a wine tour would have been a nice touch. NOTE: this is NOT like a wine tour in the US. The wineries did not even sell the ports and moscats that they had us try. Very odd. But it was worth the money, the food was plentiful and the wine tasting was fun.

We enjoyed the lady at the first winery the most. She was knowledgeable and entertaining. We also liked the lunch and we had a fun travel group.

Beautiful scenery, delicious lunch, and interesting stories and oké és of information from our tour guide Pedro, all conveyed in an enthusiastic, funny yet polite way. It was a great day!

It was not worth the money. There were 4 couples crammed into a small van. The driver did talk but did not use the microphone so those in the back could not hear him. The couple in the front asked questions to which we also could not hear, and the driver answered but like I said, we could not hear anything. The wine tasting and tour was pretty much the same at both wineries. The lunch was just okay. The boat ride was unnecessary. not a fan.

Tiago is a great guide, always happy and talkative and trying to accommodate any desire and make you enjoy the trip. Manuel is a good driver and we felt safe.
BUT this is not a wine tour. Is a nice journey on the beautiful Douro river valley. The first(bonus) stop was a little town nothing to do with wine; the "winery" Vintage Theory - where we had (an average at best) lunch was a beautiful estate but instead of a proper visit we just had a rushed tasting of 3 tawny ports. The lady giving it was downright awful, not liking questions, no explanation of process, grapes,p types of port except a ranting against vintage ones...Then an useless 30 mins boat trip on a super packed smelly boat - no explanation no drinks nothing. Then finally a visit to a proper winery - Quinta S Luiz from Kopke- which though short was at least a visit to the winery, some explanation etc. 3 wines -one white, one red, one port. The tour takes almost 12 hours out of which max 1.5 are about wine...
