Private Porto Half Day Tour: Port Wine Cellars and Cheese Tasting

Posted By : Lisa D
My mom and I went on this tour and it turned out to be just the two of us that day so it turned into a nice little private tour! Guillerme was courteous, professional and funny and showed us places we could never see as a tourist or on one of the larger buses.
The wine and cheese tasting was fabulous as well! Lots of education on Port wines, capped off with purchasing a couple to take home. Delicious!
All in all, I highly recommend the tour. Just enough to see Porto, taste some wine and still have the day left over to explore. Thanks so much!

This tour is just great! We got picked up on time in a nice Mercedes Benz mini van. The drive was comfortable, with some fast paced drivning. Guillierme is a good driver, he knows how to get around in the sometimes chaotic traffic in porto. The first quinta was beautiful and secluded. Here we got some audioguides while we walked among the vines for about half an hour. After the walk we had a tasting of a White, Ruby and tawny port. Then off to the boat ride in pinhao. The boatride was relaxing and breathtakingly beautiful. After that it was time for lunch at a great local place. The last part of the trip was the best, on top of the vally we visited a small quinta - quinta do jalloto. From there you get the most amazing view! Plus you get to taste some great wine! We were guided by André, a nice guy with a lot of knowledge. They also produce honney and oliveoil, this was included in our tasting.
All in all a great day with a good guide. My only regret is that I forgot to give a tip.. I hope this review can make up just a little for that.
This was our best expirience in Portugal. Thank you!
