Bernardo was a great tour guide! Definitely recommend for anyone doing a vineyard tour in the Douro valley

What an incredible experience. My friends and I loved every minute of it. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! I would definitely recommend!
Great tour!! Lacerta was excellent, very funny, accommodating, and very knowledgeable
We had a great day visiting the beautiful Duoro valley. Lunch at the first vineyard was delicious and both wine tastings were good. Our guide Bernardo was knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous time with Ana Alves in the Duoro valley. Anna was kind, polite, professional and informative. She took us to very nice estates: the wine, the cruise, the food…everything was perfect! Thank you Ana!
We had such an amazing day in the Douro Valley. Our tour guide Paulo did a fantastic job. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything Portugal.
Luis was an excellent tour guide to the Douro wineries. Very informative and unrushed tour.
The highlight of our trip to Portugal! Ana was early to pick us up, engaging, friendly and made the trip better than we expected, she made this feel like a trip with a friend instead of just a job to her. The cost covers lunch, a river tour, a stop in a quaint town and two wineries, the price is well worth it. Regardless of if you’re a wine lover or not this tour is worth it just for the views and if you love wine come try Portuguese wine as a California wine lover Ana made me want to start looking for Portuguese wines on the wine list moving forward.
Bernardo was our guide for the full-day private tour and was awesome! Pick up was very smooth, and he was extremely informational during the entire tour. Both vineyards we visited were fantastic, and the lunch was delicious! I’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Porto.
We have just had an amazing wine tour hosted by Bernardo as our guide. Highly recommend it. Thanks you so much Bernardo.
guide was great and comportable. nice trip!
Paolo was awesome! We enjoyed our tour and all the amazing local recommendations he gave us! Beautiful drive through the valley!
Felipe is the best, most intelligent, charismatic driver I've ever had. That's my boy. Plus he's a harry potter fan. The best. He made sure we were at a full stop for the photo.
This was a wonderful day !! We were picked up at our hotel and our guide Alexandra was wonderful. The wineries were both very nice and the lunch that was included at the first winery was delicious. We enjoyed the scenery and both wineries and the boat ride was beautiful.
Excellent tour with a great guide. The wineries were great and the lunch was tasty. Would definitely recommend.
What a perfect day!!! Each stop with the beautiful wineries and breathtaking scenery! A Nossa! To Us! Our tour guide Ana was warm and so informative and took care of us! Our friend group kept saying “how lucky are we”!!!
Oh my goodness! 5 stars is not enough stars for this trip! The wineries were amazing and the boat trip was lovely but our tour guide Ana was the best! You must book this trip!
Bernardo was by far the best tour guide i have ever had. He made this experience absolutely seamless and enjoyable. His down to earth and genuine personality put everyone at ease and his knowledge of the history of the area and his approach to sharing it made the trip so enjoyable. His driving was excellent and I felt like I had one of the best adventures possible. I highly, highly recommend this particular tour company and especially Bernardo.
Bernardo was a fantastic guide. The food was excellent and the wine was fantastic as well. The whole drive was very scenic! Pickup from our hotel was super easy and it was a small group (8 people).
Luis was great! He did a fantastic job explaining everything to us. The places we visited were very enjoyable. It was an absolute pleasure having him for our guide. If we come back we will request him

What a truly special day in the beautiful Douro Valley! Mario was fantastic — warm, funny and incredibly knowledgeable, with a genuine passion for Portugal. He took us to breathtaking lookouts and a beautiful winery, followed by a delicious traditional lunch at Quinta. This became one of the highlights of our family trip — stunning scenery, plenty of laughs, great wine and precious time together. Mario felt more like a friend showing us a part of his country he loves than simply our guide. Thank you, Mario, for the laughs, stories and wonderful memories our family will treasure. We couldn’t recommend this tour more highly!
Our group of 4 really enjoyed our day. Rui L was the best and we really enjoyed our tasting at Quinta dos Castel Ares.
We had a wonderful day with Luis as our guide. He picked us up on time and was knowledgeable, courteous, and very informative.
I must say it has been the best tour I've done. Paulo Coutinho was our tour guide and the man is knowledgeable and very happy to share it. His energy was warm and positive. I highly recommend it.

Carlos was our guide today and can’t think him enough for a brilliant day. Both vineyards we visited were beautiful and the hosts there too were brilliant. The boat tour was amazing and no photos do the views justice. Also can’t get over the value for money for our whole day out. Couldn’t recommend enough!
