Lovely day trip

Rachel_l

, Nov 2021

Really fun day trip from Porto. Ended up with a nice group of people which always makes a difference on a trip. Informative and friendly guide although not over the top or annoying as some can be. Lovely visits to two wineries and quite a nice lunch although I'd rather have a meal with a view/at a winery.

Perfect Day Trip from Porto

Kerrie_D

, Nov 2021

This trip out to the Duoro Valley was the perfect day trip. Evo picked me up from my hotel on time. He followed all the covid protocols throughout the day. The drive out to the valley was pleasant with Evo giving us information about what to expect and some background on the area. Our first stop was a small winery. We got a short tour of the facility with information on the win making process and then tasted three varieties of port wine. After that, we took our boat ride for glorious views of the valley. After the boat, we were taken to a view from atop one of the hills for more gorgeous views down into the valley. Our final stop was another small winery. We had a very nice lunch (choice of pork, fish or pasta) on the patio with table wine from the winery. It was a nice paced lunch with great conversation with our group. After lunch, we moved to the tasting room with a very enthusiastic lesson on the proper way to taste vintage port. It was enlightening and a lot of fun! Evo then dropped our group of at each respective hotel. I highly recommend this trip!!

If you like port wine, this trip is for you.

Nicolette_R

, Oct 2021

The winery tours were fun, but they were basically the same tour. All the tastings are port, which I did not realize prior to booking the trip. If you like port this is for you, otherwise, you may be a bit disappointed with the tastings. The boat ride at the end of the day was a bigger cruise and seemed a bit random - you just go up the river for 30 minutes and turn around. Ivo was a nice and knowledgable host and we had an awesome group to travel with for the day.

Wonderful experience and great guide

Anastasia_R

, Oct 2021

What a great experience! We had Milena as our guide and Andre as our driver and they were both wonderful. Milena was a great guide. She was fun, kind, funny and informative. She gave a great tour explaining everything along the way and made it fun with some humor which was always appreciated. We went to two wineries and they were wonderful to see smaller ones and support them. Lunch was amazing and the River tour was great to see the valley from that angle. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend!

The tour guide, Ivo, came to pick us up very punctual after confirming the day prior. His expertise in the matter and his work and his good sense of humor and friendliness made the 1.5hr ride pass by unnoticed. He explained many things along the way about the different areas we passed by, his driving was exceptional and made us feel very safe at all times. The places we visited were incredible, the views were amazing. The explanation of the Porto wine making process was really satisfactory. For lunch they took us to a very nice place with delicious food and outstanding service. It was a very good experience and highly recommended to those who want to spend a day away from the city and learning about the region.
