Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide. The cancelled boat tour due to the weather was perfectly compensated with extra wine. Overall, it was a wonderful way to conclude our trip in Porto.”

“Cannot say enough about Bernardo and this tour! The weather was not cooperative, so we weren’t able to do the boat portion, but honestly it didn’t matter it was so great ( and they added another winery to make up for it!). We learned so much about wine and how to drink it. It was really quite informative. The day ended with an amazing dinner and great conversation. I can’t say enough about Betnardo-he was very informative and really gave us a view into the non tourist life in Portugal. Everyone we came into contact with that day were very kind and welcoming. Our favorite part of our trip to…”

“The trip was fantastic! The music, drinks, atmosphere, and overall sense of safety made it a wonderful experience—we truly had an amazing time with friends. The only downside for me was that we departed from the boat at 1:45 AM, which felt quite late, and there was no guide to explain anything about the excursion. Not a single word. A lady simply led us to the boat, and from that moment on we were on our own, with no further information provided.”

“My daughter and I had a great time! The caves were beautiful and the scenery along the coastline was great. My only issue was that there were two guides onboard and we couldn’t hear our guide, who was speaking in English as the other guide, who was speaking in French, was too loud. Perhaps headsets would be a better alternative if there are people of two different languages aboard. Other than that, the scenery was wonderful!”
