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.”

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…”

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!”
