Région de la Vallée du Douro

"My experience with João was one that I will never forget. He was so extremely charismatic, laid-back and knowledgeable. I immediately felt as ease when he picked us up right outside of our hotel. His English is perfect and he is a great conversationalist. The trip itself was magnificent. I am so so glad I found this experience. João picked us up and we went to the Mateus palace. I learned so much just from talking with João. He went with us to do everything all day. From the private tour, to a great home cooked meal (that was one of the best meals of my life), to Port tasting in the Douro Valley, to going out on the river — João with us and made sure we were having a great time. It would not have been the same without him there! He was such a pleasure to be around. He brought us port and homemade custard pasteries that his family made. And was talk photos of me and my dad the entire time!! I had such a great time the entire day and I felt so taken care of and at ease. Every single penny was well worth it. I will never forget this day. And it was unforgettably amazing in a large part due to Joao. Thank you for everything. I cannot wait to return and have another tour! I cannot recommend this company and João enough!!!"

"We had an excellent day on this tour. We were picked up early from our hotel in a comfortable mini van. We were taken out to the Douro valley stopping to look at some spectacular views. Throughout the journey the tour guide explained the countryside, the environmental conditions that suit wine making, the history of the area and of the development of port wine. We visited 2 wineries, one larger one that supports one of the large Port makers in Porto, the other a smaller private family run winery that produces wine, olive oil and honey. We had lunch in a local restaurant. We had an hours cruise on the river, in a traditional wooden boat, used in the past to transport the wine down the river to Porto. An excellent day altogether. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this tour."

"An amazing tour with great guide. We visited two wineries and learned all about the process that goes into making a great Porto wine. The day ended with a relaxing cruise up the Duoro river."

"Os dois jovens motoristas foram extremamente gentis e didáticos durante todo passeio.As quintas visitadas foram muito interessantes. Às vezes os brasileiros não confiam muito em adquirir passeios antes da viagem, mas esta empresa se revelou extremamente confiável Se voltarmos para a Europa, sem dúvida utilizaremos novamente seus serviços,."
