So nice! Excellent value. Knowledgeable staff. We had so much fun tasting all the ports and meeting new friends. Our your guide Rafaela was so much fun and knowledgeable. She loved talking to us and answering our questions. (However annoying they were lol) Sergio at the Fonesca winery was amazing and obviously so studious. Definitely recommend if you want to spend the afternoon having a few drinks and enjoying your port.
What better way to spend an afternoon in Porto than discovering great Port wines and making new friends along the way! We’re delighted you had so much fun on our small-group Port wine tour in Vila Nova de Gaia. Rafaela will love hearing that her knowledge, enthusiasm and willingness to answer all your questions made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s also great to hear you enjoyed the different Port wine tastings and the experience at Fonseca. Combining the history of Port wine, visits to traditional cellars and plenty of tastings is exactly what this tour is all about. Thank you for highlighting the excellent value and for recommending EFun Tours. We hope to raise another glass with you next time you’re in Porto! 🍷🇵🇹
Tour last for roughly 3 hrs and visits 3 cellars in the Vila Nova de Gaia area of Porto Plenty of generous servings for the Port tastings. Small group makes it a better experience. Tour guide was pretty good, i can't remember her name.

Verry nice and competent guide. 22 persons is not a small group! Apart from us and an other couple, it was a big group: they came about 15 minutes to late (14:45), they didn’t apologise, were very loud.
Thank you very much for your feedback and for your kind words about our guide. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed that part of the experience. We would just like to clarify one point: there were 20 participants on this tour, which is also the maximum group size stated in our booking conditions. We are sorry that the delayed arrival of some participants affected your experience. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and will continue to do our best to ensure all our tours run as smoothly as possible.
Like all of Porto this tour is both up hill and down. The Port houses are not the big ones and therefore really interesting to see how the small producers work. Very good but do have a good lunch before.
Hello Susan! Thank you so much for your review, it means a lot to us! The Port Wine Tour is a really special opportunity to get to know the city of Vila Nova de Gaia with some great selected wines that we are very proud to share with you! We hope to see you soon for the next adventure!
Very good experience with very, very good value for money. You have to walk a bit through narrow streets with no space for pedestrians, but it is not complicated. In my case, I must also thank that, being an atypical day, they only had my reservation and still, the tour was conducted. Super reliable and highly recommended.
Hola, ¡Muchas gracias por tu reseña! ¡Nos alegra mucho que hayas elegido este tour! De hecho, pasear por la preciosa ciudad de Gaia mientras se degustan unos vinos increíbles es una experiencia única. ¡Esperamos verte pronto
Great walking tour with a well informed English speaking guide. The tastings were great too… Best advice is to eat well before you set off!
