We really enjoyed this tour of port wine cellar and walking in Ribeira and wine bar. Our guide Erica was very friendly and informative of the history of the area. She was waiting on us at the Meeting point which was easy to find. Tour of port wine cellar very interesting and very generous samples of port! Then we walked along Ribeira area and final stop was at a wine bar with more samples. A good tour and tour guide. .
Erica was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable on the local Porto history and the wine and port making process. We had a small hiccup with the wine tasting venue shop being closed but Erica quickly overcome that by finding a new venue very quickly.
Carlos (Charlie Rabbit) is knowledgeable and chatty about all things to do with Porto. He is a fantastically enthusiastic ambassador for the city, it's peoples, history and products.
This tour was cancelled and I was not messaged back or refunded my money. No one got back to me so I think it was a scam. They messaged me to say they were sorry they couldn’t take us on the tour and never said anything else. They took 135€ from my account for me and 2 friends. I still did not get an answer or a refund
We had a great time with Carlos, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The port and wine tastings were good. However, we were expecting more than one fish croquette in terms of tapas to taste. The description of the tour is misleading.
Giving five stars because Carlos was very personable and knowledgeable. The tour itself was only two stops, and probably should’ve either been less expensive or included another stop.
Cris was punctual (early actually!) polite, friendly and good humoured. The tour was really interesting, very clear and Chris was very knowledgeable. The history of the wines and the tasting was good - the only disappointment was the tapas. Where it said ‘a variety of tapas’ we only got one, which was disappointing. Other than this it was great and we would recommend Chris as a guide without hesitation. Thank you.
The Guide was WONDERFUL and the Port tasting was delicious. Calling the tour a Wine Tasting with Tapas Walking Tour, however. is very misleading. The tapas was a roll with olive oil. We were informed if we wanted anything else from the tapas menu the cost of the items would be added to our bill! This tour did NOT include tapas!
Erica was a fantastic tour guide. She was very sweet, knowledgeable, and accommodating. There was quite a bit of walking on this tour. Since the meeting point was in Porto, the group expected that would be where the tour started. It actually started in Gaia. This was only a concern because we had someone in our group with mobility issues. Erica did not bat an eye and offered right away to call an Uber for her. The first place we visited was absolutely amazing and the wine was fantastic. We feel very fortunate to go there as it was probably not something we would have found on our own. The other place was great also with a much different vibe and experience. The tour is almost all wine with one tapas choice which was very good but participants should not expect to have the tour be their evening meal. I would recommend this tour. The wine experience was fantastic and the tour guide was great. I think we maybe just expected more tapas.
Erica was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She took us to a small port cellar that we never would have found d on our own. We had an interesting tour and tasting. Then we went to a wine bar fo a wine . She recommended s great restaurant for dinner, and wevall loved our meals. Thanks!
