We had such a great day with Fransisco and Pedro, they were so knowledgeable and friendly hosts. The bus left right on time, and the whole day ran smoothly. We learned about Port from a local guide, and toured the Port wine production house, stopped at a beautiful lookout and took the boat up and down the douro river! We would highly recommend!
I did the half day tour and absolutely loved it. The winery was great, the river tour was so beautiful, and the lookout gave the most stunning views over the valley. The group size was good, not too big. Shout out to Francisco and Pedro for guiding us around!
