The day started a little bit late because of traffic and having to pick up and drop off another couple for a different tour. Nuno our tour guide did multiple things to make it up to our group. He was great! Took us to two nice wineries, selected a great lunch option, and even made an unexpected stop at the Christ the King statue which was amazing. We had a really fun day full of history, wine, and great food. Thanks Nuno!

The wine tour was fine and Mr Nuno was took care of everything. If we had any complaints, it would only be that the van was a little old and felt dirty. However, Mr Nuno went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and pampered. We went to a great restaurant on the water for lunch and two wineries.

Sometimes guide talks a little too fast for English speakers to understand. Wine was very good. Lunch was a little iffy. Tough beef

We'll take both into consideration and continue working with our partners to improve every part of the experience. We hope to welcome you back to Portugal soon!
