Our tour guide Francesco was very nice. We particularly enjoyed visiting the town of Amarante. The free time there (1/2 hour) could have been a little longer. The visit to the winery was very interesting and informative. But the trip on the Douro really disappointed us. The boat was way too big and overcrowded. You sat tightly packed on chairs in a mostly closed ship and the temperature was around 30 degrees. In this form we would have preferred to do without it. It would certainly have been nice on a smaller, open ship. Visiting another small town would also be desirable (indicated as such in the description).

A very well organized day trip from Porto. Meeting point very easy to access and simple to find. A reasonably sized and comfortable coach. Time to enjoy the different places visited. Our guide Sofia was very friendly and attentive to our needs. A meal for noon was planned in the program, very copious and delicious. If you have little time in the region (on a weekend for example), I really suggest this getaway which allows you to immerse yourself in the Portuguese wine spirit and its famous port wine.

I'm not used to group outings, but I don't regret this one. The driver, Jorge, who was also the guide was perfect: driving the vehicle, communication during the trip despite the fact that a young Brazilian couple had been joined to our group of 6 French people (so everything was said in both languages) , answer to all kinds of questions, benevolence, etc... A big thank you to him. The landscapes and the view from "the mirador" are exceptional. The guided tour of the estate and the tasting were very interesting. Only downside, the boat trip on the Douro does not bring anything extraordinary... In good weather conditions as it was, I highly recommend.
