Maria (guide) was amazing! She was so energetic and fun. She gave us great insights into what we saw along the way to the Duoro Valley. Her two trainees (Diogo and Rui) were fun to talk with too. They will be great with their future tours. Jose (bus driver) got us there safe and sound and was great at navigating the area. Definitely recommend this trip! You get a lot out of it- 2 tastings, lunch, and a boat ride. The boat ride felt short, but we were able to see the beauty of the valley on the Duoro River.

This was fantastic! Our expectations were exceeded. We were a family of 3 including an 8 year old. The wineries we visited was amazing. There were several stops along the way to allow you to stretch your legs and really see the Duoro Valley. I couldn't recommend this more. The bus was comfortable, the guide knowledgeable, and the things we did and saw were well worth the price. The lunch was so much food and delicious. Go!
