I usually don't take time to write reviews but trust me, that experience worths every words although there are no words to describe the time that I had. It was a total experience getting toured by Maria and Pavlo. Maria is an EXCELLENT tour guide. She was so friendly, her energy was so positive and I really like her self-mockery. Don't just consider taking that tour, just do it! It was trully an experience! Till the next time and till the next tour!

Everything arranged down to the last detail. Marina was the guide and Paolo the driver. Both nice people and Marina knows how to chat the day together. There was a well cared for and extensive lunch with plenty of wine/port and water. All in all a good and fun day.

One of the best tours I’ve taken. The scenery in the Douro Valley was stunning, the wineries were beautiful and we had lots of fun tasting the wines. The tour guide was great. Unfortunately, I can’t remember her name. Bonus for the first stop to get coffee and pastries. The little town was incredible and scenic. Highly recommend tour.
