This trip was the highlight of our Porto trip!!. Both guides were just easy going , friendly , fabulous and knowledgeable. What makes it fabulous is that is a It’s a small boat with a small group. We had only people on the boat which made the trip intimate, friendly and informal. The Port we tasted was an additional pleasure. Absolute highlight and would definitely recommend this trip. Absolutely nothing bad to say about it. Thanks guides and thanks to the awesome travellers who were also on this trip. Loved it.
