We highly recommend this tour! Very informative, easy going, but without repetition at each cellar. Our tour guide Márcio could not have been better! He took us to 3 different wine cellars, with quite a different selection of port wines, and he even managed a surprise for my husband's birthday!

An excellent experience with just the right amount of information for amateur port lovers! The starting location was easy to find and our guide, Steve, was knowledgeable and lovely. We tried a lot of port during the tour, which worked out to be great value for money. This port crawl is a must for anyone visiting Porto!

The meeting place was very easy to find and our guide was punctual. The group was of mixed nationalities but all were English speaking and very friendly. The walking was easy and the Port Houses that we stopped in were very welcoming. The tastings were well organised and the hosts wee knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
