Review of Porto’s Douro Valley day tour with river cruise, wine tastings, traditional lunch, scenic drives, and practical booking tips.
“Our day tour was fantastic! Our guide, “Jesus,” was incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide. The cancelled boat tour due to the weather was perfectly compensated with extra wine. Overall, it was a wonderful way to conclude our trip in Porto.”

“Cannot say enough about Bernardo and this tour! The weather was not cooperative, so we weren’t able to do the boat portion, but honestly it didn’t matter it was so great ( and they added another winery to make up for it!). We learned so much about wine and how to drink it. It was really quite informative. The day ended with an amazing dinner and great conversation. I can’t say enough about Betnardo-he was very informative and really gave us a view into the non tourist life in Portugal. Everyone we came into contact with that day were very kind and welcoming. Our favorite part of our trip to…”

“Our family’s first trip to Lisbon; this was the ideal introduction to the city. In four hours the tour provided an overview of Lisbon sights and neighborhoods we could not have achieved on our own in a week. Henrique, our guide, possessed impressively deep and broad knowledge of Lisbon’s (and Portugal’s) people, history, and architecture. He was able to provide details and context that made the tour all the more interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.”

Review of Albufeira’s Benagil Caves and dolphin speedboat tour, including stops, guides, swimming, value, sea conditions, and practical tips.
“I had a great morning on the sea caves and dolphins excursion, and I was lucky enough to see dolphins almost straight away! We had Ruben as our captain and Ana was our guide; and what an exceptional team they made. Ruben made sure to take us where the dolphins had been spotted and then kept a good distance as to not scare them. Ana was simply amazing, she spoke in both English and French and was incredibly knowledgable. I’d recommend this trip to everyone, even without the dolphins the views are stunning!”

“The meeting point was just across the road from the Sao Bento metro which was a bonus. Checked in and waited outside. We thought the tuk tuk would come to us but we had to walk a little way to get it. The vehicle was clean and seated us comfortably and we could not believe the speed they went. Our driver Joao (John) was really lovely. He was witty too which made for a fun trip. He was informative as expected, answered any questions that we may have had and discussed the local delicacies such as Bacalhau a salted cod dish, Pastel de Nata a custard tart and Francesinha a…”
