Guest Reviews

We had a wonderful time yesterday, thank you so much for your help planning our trip to the Douro Valley! The picnic lunch was perfect. Our group enjoyed it so much that we decided not to go on our cruise - we didn’t want to leave the vineyard! 

Gabriel was amazing and took good care of us. 

Thank you again! 

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Herdade do Sobroso. We were made to feel very welcome, and the itinerary was excellent. The entire staff was extremely professional and helped us choose the venue that best suited our needs right from the start. We have absolutely no complaints; on the contrary, we were very satisfied with all the services provided. Thank you very much for the excellent organization!

My entire group had an outstanding time. Our guide was knowledgeable and took great care of us. 

Thank you for everything,

We enjoyed the trip very much.

Accommodation at Quinta da La Rosa was beautiful, such a scenic place to stay and the staff were wonderful and very attentive. The meal and wine included was good. I would recommend this being on the first night as the tasting and picnic day 2 is plentiful for one day. 

All wine tours and tastings were good and the picnic at Quinta da Roeda was plentiful and very tasty. The wine tasting day at Bomfim and then Roeda was a really enjoyable day in beautiful surroundings.
We actually booked a taxi so we did not have to worry about driving after doing the tasting and drinking wine with the picnic. This is the one thing I think you should add in on this day. The taxis are plentiful, accommodating and relatively cheap.

Your relationship and communication with all your partners must be strong as everyone was expecting us and everything was ready and ran smoothly.
Your communications from the beginning of our enquiry to the end of our trip has been good and clear.

Many thanks Barbara and I am sure one day we will be back to the Douro Valley.

Many thanks

Our journey was completely flawless, earning a perfect 5-star rating across every single category. From the initial planning and excellent customization of the itinerary to the top-tier hotel accommodations, service, and cultural excursions, everything was handled beautifully.

There were so many magical moments on this tour. A standout highlight was the amazing lunch we shared with the family, staff, and guests from Denmark at Quinta de Nápoles. We also absolutely loved our lunch and overall experience at Casa Viscondes da Várzea. The gastronomy and wine activities were truly special.

When asked for suggestions to improve, we can only speak to how wonderful our experience was thanks to Gonçalo. He was an extraordinary driver and guide. At just 23 years old, he is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. He is truly wise beyond his years, and we loved spending these 2 days with him! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a first-class experience in Portugal.

We are highly satisfied with everything, from the assistance during planning and conception of the itinerary, to the level of customization of the itinerary. 

Gabriel, our driver, was exeptional, very knowledgeble and professional. I would definetely request him again. There is absolutely nothing to improve upon. Everything about this journey was first-class, including the food, lodging, vehicle, and our driver. We highly recommend their services!

Our tour with Luis was absolutely phenomenal! Luis was fantastic and very educational, and was a very good driver.
 
Our highlight was definitely the lunch at the end of the tour at Quinta Nápoles. Pedro and the staff at Niepoort were so accommodating and welcoming. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. That meal is definitely one of the highlights, not just of the tour, but of our entire trip to Portugal thus far.
  
Thank you again for coordinating everything! We would definitely use you and your company again the next time we visit the region.

We enjoyed both locations of the tour. The highlight was the beauty of the region, one of the most beautiful areas I’ve ever been to. I appreciated the direction and ease of your tours. 

We had a wonderful experience throughout the tour. The lunch in the vineyard was truly amazing and definitely one of the highlights of the day.

We were very happy with the service, everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver, João, was great and contributed to a smooth and pleasant day.
 

The driver and boat tour + winery guide - all had exceptional knowledge, and were so welcoming and friendly. Food and wine were delicious.

I wanted to let you know that all the activities you arranged worked perfectly. Everywhere we went, people were expecting us and welcomed us warmly. We had the best tables at both lunches, and the wine and Port tours were excellent. The Ferreira tour and tasting, as well as the Douro River boat tour, ended up being private, which made the experience even more special.

We had a wonderful time following the itinerary you created for us. Thank you for making our trip truly memorable.

The tour was magnificent!
Our driver was exceptional, always on time, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional in every way.

Both winery visits were wonderful, each offering a unique experience. We loved the first one. Anna was fantastic, the lunch was delicious, and the property was beautiful. The second winery was also a real highlight.

Thank you for planning a wonderful and memorable trip for us. 

 

We had a wonderful trip to Portugal and truly enjoyed discovering your country. Our favorite experiences were at Quinta do Crasto and Countess Maria, both unforgettable moments in the stunning Douro Valley.

 

The entire day was fantastic! I’ll be recommending your services to our friends who are planning to visit Portugal next year. The highlight was the beautiful scenery and the fantastic picnic lunch, truly unforgettable. 
Thank you for planning a fantastic day! 
 

The tour was fantastic. The drivers were extremely professional, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The highlight was definitely the last day at Quinta de Seixo, although we thoroughly enjoyed every part of the experience.
 

I would say the highlight of our Portugal wine tour was the cruise on the beautifully restored wooden boat, taking in the stunning vineyards lining the Douro.
This experience gave us a unique perspective on the beauty of this wine-growing region. We were also blown away by the food at DOC. The creativity and skill in crafting such a wonderful meal were an absolute treat. The service was outstanding as well.
A truly memorable lunch in a very underrated and underexplored wine region of the world. We look forward to returning one day.
I would also like to thank you personally for your organization and suggestions for our trip. Absolutely brilliant!

While we loved everything, including the amazing meals, if we had to pick just one highlight, then it would be the lunch with the Contessa! Gabriel was a wonderful driver, and we could not have asked for more.

 

It was wonderful. Thanks so much. Both Diogo and Gabriel were great, safe drivers and full of information about the trip. All the bookings were professional, and they were expecting us and well prepared. The room at Quinta de la Rosa was gorgeous, and we really enjoyed the delicious and relaxing picnic after the tour and tasting by Marta at Bomfim, and the boat ride was fun. All the wines were good. We enjoyed the lunch and tour at Quinta Norvales with Pedro. He was patient and answered all our questions. The tour of the winery at Quinta do Crasto with Sue and lunch was magnificent. We were blessed with perfect weather, too. Thanks so much. I will highly recommend your company. Very professional and we felt well looked after. We have only met lovely, kind, and friendly people in Portugal.

We will be back!

Thanks for all your hard work, easy communications and efficient service.

Everything was wonderful. At the first winery, Carvalhas, our guide was Annaliza, she was amazing. We loved everything about this place, and the tour was exceptional.
At Bonfim, we loved our picnic location so much that we decided not to do the facility tour. It was a gorgeous location, and we simply didn’t want to leave the view and our picnic area. The valley is gorgeous, and I wish we had planned to stay overnight.
 

We had a truly beautiful day touring the Douro with Wine Tourism in Portugal. Everything was perfectly arranged for our comfort and enjoyment, and our guide, Gabriel, was exceptional, professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and engaging, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
The visit to Quinta do Carvalhas was excellent, with Ruth providing a pleasant and informative tour. Lunch was a highlight as well, with a pre-arranged menu in a beautiful restaurant that offered excellent food.
We also loved the private boat ride along the Douro. The crew was very welcoming and attentive, adding a special touch to the experience.
All in all, it was a five-star day that we highly recommend. 
 

Thank you for the wonderful planning of our trip to Portugal and the Douro Valley. The landscapes and the people of Portugal were truly amazing. We are deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience. The tour was perfectly organized, from the excellent driver to Maria, our guide in Porto, who made every moment enjoyable. We especially loved the cooking class and look forward to receiving the recipes. We will gladly recommend your services to friends and hope they will experience Portugal as wonderfully as we did.
