Guest Reviews

Everything was great. The winery visits, lunches, and hotel in Evora were all fantastic. Jacinto is a great guide. 

Our favorite was Herdade do Sobroso (our favorite last time). The wines are great and the duck rice is so delicious. This time the winemaker Filipe gave the tour, and he did a great job explaining the wine-making process. It was truly a memorable experience.

Thanks again for all your help. I will reach out the next time we plan a trip to Portugal. 

Best Regards,
Jonathan

Every aspect of the tour, from the meticulous planning to the warm hospitality, was executed flawlessly, making it a memorable journey through Portugal's rich wine culture.The standout feature of this tour was undoubtedly the exceptional attention to detail and kindness displayed by Wine Tourism in Portugal chosen drivers. From the moment we embarked on our adventure, they ensured every aspect of our experience was tailored to perfection. Their knowledge of the region, coupled with their passion for hospitality, elevated the tour to new heights.

One of the most memorable moments of the tour was undoubtedly our visit to Quinta das Carvalhas. The beauty of the estate, nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Portugal's wine country, was truly captivating. Under the guidance of Alvaro Martinho Lopes, we embarked on a journey through the vineyards, learning about the rich history and winemaking traditions that define Quinta das Carvalhas.

What truly set this tour apart was the level of customization offered by the company. From the initial planning stages to the execution of the itinerary, every detail was carefully crafted to meet our preferences and expectations. Whether it was arranging special tastings or accommodating specific dietary requirements, the team went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Ivan was exceptional, and our guides were truly fantastic. Our experience was nothing short of wonderful, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to others. Everything exceeded our expectations. From the meticulous planning and conception of the itinerary to its flawless execution, we rate it five stars. The pace of the itinerary was perfectly balanced, and the service quality was impeccable throughout.

We had a fantastic trip! Our driver was excellent, providing top-notch service throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was perfect, and we had no suggestions for improvement. Highly recommend!

We had the most beautiful holiday in Portugal. The wine tour of the beautiful Douro Valley was Five Star.

The hotels we stayed in were superb and we wished we could have spent more time relaxing in them. The Food was excellent, we had never been treated to such magnificent dishes.

The wine tours were very informative and we enjoyed the tastings too.

Our "driver" Joao Martins, was so much more than a driver! His knowledge and passion for the valley and Portugal were infectious and inspiring. He really made our tour so interesting, and easy and answered all our questions. Really needs far more than a 5-star rating!

Each wine estate had its own charm, but we enjoyed their guide Anna at Quinta do Crasto, and the lunch at Terraçus at Quinta Nova across the valley. The one thing we can say was not such a highlight was the boat trip. The views were magnificent.

All in all, we were really treated like Kings and Queens and highly commend your tour company.

Thank you for accommodating us, what with the Covid epidemic in between. Your professionalism, efficiency, and friendliness have been appreciated.

Thank you from all of us.

Kind Regards

Thank you so much for putting together our dinner this evening!  Everything was absolutely amazing. Please pass my compliments on to everyone involved. We could not be happier.

With warmth and gratitude,

The food was delicious. The wine was flavorful. The guides were knowledgeable.

We loved that both vineyard experiences were private. 

Thanks, 

The level of assistance provided during the planning and conception of the itinerary was unparalleled. The tour organizers exhibited a profound knowledge of Portugal's wine regions and crafted an itinerary that not only showcased the diversity of the country's wines but also catered to my specific preferences. The customization level was outstanding, ensuring that every moment of the tour felt tailor-made for an unforgettable experience.

My wine tour in Portugal was an absolute delight from start to finish. The meticulous planning, personalized touches, and the seamless execution of every detail made it a truly five-star experience.

Everything was really perfect! Our driver and guide Rui Pedro was extraordinary and made the trip even better. When a vineyard had to push our tour back a bit, he took us to see sites and kept us entertained. On our day to Lamego and Amarante, he guided us through the towns and cathedrals and provided so much history. He is an expert at his job and we are grateful for his time and his company. We just really enjoyed him. 

Each winery was unique and interesting and the food and wines were excellent. We will recommend this tour to others. Thank you for helping make it perfect. 
 

We only arrived home last night so sorry for the late reply.

We had an amazing time in Porto and the Douro Valley. I have been telling everyone how amazing it is.

Our trip was fantastic. The crew on the boat and all the drivers were amazing. The scenery was breathtaking. 
We absolutely loved the restaurant on the first night in Regua, equally loved Ventozelo.  Unfortunately I didn't enjoy Quinta de la Rosa as I was so full from our lunch I just couldn't eat. So on saying that it would have been nice just for us to have a wander around Pinhao and maybe grab a lite bite in the town, we found it a little too full on.  

Quinta da Pacheca was beautiful, our lunch there was fantastic.  We also enjoyed our night in the wine barrel.  Shame we could only stay one night. I would have loved to stay longer.  

We will definitely be back, next time though we might drive so we can bring wine home...  

Once again thank you for all your help. It was one of the best holidays we have had.

Kind regards
Natasha

Thanks so much for your reply. We will definitely see you again!

I will also promote your site with my neighbors in Washington, DC. We have a lot of friends who like to travel the world in search of wine and beautiful adventures; your country has lots of both, and there is no one I’d trust more than you to help arrange their journeys!

With gratitude,

Hi Rita,

Thank you so much for all the planning for this tour. We had a great time and would definitely do this again. The drivers were great, the food was great (Terraçu's was terrific), and the wine was great. Everything worked like clockwork with no hiccups along the way.

Certainly one of the best ways to explore the Douro Valley. We just wish we had more time. 

Every aspect shone brightly with five-star quality, spanning from the impeccable support provided while crafting the itinerary to the enchanting wine-related encounters. The historical insights shared by the driver and sommelier, handpicked by Wine Tourism in Portugal, emerged as the most cherished and exceptional moments of the journey.

The support provided during the planning phase was exceptional, receiving a five-star rating. The number of experiences included in the itinerary, as well as the pace at which they were arranged, also received top marks.

We are extremely pleased with the wine-related activities, gastronomy, and the services of the private drivers. 

Everything was incredible, five stars. 

We are delighted. 

Sintra was the most extraordinary and unmissable moment in the tour. Everyone did their best. 

We are highly satisfied with everything. 

The lunch and wine tour was the most special and unmissable moment of the tour.

Thank you. It was definitely in the top five adventures in our 9 country tour!

The experience was phenomenal, and we are already checking our calendars to see how soon we can come back!

Jacinto was prompt and knowledgeable, the weather was perfect, and the wine was fantastic. Choosing the best part is tough. Nothing could ever beat the chef's signature lunch at Herdade do Esporão, except maybe the view right outside their restaurant.

We also loved the hotel (especially the pool) and just walking around Évora. Every winery we visited was well worth it; the tour guides were so friendly and helpful, the facilities were unique, and we were definitely introduced to foods and wines that we would have missed out on. It was the trip of a lifetime! Thank you for making it happen. You'll be hearing from us again—and hopefully soon 🙂

Thank you so much,
Mike

There are so many highlights! I especially loved the sailboat ride and my husband loved the visit to Quinta das Carvalhas.

I also really loved that visit. Our tour guide there was just the best. And their wines are delicious! Fortunately, we can buy them here in South Carolina!

"The most unmissable moments on the tour were the Douro scenery, the friendly people, and the fabulous driver (Augusto)."

Thank you very much for providing us with such a wonderful experience.  The organization was great, our driver Augusto was absolutely fantastic and the wine program/tours and tastings were superb.  

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to anyone.  

Thank you again!

Thank you to everyone there for the amazing service in working with us over the past several years to make this trip a success!

As a group we made a few notes of items to mention for feedback:

We liked how you made sure we went to different types of wineries and all the accommodations were very nice. 

You guys did a fantastic job and our driver was FANTASTIC! We have recommended you to numerous of our friends since we have been back.

Thank you for everything! We loved your beautiful country, fantastic wines, and very friendly people!!

Sincerely,
Lisa Mazzaroni
