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
We are all safely home now, and mostly recovered from the jet lag! I think we would all agree that our trip was excellent, and is one we'll remember forever. Vítor was dependable, knowledgeable, and helpful in every way possible.
There are so many highlights of the tour that it really is impossible to pick out just one. Ann and I compared our thoughts, and we came up with two - the incredible lunch at DOC on the bank of the Douro River (nine courses, I believe) and an almost equally amazing lunch at Barão Fladgate in Porto. We also really enjoyed an unexpectedly nice lunch in Lisbon at Gambrinus, and our tour and wine tasting at Quinta da Bacalhoa.
Other "finalists" for the highlights list are the rooftop dinner at Rossio Gastrobar Restaurant in Lisbon, the palaces of Cascais, the wine tasting and lunch at Sao Lourenco do Barrocal and the fabulous lunch at Terracu's Restaurant at Quinta Nova.
Martha Jane and Linda will probably have their own highlights to mention. I know they had many lunches, tours, and sights that they were amazed by!
Thanks for your help in pulling all the trip details together so well. You have been a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
We really enjoyed our time in Quinta de Chocapalha, one of the locations chosen by Wine Tourism in Portugal. What an amazing family and experience.
We will never forget it,
Einar
We are highly satisfied with the tour made with WINTP. From the number of experiences included, to the itinerary's customization level.

We had an amazing time on the tour of the Douro Valley! Our guide was the highlight, he was outstanding and made the trip down and back there even better.
He was so informative and made sure we had everything we needed. We stayed a little later at the last Quinta, and he was patient with us when we were ordering wines which we greatly appreciated since he was giving up his time.
Thanks so much for helping to organize this fantastic day for us!
The Experience chosen by you was amazing, we should have booked more time. Our drivers Alcides (Junior) and Maria took the trip to the next level.
Kudos,
Mike
Hello, I just finished our tour today and I wanted to say how pleased I was with everything, start to finish. As were all my clients.
From the beginning of the booking, everything was handled so well.
The driver/guides today could not have been any more helpful and informative, two very nice men, interesting to talk with, and good, safe drivers.
I would certainly recommend your company and plan to. I will also look forward to working with you in the near future.
Best,
We are extremely satisfied: from wine related activities, to the restaurants and cruises chosen by Wine Tourism in Portugal.
The assistance given during planning and conception of the itinerary got us really satisfied, as well.
Lunch was delicious.
We loved our tour in Alentejo.
While each day was packed with so many wonderful things from start to finish, the highlight for us was the lunch at Herdade do Esporão. We thoroughly enjoyed each course with wine pairing. (and We enjoyed our leisure time in Monsaraz after).
I look forward to returning to Portugal again and using your services soon.
Best,
Sharon
The personalization, the guides, the food and service were the most special moments of the tour.
Ivo is a great driver and tour guide. He made our experience a pleasure! The views from Quinta do Seixo are phenomenal.
Thank you so much for being patient with me as you worked out my itinerary. I really appreciated your patience while I decided on the specific dates of my trip and I liked how you handled all the details, including providing me with the "Road Book''.
All the places you arranged for me to stay were of the highest quality and the service was excellent. Both of the winery tours and the tastings were a lot of fun. I especially like Quinta de Mata Mouros, and my guide Vanessa couldn't have been nicer. She was very knowledgeable about Quinta de Mata Mouros, their wines, and the entire Silves area. In fact, I have 6 bottles of their wine being shipped to me right now.
I really like the Anantara Vilamoura Resort - an exquisite room and an exceptional property. I was very pleased with the 3HB room in Faro, and the room at the Pousada Convento, in Tavira. I really liked the slower pace in Tavira, and had a great day at the beach (on the island - don't remember the name).
All of these experiences you organized for me were great, and I will highly recommend you to anyone I talk to who is interested in a fantastic experience in the Algarve.
My entire trip had many highlights. For the Portugal portion, the winery tour and tasting at Quinta de Mata Mouros was probably the highlight, including the drive there and touring Silves (the castle and cathedral afterward. A fantastic day!
Thank you again for all of your help in arranging my trip to Portugal. Can't wait to come back to the Algarve.
All the Best to You,
Grant
Private tour and activities were the most special and unmissable moments! Unique experiences that can't be made on our own.
We absolutely loved our private wine tour!!! Our driver, Maria was amazing and so sweet! The wineries were beautiful and all the guides were very knowledgeable and accommodating. We would highly recommend this tour!!!
Thank you, Kurt and Nina
Everything was great. We had an amazing day and Ricardo (the driver chosen by WINTP) was so amazing and very informative. We learned so much about Portugal.
Thanks

Our experience with WINTP was amazing! They handled every little detail for us and made our visit to the Douro Valley truly memorable. We were picked up at our apartment in Porto by Junior who provided an excellent introduction to the wine region. He even stopped at one of the locks on the river, so we could watch a Viking boat rise up and move along. That afternoon we sailed on the Douro and shared a bottle of wine. We had a wine-pairing dinner at our Quinta.
The next day, Ricardo picked us up and drove us to 2 more wineries. He was very entertaining and enjoyable to drive with. He, like Junior, educated us on the culture and area. The highlight of the visit for me was the wine-pairing lunch at Quinta Nova! The food was incredible!
On the last day of our 3-day visit, Ricardo drove us to another Quinta. He knew all the people who worked in the quintas which made it even more special. It felt like we had an "in" for these semi-private tours. We really felt like VIPs!
Sincerely, Candace
The driver João, chosen by Wine Tourism in Portugal, was excellent, very friendly, and informative.
A pleasure to spend the day
The highlights of the trip were definitely the wine tour and lunch at Quinta do Crasto, the property at Quinta da Pacheca, and the guided tour in Lisbon.
Our drivers were also amazing as well. Maria was a fantastic driver. We were so happy to see her for our second time in the Douro.
Hello Catarina , Rita and Sara
We had an amazing 10 days tour of your beautiful country. Compliments from all for the organization, timeliness, and some of the quality of various experiences.
Our tour was absolutely wonderful and Tiago and João were the most astounding drivers. The tour guide Silvia was perfect .she truly has an interesting way of relying on and connecting the historical information in a very smooth manner, and we’ll never forget her kindness . Very nice professional, and polite. All the planned visits were beautiful and educational.
The highlight of the trip varied from person to person and i will list them all
1-the stay at Quinta Ventozelo… scenery, landscape, and atmosphere were so chilling and relaxing. The staff were so kind, and helpful and did their best to make our stay a comfortable home one. Service was impeccable … I would suggest they add a spa to their services and work more on food and culinary choices and it is the best relaxing destination.. it is a dream picturesque place
Spectacular location, a beautiful view
2-Pena palace, fantastic Sintra, and the well were mesmerizing. A beautiful spot not to be missed. And in that regard, there should be a warning and special transport arrangement for those who can not climb uphill. Two of our friends missed this spectacular tour because of uphill difficulty and lack of transport
3- Some liked Evora so much especially the Sao Francisco church and the fascinating Chapel of the bones ..
4- the boat trip in the Douro river and lunch at doc restaurant were perfectly timed , highly recommended , relaxing view of the river and the valley. LOVED BY ALL
5-in porto the highlight was livraria lello :one of the most beautiful bookshops that i have seen and so much worth the visit.
AS FOR HOTELS ;
Could not be any better. The hotels chosen were superb, and we wished we could have spent more time relaxing in them
Amazing wonderful choices
Loved all the hotels we stayed at in terms of location, 5-star experience. Service from the entire hotel team was outstanding.
All in all, i can not thank you enough.
The feedback from all ladies was top positive
A special thanks to Catarina for your assistance in planning, advice, and prompt reply at any time. We had a terrific time in Portugal and the itinerary you created for us was fantastic….thank you.
Our guide Silvia was outstanding! She definitely added to the experience for us and was very knowledgeable. The tours were great.
I would certainly recommend your group WITHOUT HESITATION to anyone wanting to experience Portugal. We really enjoyed ourselves. On our own, I don't think we would have found the restaurants, hotels, or experiences you provided us.
Thank you from all for coordinating everything so well for us. Everything went smoothly and on time better than I expected
All in all, we were really treated like Queens and highly recommend your tour company.
The service was AMAZING, thank you so much.
warm wishes and regards from ALL
