Guest Reviews

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

Thank you very much for sending the Road Book, which is perfect, with all the necessary information and as previously agreed.

I want to thank you on my behalf and on behalf of my colleagues, for your perfect and kind service you have given us throughout this difficult process, tumultuous as it was with the Covid-19 pandemic.

See you soon!

With best regards
Euclides

The program was very well designed, and I have nothing but praise for your team! I will certainly recommend you to my friends who want to do this beautiful itinerary!

Best regards

Everything has been wonderful! 

The first restaurant in Porto, booked by WINTP was incredible, and the first winery was detailed. 

We are highly satisfied with the assistance given during planning, the accommodation, and private divers. 

Best, 

Thank you so much for putting together such a lovely, meaningful, well-organized trip to Portugal. All of your planning was professionally done and well appreciated.

I also wanted to give you feedback on our trip. The driver and tour guide in Lisbon were excellent. Would highly recommend it. Loved Altis Avenida hotel. Outstanding staff, great location. Hearty breakfast. Loved the Fado at Mesa dos Frades. The family who owned the restaurant was lovely. So welcoming. Plenty of good food & drink.

I would also highly recommend your company, Wine Tourism in Portugal, for a job well done. Thank you for taking good care of us.

Good afternoon,

The feedback was very positive, and it was a day very well spent.
The Quinta in general and the meal was complete and nothing was missing.
We will continue to count on you for future quotes and events.

Learning more about Portugal was amazing! We loved every single thing. 

We had an excellent time! We especially loved our stay at casa das pipas and all of the great port tasting/tour experiences.

Thanks again for all your help! I left a review on the google page.

The tour was great.  The highlight was staying at Convento do Espinheiro Hotel and the trip out to Herdade do Esporao with the olive oil tasting and lunch in their restaurant. What a treat!! Fabulous food. The olive oils were wonderful.
The Altis and Convento do  Espinheiro Hotel were both very nice.  The Eurostar in Porto was less than average.  We had a view of a wall.
I would recommend your group to anyone wanting to experience Portugal food and wine.  We really enjoyed ourselves.  On our own, I don't think we would have found the restaurants or experiences you provided us.  I will write a review on Google.

Thank you,

Our tour was absolutely perfect and Maria was the most amazing driver.  She truly made it a fun occasion, and we’ll never forget her kindness and excitement.  The wineries we visited were all beautiful, educational, and delicious.

Thanks!

Thanks for the note and for your assistance.  We had a terrific time in Douro and the itinerary you created for us was fantastic….thank you.

Our guide Ivo was outstanding!  He definitely added to the experience for us and was very knowledgeable of Douro. 

He seemed to know everyone there, and we were absolutely in great hands with him.  It was a stunning trip, and we will be back to spend more time in the Douro.

Thank you again and happy holidays!

Dear Rita
I have been meaning to send you a message once we returned home. Firstly compliments the organization, timeliness, and some of the quality of various experiences.

Six Senses went above our expectations and the Chef’s table was a fabulous way to celebrate my husband’s birthday and kickstart our holiday perhaps the best part of the holiday.  Our only regret was we did not have enough time to enjoy the property and its spa and other facilities.  We definitely would like to return with the family and the suite we had was perfect its what we would want again.
The boat cruise was lovely and the weather held which was a true blessing.

All in all, we did have a lovely break and thank you for coordinating everything so well for us.  We definitely shall be in touch in the future and hope we can do our family holiday at Six Senses sometime again.

Worth thanks and regards

Catarina,
It was a great trip!  Thank you!  The first winery was great.  Loved the passion, their story, and the wine and lunch.  It was good to walk around Obidos.  The driver was nice and knowledgeable. 

All in all, it was great.

Hello Rita,

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
Michelle

The assistance during the planning and conception of the itinerary was incredible, highly satisfied. Everything was lovely. 

The pace, accommodations, quality of the service, gastronomy, wine activities, visits, and guides were 5 stars! 

Incredible, 

The professionalism of the travel advisors had us highly satisfied. 
The itinerary, the accommodations, the quality of service, the wine-related activities, the workshops, and the tours.
What struck us most was the food, the wineries, the boat tour, and Fernando.

Thank you
Nancy

Hello Rita,

We had an amazing time in Portugal. What a beautiful country you get to call home!
The trip you planned was perfect. Everything went smoothly and on time. We feel like the blood in our body is replaced with olive oil and wine 😂
All the vendors were great. We particularly enjoyed wine tasting at Cartuxa and Herdade Esporão. The food at Herdade Esporão was just fantastic! 

Best for the last - Jacinto was just incredible. He was a wonderful companion and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was great. He was always on time!
Thanks once again. We hope to visit Portugal again someday. I will also recommend your name to our friends who decide to visit in the future. 

Cheers,
Aparna & Kushal
