First of all our driver Gustavo is a wonderful top-notch gentleman. We had so much fun having him as our driver all week. We can’t say enough positive things about him.

The tour was beyond our expectations from the hotel to the cooking experiences, Quinta visits, lunches, and the Spa visit. It was an incredible experience, and we will never forget our time in the Douro Valley. Our private cooking class with Chef Milton at Quinta Do Portal was so special and epoch. He was so fun during our cooking class, and all the special dishes he made us for lunch were amazing. We also connected with him at the Vintage House for dinner, and he took us back to the kitchen to introduce us to his team, as he is an executive chef and Quinta Do Portal and the Vintage House. We felt so special.  Furthermore, we can't say enough positive things about Chef Milton. All the wine tasting and Quinta tour experiences were amazing. All the people were great. We honestly don’t have a favorite, they were all different and wonderful experiences.

We would also like to comment on our day tour in Lisbon with our guide Maria and driver Joao. She took us to some amazing sites, restaurants and shared a ton of information about Portugal and the city of Lisbon. This was an amazing day, and we will never forget the time we spent with Maria exploring Lisbon.

We would highly recommend Wine Tourism Portugal to anyone seeking to explore Portugal. Thank you for all your help and attention to detail in making this trip a once in a lifetime experience.

Sincerely,
Lavon and Nicci Fischer
 

Pedro was awesome and so knowledgeable. The sailing trip was wonderful, and Crasto Winery was our favorite stop. Ventozelo was absolutely stunning. I honestly can't think of any improvements – everything was perfect!

We had an incredible private one-day tour of the Douro Valley, including wine tours and a cruise on the Douro River. You did a fantastic job planning the entire experience, and our driver, Sergio, was both warm and welcoming. His knowledge of the region added great value to our journey. The wine tours and lunch were nothing short of splendid, and the cruise offered breathtaking views of the valley. I highly recommend Wine Tourism in Portugal for an unforgettable experience.
Thank you for all your help. 

Tom said they had a fantastic time in Portugal, loved everything, and she said yes, so it couldn't have been better.

Thanks for your help preparing this trip.

Just a short email to say thank you for the fantastic tour we had in the Alentejo. Our driver, Jacinto, was very knowledgeable about the area, which really enhanced the experience. The only drawback, which was possibly due to a miscommunication, was that we arrived at Herdade do Esporão too late for the olive oil tasting. According to the itinerary, Jacinto and I had we needed to be at Esporão for 11am, but they had us booked in for the olive oil tasting at 10.30. It was no detriment to the rest of the visit, and the lunch in the restaurant was some of the best food I have ever tasted. 

Thanks again

The Douro Tour that was planned for me was very well-thought-out and designed for my budget and requests. Quinta Ventozelo was the perfect setting for relaxation, I would definitely return again.  The staff were wonderful and the accommodations upscale.There were just enough included meals and each one was excellent.  Everyone needs to take a cruise on the Douro to appreciate the scale of vineyards in the region.  It's breathtaking. My driver, Ivan, was the perfect host. He is so knowledgeable about his country and loved sharing his stories. I could not ask for better. Thank you for making my tour in Douro Valley a trip I will always cherish. 

Fernando was the most knowledgeable driver. He allowed us flexibility. 
All wine experiences were great, especially the Carvalhas stop. 

The hotel was very nice, especially the breakfast. 

The food arrangements were all great (specially the Pacheca dinner). 

The Douro Valley is a very special place with beautiful scenery, friendly people, and incredible ports. We also got to know some very good local portuguese wines. 

We absolutely LOVED our wine tour!! We could not believe how amazing the day was from the two tours with wine tastings, to the amazing lunch, to our kind driver Francisco! We felt so happy we did this. I would love to share a review if you want to send me a link. Thank you so much!

Best,
Courtney  

Thank you for your assistance and expertise in planning our trip to Porto and the Douro Valley. I have given a lot of thought in responding to your request about the highlight of our tour. In short, I wouldn't change any details of the roadbook you designed for us.  The arrangements you made for us exceeded our expectations.  We were happy to final be able to be seated at the Majestic Cafe after not being able to be seated during our 2018 trip.  Each winery tour was special.  We enjoyed each tour and learned interesting information at each tour.  Of the three, We probably enjoyed the tour at Graham's the most, but all the wines we tried were delicious! The Douro Valley tour was probably the highlight and the most complete.  We had wanted to be able to explore the various quintas from a boat tour on the river, and were able to get photos we couldn't manage before on our own.  Antonio was a very entertaining and knowledgeable guide.

It was well worth the time we spent with him, and he was absolutely correct about the fabulous food at the Quinta da Pacheca.  What a fascinating and beautiful place!

I would gladly contact you again to help us plan future trips to Portugal.  In fact, some friends may be planning a trip to the Algarve next year.  I will be very happy to recommend you and Wine Tourism in Portugal to help plan their trip.

My wife and I want to thank you for the wonderful trip to Portugal.  From Lisbon to Porto and all points in between, the food, wine, architecture, and physical beauty of Portugal was absolutely amazing.  It was the trip of a lifetime.  On another note, our driver, Luis, was an absolute delight.  By the end of the trip, he was not only our driver but our friend for life.  We believe that Luis's talents are being underutilized as simply a driver.  His incredible grasp of the English language, his encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Portugal, and his remarkable and extensive recommendations for local food, wine, and culture make him a perfect tour guide.  If you have a position for a true tour guide, I can think of no one more perfectly qualified.  Luis is a tremendous human being.  You all are fortunate to have him.
