Tour was okay, nothing spectacular, a quick visit to a small town in the morning which to be honest wasn't really needed (in my opinion only, others may disagree) the lunch again was just okay. A couple of wine tastings maybe could have squeezed in another if not for the morning stop?

Informative tour with great views of the Douro valley and wineries. Our guide Luciano explained a lot about both historical and current facts of both Portugal and the port wines.

Our guide Mariana and driver Antonio were excellent! I felt like I was on a personalized tour of the Duoro River Valley. Views, history, great food, and of course port wine topped off with a boat tour of the river!

The tour was amazing. Mariana and Antonio were excellent hosts. We sampled wine and port from 2 vineyards and explored unique Portuguese communities packed with history. I learned so much. We punctuated the day with Duoro River scenic vistas from the cruise boat. Well worth the money!

This was one of our favorite things about our trip! The wineries that you go to in the boat ride are very fun. It was worth every cent! They also brought us to a stop right in the beginning for some breakfast, and to see a small town.
Maria and Manual were amazing! Couldn’t ask for a better bus driver and tour guide! They’re really knowledgeable on what was going on and made the bus rise in between everything very fun.

Great overview of a special area - interesting stops and great food and wine. The boat trip was perhaps least favorite and 2 languages on the tour distracting and do not recall this when I booked.

Amazing experience. We had about 15 people in our group and I know people would prefer private but I a group we got to meet people and get tips for restaurants. Luciano was a great Tour guide and we booked directly with Living tours and it was very well organised. Wineries were fabulous and lunch was nice. Highly recommend
