Can’t miss - highlight of our trip
chels1688, October 2026
The highlight of our trip to Portugal! Ana was early to pick us up, engaging, friendly and made the trip better than we expected, she made this feel like a trip with a friend instead of just a job to her. The cost covers lunch, a river tour, a stop in a quaint town and two wineries, the price is well worth it. Regardless of if you’re a wine lover or not this tour is worth it just for the views and if you love wine come try Portuguese wine as a California wine lover Ana made me want to start looking for Portuguese wines on the wine list moving forward.

Bernardo was our guide for the full-day private tour and was awesome! Pick up was very smooth, and he was extremely informational during the entire tour. Both vineyards we visited were fantastic, and the lunch was delicious! I’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Porto.
