Great time at Villas Escudero

Ask about swimming and other activities available. We read about it and had to tell our guide we wanted to swim. We had time, but needed to ask to get our swimsuits from the van.

Douro Valley Wine Tasting, Lunch and Cruise

We loved this tour to the Douro Valley, especially the lunch at Quinta Do Lodeiro! The lunch in the beautiful home was the best food we had in Portugal! Sonya at the Quinta Do Lodeiro had a dry sense of humor but was a hoot! Our guide,Tanya, was fun and very informative! She is one of the best we have had! We also enjoyed the visit to Amarante even though it was raining a lot and the winery tasting and tour although it was a bit early before lunch. The boat tour was relaxing too.

Our group of four had a wonderful time & enjoyed every minute of our tour that exceeded our expectations. We were picked up from our meeting place on time. We had a very pleasant, excellent , entertaining ,& patient tour guide named Fernando who took our photos on the best locations of the Villa. He is a very good photographer as well. We also had an excellent driver that made sure we were safe. The lunch buffet that was included with the tour was sumptuous . We enjoyed the ride pulled by a carabao & the live serenading duo of Filipino songs as we traveled to the waterfalls . Thank you so much for the excellent service rendered. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.
