Highly recommended personal guide tour

Maja_S, Jul 2022
Me and my husband had João as a guide on July 25 2022 and we’re were very pleased with the whole experience. The guide who drove us, were very professional and had high knowledge about the district, the wines and the country. The pace was really nice, we’d time to really soak in the wineries and the enviroment of the Douro valley. Perfect with a chauffeur if you want to get a little boozed from the wine tasting and lunch. The roads are really tricky so I’d recommend have some else drive you if you’re not custom to steep, narrow European roads.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Maja; Thank you so much for stopping by to review and recommend us, we hope to hear from you again! Best Regards; João Dias

Jessica_O, Jul 2022
This tour was amazing! João was our guide and he was great. Super nice and cool guy! It was an all day experience so it was definitely worth the money! The wine was great as well as the included snacks. We had a great time.

Douro was a delightful day trip with a great guide

Stephanie_K, Jul 2022
So glad we added this day trip at the last minute! My friend and I had very limited time, plus I do a lot of wine tastings coming from California. I was questioning whether a trip to Douro was worth it, vs. more time in Porto or the beach. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about wine. He took us to a lovely lunch and visit to a small town. We loved the wine, the views, the people, all of it.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Stephanie; We are glad you took the chance and booked with us, I'm sure you'll have some nice memories from this day. Thanks for the review! Best Regards; João Dias
