A must-do - Fantastic day with lots of interesting things to see and experience. And a very knowledgeable guide in Jean 🙂
We learnt how Port is made, why it’s made and what makes it good.
And most of all we drank and enjoyed a lot of it!
Take the opportunity to take pictures of the river and enjoy a fantastic lunch at the end - which deserves a great review all on its own.
A highlight of our trip to Porto.

December Treat - Amazing trip, gene was the tour guide of the day and he was lovely. He showed up to our pick up point early and quickly made us feel welcomed. It was a smooth car ride over to Douro Valley . Once there he took us to a delicious coffee shop, let us take our time and walk over the bridge. The first wine stop was gorgeous, we then went for a boat tour down the Douro River, followed by the best meal of our entire trip. There was also a sweet visit from the local cat Antonio and Dog. Everyone was lovely, my husband and I very grateful for a wonderful experience. We booked the tour thru Airbnb experiences

Duoro Valley Visit with Viva Tours. We visited 1 Port Vineyard, the river cruise and also lunch and wines at vineyard - Good wines, great explanations, lovely food and drinks. Also a nice cruise on the river with good explanations. Understood the differences between wines and port, also the different classifications of port.

Cannot say enough amazing things about this tour - My husband and I LOVED this tour. Jean was our guide and he was the best. Our tour group was very mixed with couples of different ages (I actually regret not getting contact info so we could keep in touch) and we all enjoyed our day immensely. Everything from the coffee shop to the boat ride, wineries and lunch...all fantastic. My husband is not a wine drinker but after this tour, he is.
