A Day We’ll Treasure Forever in the Douro Valley with Carlos - Our family had the most wonderful day in the Douro Valley with Carlos. It was myself, my husband, and my parents who are in their 70s, and I can truly say this experience was outstanding. Carlos was such a kind and genuine host, with a great sense of humor and incredible knowledge of the region. He took us to the most beautiful scenic viewpoints and shared stories that really brought the Douro to life. The private river cruise was just perfect, an hour on the Douro felt like exactly the right amount of time to relax and soak in the beauty of the valley. The highlight of the day was our lunch at a vineyard, which was beyond outstanding. It was some of the best homemade food we’ve had anywhere in Portugal authentic, flavorful, and made with so much love. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Fabio was wonderful to work with when arranging this tour on such short notice, and Carlos delivered an experience that far exceeded our expectations. As a luxury travel designer, I am always looking for exceptional partners, and I truly cannot recommend their services highly enough. They did an absolutely outstanding job, and this day will be one of our most cherished memories of Portugal.

Thanks for a wonderful experience - Carlos, thank you for a wonderful experience. The day certainly lived up to my expectations and some. The timing set out for the day was good. I really enjoyed the company of our group of eight. This tour was lovely for me travelling on my own. The group shared experiences of both Porto and other countries visited. Porto tourist attractions shared.

Porto wine tour , boat ride and tastings - Carlos, our guide, was absolutely the best! Our family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the wine tasting tour. The wine tastings and information provided during the tour and lunch was 5 star. We highly recommend this tour! Carlos also was a great sport with putting our grown daughters favorite music on to karaoke with!

Awesome experience - This was a wonderful experience. The river cruise was the perfect length and was beautiful. The two wineries were different in the best ways with great tastings and incredible views. Nuno was a very entertaining tour guide! Would recommend/do again!

Pleasant day in the Douro Valley - Overall this was a pleasant day traveling through the Douro Valley. Everything was as advertised. We did have some challenges at the start. One couple was coming directly from the airport that delayed our start slightly and another couple was Spanish speaking on an English speaking tour. Our driver, Emanuel, was great though and made everyone feel at ease with good humor while speaking both languages. The pace of the tour was relaxed and we never felt rushed. Would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour with a great guide and group - We first heard about Emanuel from a couple we met from Luxembourg. We struck up a conversation and mentioned the difficulty in finding a good small group tour to the Douro Valley. They proceeded to tell us about a great tour with a wonderful guide they had just taken. There is nothing like a great recommendation from nice people. They gave us Emanuel’s contact information and I reached out to him. Emanuel got right back to me and worked with his tour company to get us on the tour the next day. We had high expectations from our new friends’ recommendation but Emanuel definitely exceeded them. He was funny and engaging with just enough attitude to keep it interesting. The quintas we visited were excellent! So much more personality than the mass tours you normally get. The wines we tasted were also excellent and the lunch was the best part for me as our tour group visited together as new friends while enjoying the hospitality of a local family. Truly one of the best experiences we’ve had. I can’t recommend Emanuel highly enough.

We LOVED our tour - we... - We LOVED our tour - we had such a fun day and loved our guide as he was personable, knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed. The boat ride was nice (a bit overcrowded) but the views were spectacular. Lunch was delicious and it was in a beautiful setting. The first winery tour was very informative and our wine sommelier had a great sense of humor. We thought we were going on two tours but the second wine tour was actually just tasting different wines while having lunch. My only negative was that we had a hard time hearing our driver in the back of the van ( his microphone was broken) with the road noise etc.
