This was a really fun tour with Miguel. Miguel is very knowledgeable about the wine region and has a great personality. You will have a great time. We did a private cruise which was stress free thanks to Miguel making the arrangements and we visited a fantastic Douro Valley winery. A great day thanks to the planning and assistance of Miguel! I highly recommend!
