Diane R.United States
Had a great tour seeing and learning all about Porto. Our vehicle was roomy, clean and comfortable. Our lunch in Gia was especially delicious, but the highlight was the port wine tour at Cockburne port cellars. Fine wine tasting and amazing cellars. Well worth the money for both first time and repeat visitors to the Porto region.
Joanna R.United States
My husband and I enjoyed our day in Porto with Miguel. We got to see a lot of this beautiful city, old and new, enjoyed fresh grilled fish with all the trimmings in the fishing village of Afurada for lunch, and (of course) did a classic Port tasting and learned about the local winemaking process. Miguel was knowledgeable and flexible and a great driver in the narrow winding streets of this historic city. Highly recommend!
Marianne E.United States
Miguel was an outstanding guide. He has a great knowledge of Portuguese history, and tells the stories in such an interesting way. He was very personable and was very happy to answer any questions we had about Portuguese culture. We walked through some very old parts of the city which are a UNESCO world heritage site. We went by his car to the other side of the river. The views of Porto were beautiful. While we were there, we had a wine tasting tour which was excellent. We learned so much about Porto because of Miguel.
Pamela R.United States
We had a wonderful tour with an expert guide. He customized it to focus on our interests and our preferred tineframe. He has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the city and country. Our lunch in a local fishing village near the bank of the Douro River was fantastic, as was the tour and port wine tasting at the family run Poças. Highly recommend him.
