Our tour guide Catharina was very sweet and made sure we always had everything we needed. She was very helpful and obviously cared about us getting a good experience. We went to two wineries, where the first one was a small and family owned farm, and the second one was a much larger one. The first one was a very good experience with a very sweet guide and two tastings, but the second one was less enjoyable because we did the tour with another group, which meant we were way too many people to enjoy the tour. We also did not have enough time to drink the wines there, but that was probably the winery’s fault, because they had double booked. Our lunch was a three course meal at a nice restaurant, and it was very good. Overall, a very good day. I only wish our group was a little smaller, because it does get hard to hear everything the guide says sometimes, and it got very crowded at the first winery. It is also easier to keep to a schedule with fewer people.

Had a great time during this tour. We drove/sailed through some parts of the Valley with car and boat. We visited to wine yards and tested in total 4 different Port wines. We also had a really nice lunch with as much wine as you can drink during the lunch. Our guides were really nice! Only thing we didn’t like was that we spent so much time in the bus for transport…

Helt fantastisk tur, Sarah var guiden vår og hun var så snill og hyggelig og nydelig og sprudlende og informativ. De to vinprodusentene er veldig forskjellige fra hverandre, men det var hyggelig å se to forskjellige sider til portvinkjellere, og guidene på hver av dem var fantastiske. Det var litt skuffende å finne ut at vi ikke ville gå gjennom noen vingårder, men det er lavsesongen og ingen druer vokser, så det er forståelig. Lunsj var fantastisk, vi ventet noen smørbrød pakket inn i en fast film, men det var et treretters måltid på en fin restaurant, inkludert vin inkludert. Sarah var veldig imøtekommende for oss og bremset til og med av varebilen da hun la merke til at vi tok bilder, og stoppet på noen få naturskjønne punkter for å ta mer. Vi prøvde bare portviner på hvert av vingårdene, som var litt av sviktet da vi var under inntrykk av at vi ville prøve alle slags vin fra Duoro-dalen. Imidlertid var det absolutt verdt pengene vi brukte (£ 85 hver tror jeg).
