“The trip was nice I got to know pretty big about the region and the informations were passed while we were driving from time to time so it wasn't tiresome to listen and absorb. There was too little walking form me as I prefer to spent time more actively while the trip day I was sitting in the bus except whole walking part was 1 hour/ 1,5 hour in total from sitting in the boat. Yet it was very relaxing day. One thing which annoyed me and quite spoilt me the beginning of the trip was the problem which my e-ticket, as it was said I didn't need to be…”

“We had an amazing time on our private tour. We were picked up right at our hotel and while the drive is long, we were entertained along the way. We also stopped to get treats and check out a local town. The two vineyards that were arranged for us were perfect. The tours were interesting and the views were amazing.

“The Douro Valley is a gem. Daniel, our guide, was helpfull, cheerfull and knowledgeble. The stops were well planed and lunch was excellent, served with all you can drink Douro wine. Only the presentation at the Croft estate was a bit stiff and lacked passion. We've been offered very little Port. But the rest of the tour was memorable. Thanks Daniel!”

Promptly arrived at the arranged time and was extremely welcoming. Clean comfortable car with plenty of room for our group of four.

“Andre of Touch Tours was excellent. He really made Porto even more special than it already is. We drove around in a comfortable Mercedes all the way to the beach and back and he brought us to an excellent lunch of heart-attack inducing francsinha. We were deposited on a boat in Ribeiro for a pleasant cruise and crossed the river to Gaia for some Port wine. Andre was energetic, had great stories to tell and was flexible with any requests. Glad to have had him show me around Porto. While I was travelling solo, they'd managed to pair me up with another so it all worked out. Obrigado!”
