“Best part of our vacation so far. our guide was so kind and patient. He was honest and helpful when giving recommendations and was very informative. I travelled with kids and my senior parents and they enjoyed the trip as well. we had enough stops to go to he bathroom and stretch. the driver was safe and the ride was comfortable as it had AC. the lunch was alright, wasn't too fond of the soup as a starter and the desert was a bit bland but the main course itself was great. Boat ride was wonderful as well. overall a really good value for the money spent.”

“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!”

“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!”
