Perfect Douro Valley day!

This was such a well planned day trip and our guide, Louis, made the trip very easy and interesting. I especially loved that the two wineries we visited were two of the oldest in the region and owned by Portuguese families. Both 14th generation! For all that the day included, it was a very good value.

A Grand Day Out

Excellent day, would highly recommend. Bernardo, our guide, made the experience very informative and fun. Well paced, not rushed.
