Bruno Does It All! Fantastic Porto Wine Tour

Bruno was an absolutely fantastic guide for our BL Heritage Tour in Porto! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and kept us thoroughly entertained from start to finish. Bruno is truly a jack-of-all-trades—effortlessly handling everything from the driving to hosting our final wine tasting and tour. We absolutely loved the wineries he selected and the entire experience. Highly recommend. Book direct!

Great day out in the...

Great day out in the Douro Valley. We took this trip because it was a small group and the trip didn't disappoint, although we perhaps would have liked a little longer on the river itself. We could not fault the lunch with wine pairings in a Vineyard settings. The second vineyard was a complete contrast to the first and offered us port tastings as well as wine. Our guide/driver was enthusiastic and knowledgeable as were the guides on the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed our day out and would not ...read more

A Wonderful Day Trip to the Douro Valley

This was an amazing trip and Joao simply a wonderful and knowledgeable guide for our day. The Douro Valley is incredibly beautiful and fully green in the summer. The drive itself was spectacular in a van perfect for our small group (the was a perfect size by the way). The vineyards and their hosts were wonderful, the boat trip was a great change of pace, and the lunch was a great way to wrap up the day. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting northern Portugal.

Great day trip to see Duoro

We did a private tour for our family of 4 and had a super experience. Alex was a perfect guide - knowledgeable, engaging, and flexible. The highlight was the fact electric boat excursion - it’s short but fun especially for the teens. The van was super comfy and air conditioned. We loved the Quinta da Foz winery.
