“There was some confusion about the logistics of the morning pick-up, but once all eight passengers were in the van, our guide Ivo (pronounced "E-vu") took charge and provided us all with a smooth, interesting, and tasty day-long tour.

All the aspects of the day were memorable, the wine and port tastings, the boat ride, the stunning landscapes, and the delicious, authentic lunch of cuzinha tradicional. Oporto Tours was also kind enough to make an unscheduled stop at the Regua…”
