Not as private or informative
Irina_R, Aug 2024
This was not a good tour. This tour, even though labeled as private, was not private. When we got to the port winery, we were put on a tour with 20 other people. Further more, when we started the tasting, we were surprised to discover that the cheese platter that was listed as part of the experience, was not there. Driver / Guide had heavy accent, and his mastery of English language left a lot to be desired.

Hi Irina. Thank you for your review and we are sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations. This tour is completely private and you will have the use of a van just for you and a guide/driver who is completely dedicated to your well-being. Regarding the tour of the Port Wine Cellar, closing the cellar just for us would have been a much higher cost than what you actually paid, as you can understand. Allow me to just say a word of appreciation to your guide who dedicated himself so much to ensuring that you enjoyed the tour. Once again, we are sorry that you did not enjoy it.
Super afternoon!

We had a very nice afternoon! Our guide Patricia took us to a beautiful viewpoint, followed by a tour and tasting and to finish we were guided by car through the best places of postage. We travel with two children and she has tailored the tour to our wishes. Patricia was enthusiastic and has told us many valuable and also fun stories about the city. Finally, she gave several tips for the day after the tour and dropped us off at a nice restaurant. Rarely had such information, tailor-made tour!

My mom and I went on this tour and it turned out to be just the two of us that day so it turned into a nice little private tour! Guillerme was courteous, professional and funny and showed us places we could never see as a tourist or on one of the larger buses. The wine and cheese tasting was fabulous as well! Lots of education on Port wines, capped off with purchasing a couple to take home. Delicious! All in all, I highly recommend the tour. Just enough to see Porto, taste some wine and still have the day left over to explore. Thanks so much!
