Customer reviews of tours in Portugal

Easy to find the departure point unlike some cruises which can be a bit chaotic. The cruise was comfortable and informative and there were several points of interest along the way.

Just the right length for the tour. Staff was very kind. Scenery was excellent.

The crew was really friendly. You could see a lot of sights and the audio guide explained everything there is to know. You could also choose between a wine and something non alcoholic. It was a really nice tour that we can recommend a 100% :)

A nice way to see the city from the river and to enjoy sunset. Very affordable!

It was very great and cozy. The staff was very nice and it was a great value for the money!

Excellent, the staffs where very welcoming and have good hospitality knowledge always approaching with a smile... Keep it up

A great way to see all the landmarks without having to run around the city. We had done walking tours early on, but this was much more enjoyable. Comes with an audio guide that was very informative, and it was pleasant to sit up top with the breeze. FYI, it requested to arrive 10 min early but we found there was another boat still waiting to load up. The trip actually takes off 20 minutes after scheduled time.

It was amazing to see Lisbon from the water. Wish there were more outdoor seats

It was good half day seeing an amazing place from boat and also experience through walking.

Very pleasant walk on the Taje. This allows you to discover Lisbon from another angle and take very beautiful photos! From the Commerce Square, to the Belem Tower, with Christo del Rei on the way back, we didn't see the time passing. Perfect activity to do as a family. We were unlucky with the weather, gray, mist and rain, but since the boat could be completely covered, it was ideal for enjoying the ride while staying dry!

No spoken guide and just a few images / descriptions of landmarks on the TV to look at as we cruised along.

Amazing picturesque root, very friendly staff, clean boat, bar with plenty of options for drinks :) Enjoyed it a lot, highly recommended!

Everything was as described and it was nice to enjoy Lisbon from the water. In my opinion, the duration of the cruise was perfect! Not too long and not too short. It was really possible to enjoy the views and not get bored. The only remark, the coffee on board was very bad, I did not taste anything else.

this activity was nice, too bad we didn't have an explanation about the different monuments and others that we saw!!!! The walk was still nice with great sunshine!!!!

Very pleasant activity to have a different view of Lisbon and the different monuments!!! The staff on board are very friendly and the boat is very comfortable. I recommend.

This was a quiet tour. You shouldn't expect much. There is no guide who tells you about what you see and where you pass. This was a relaxed tour, nice to experience it once.

A perfect evening! We were all so impressed by the boat, hospitality and knowledge of our hosts. It was wonderful to see Lisbon from the water and discover more about the city. With generous glasses of wine flowing too we all had a great evening! Thank you!

Such a great sunset tour! Our guides Anna and Pedro were pleasant and very knowledgeable about Lisbon and gave us lots of good tips for places to go. The boat is clean and comfortable and the green wine delicious! Highly recommend this tour. We were blessed with catching a gorgeous sunset!

The trip was the highlight of our mini break the guide was very personable and gave us a lot of historical insights and answered lots of questions. The sailing experience was excellent and the sunset spectacular. Great trip a must for a visit to Lisbon

A fantastic way to end my time in this wonderful city. The guide was great; he allowed us to enjoy the boat ride and tranquility, while still guiding us through the points of interest along the way. The green wine was fantastic. Very good value for money in my opinion.

Great tour in a small party - Pedro and Ana were efficient, friendly and entertaining, plenty of wine and laughs and a spectacular sunset thrown in!

The captain and Anna were so kind and made our experience unique!

What a wonderful experience! Couldn't have asked for better guides, the information, tips, history were all very helpful and informative. The subset was amazing! Thank you!

It was an Awesome Sunset tour! Thank you very much to our hosts who were knowledgeable & very friendly. My glass of wine kept being refilled, a tasty pastel de nata, IG worthy sights & the sunset was just simply memorable. Obrigada!

Very informative! Hosts were lovely, really funny and always ensured our drinks were topped up. My girlfriend and I had an amazing time

We had amazing day! The guides were really nice and enthusiastic! I would absolutely recommend this trip :) Thank you so much, love from Noa and Lotte!!

The trip was beautiful. We were running late bc the Uber driver dropped us off on the wrong side of the marina and the construction forced us to walk all the way around and Alex was so kind and gracious about it. It was wonderful to see Lisbon from the water. Drinking vinho verde while watching the sunset on the water... Well, well worth it. 5 stars!

Our guides were wonderful, despite the bad weather! They made this a really fun trip despite the circumstances. I would definitely recommend booking with this tour!

Amazing value. Our guide Alex was friendly and informative. Can’t recommend more highly!!!

It was a lovely and memorable experience. A good value for my money - definitely worth trying at least once when you're in the city. Our guides were exceptional and super friendly.

We loved everything about this ride! Highly recommend this company to everyone visiting Lisbon.

Highly recommend this boat trip! We had a great time learning about the history of Lisbon, while you sit back relax and enjoy a few drinks. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable, answering questions you may have.

Great, knowledgeable crew/guides. very friendly and spoke good English. Felt safe on the boat. Nice wine and kager. Great views. Really enjoyed the experience.

This was a trip highlight for sure. I wish I had done it earlier in my trip (though it was a lovely way to end my trip!). Vasco was an excellent guide. The boat was named Extra Mile and he certainly went that extra mile to provide a lot of information about the history of the city and the landmarks visible from the water. 100 % recommend this trip for anyone as the boat has seating to accomodate all needs. Of course, you're at the mercy of the wind on a sailboat to get the full experience, but they were able to deliver. Loved this tour!

To test ! I highly recommend 😅 the staff is so nice, I loved this experience so much! Habibi ❤️

It was a nice tour, friendly guide and happy with the provided beverage.

Fab tour! Beautiful yacht. Great guides, very friendly and gave us lots of interesting information about the city. Would recommend and would do again.

Guide nice and friendly. Sympathetic group. Boat ride OK. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS FAKE SAILING! We motored and didn't sail. Well, I wanted to sail, had different expectations and was disappointed. Only one of the many providers sailed correctly. Next time I would book him!

Everything was wonderful! A beautiful trip to take along the Tagus River. Riding a sailboat adds a special charm to the city and is a lot of fun! I went with my father, who is 70 years old, and he loved it, he went around the sailboat and had a lot of fun. An unmissable tour!

The guide made us learn about the history of Lisbon and made recommendations for places and restaurants, I really enjoyed it

We did the sunset cruise. Super relaxing and our guides were very knowledgeable, both sharing information and answering questions. Enjoying a bottle of wine while seeing Lisbon and the sunset made for a perfect evening. The boat was clean and the guides were on top of service.

Everything was perfect, the guys were very friendly at all times. recommendable

no changes. small interaction with staff but the views, drinks and cost couldn't be improved.

A lovely relaxed and comfortable cruise along the Tagus as the sun set with views of the Elizabeth Bridge and Christ the Redeemer statue. The crew were friendly and helpful and they served some welcome white port from the bar.

we loved the historic boat. the crew were very friendly and helpful

Very pleasant, a good time spent for a very pleasant price, a small drink offered, wine, beer, Gin and tonic, ... However, the meeting place is very poorly indicated, the nearest tram station would seem to me a minimum (Cais Rocha), with tram 15E from Commercio square or Figueras.

Very nice crew, free drink ok, seats and view were also ok. The music style was ok, but way too loud on deck! The ship is a bit old, but well maintained. You should think about warm clothing at this time of year. It is very windy and cold on the ship! Unfortunately, the captain turned away shortly before sunset and went back. But we were back on time.

Really nice activity!! You have wine, hard liquor, and sodas available. The people on board were really nice 10/10 experience

Despite the bad weather, the welcome was warm, the staff very friendly. A good atmosphere, the city tour is great to see. The walk offers us a panoramic view of all the important monuments of the city, as a bonus the sunset adds charm to the excursion. A drink is offered as a welcome, the barmaid was adorable. Unfortunately we had rain, but a fallback solution was offered to us, we took the walk inside the boat, which took nothing away from the beauty. Plaids are available in case of cold.

We had a great time. Beautiful sailboat, clean and comfortable, beautiful view of the city and the main buildings However, no comments were made during the activity, the skipper was more interested in his phone than in the customers. The second person, spoke French very well, but did not find it useful to practice with the French-speaking customers on board. Too bad, otherwise the output would have been perfect.

We were thrilled to unfurl sails and not just be under power for our excursion. The boat was beautiful and the staff was charming. We highly recommend this activity!

Her "Absolutely fantastic experience! The boat trip on the Tagus River offered breathtaking views of Lisbon's iconic landmarks like the Belem Tower and the Christ the King statue. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured a smooth sailing throughout. It's a must-do activity for anyone visiting Lisbon, offering a unique perspective of the city's beauty from the water. Highly recommend!"

A very good activity. Being in the Belém neighborhood when we decided to take a cruise, we booked with a departure point close to where we were. We opted for the 2:00 version. Having made the reservation in a hurry, we thought it would be a cruise on a big boat with other visitors (in fact, we thought the price was perhaps a little expensive). But it was a great surprise when we arrived and found that this trip was done on board a sailboat, only for the two of us (and therefore, the price was completely justified and affordable compared to other capitals). We were welcomed by Alex and Carlotta and they looked after us very well. Very good view of Lisbon and very beautiful photos. We highly recommend this cruise.

I highly recommend. Great experience. Wonderful guides, nice atmosphere and local stories.

An absolute must. Incredibly beautiful and an absolute highlight for the price. The city of Lisbon appears from a completely different perspective. Fantastic thanks Philipp 😉👍

The best we could have done! Sich a nice crew and amazing trip! Highly recommended!

Very pleasant to cross the Tagus by sailboat. The crew is very nice, especially the gentleman from Panama. However, there was a lack of historical or cultural information to enhance the visit. The meeting point is very well indicated, no waiting. I recommend this outing.

This is the second time I've called on this team because the first time with them was absolutely fantastic, and this time I wanted to bring this moment to life for my 8-year-old daughter. I feared being disappointed compared to the previous time, and it was quite the opposite. It was magical. A magnificent crew, relational, funny, attentive, considerate. We just loved it and it will always be a "must do" for me when I come back to Lisbon. Thank you to all this wonderful team, everyone is happy to do what they do and it shows! Well done and until next time.

We did this activity on the first night of our stay in Lisbon. The meeting point was easy to find. We were on the sailing boat with 5 other people plus two guides. Right at the beginning, the wine was served by the very nice guides. Throughout the tour, one of the guides told us interesting things about the different buildings and districts of the city that we passed. The guides also gave us lots of tips for our further stay. The pouring of wine continued throughout the tour. There were also chips towards the end. All in all a very nice tour and super designed by the guides. The only negative aspect that comes to mind was that unfortunately it was very cloudy and we couldn't see the sunset. Of course, the guides couldn't do anything about it.

Superb evening on this private boat! The two people on board were exceptionally attentive. Thank you for this magnificent moment!

We had such a great time sailing the Tagus river (with wine!). Communication with the hosts was easy, our crew did the best to make the cruise an enjoyable experience, even though we had bad weather with rain and wind. Because of that, we didn‘t see the sunset, but instead had a perfect rainbow over the Ponte-bridge, which made it an even more unique experience. Apart from that you will have great views of the Belem-tower and the Jesus-statue. The crew supplied us with blankets and the wine glass was never empty. All in all I can totally recommend this activity to anyone wo wants to see Lisbon from a different perspective.

This was one of the highlights from our week in Lisbon! The captain and crew were amazing, it was a great laid back experience with unlimited green wine and some of the best views and photos from our trip.

Amazing, amazing, amazing experience. Probably one of the best in my life! Me and my girlfriend had a plesaure to meet Henrique and John (english version of name, we don't remember original one, sorry 😅🫣). They are amazing guys and amazing tourist guides! Highly recommended!

We loved it! Henri was a great host. The wine, views, and history was plentiful and so valuable to our visit to Lisbon!

To do without hesitation, a superb moment on this sailboat and another way to appreciate Lisbon.

Really enjoyed it. The trip and the experience was great. Was a highlight of the trip. ☺️

The guide João was so helpful, friendly and patient. He explained all the sights to us and even gave us snacks and a blanket for the ride (it was super windy). The boat itself was cozy and there were a total of 5 people on the boat. Fair warning: not all boats may have restrooms (but they were very clear about that)

Unfortunately there was no explanation of what we saw. There was no music or anything like that either. In addition, the explanation is misleading. The description of non-alcoholic drinks included only fits in the sense that there was a welcome drink. But only one drink. Everything else had to be paid for.

An absolutely perfect activity ! We enjoyed every moment of it, and we appreciated the many infos and advices given by our guide ! The crew was adorable and the view was amazing ✨️🩷

A very nice cruise with the most relaxed and yet very committed skipper. Cosy and friendly atmosphere I would recommend Pedro as the one to go with any time

Amazing, Miguel and Ricardo were superb guides, lovely views, blankets provided and plenty room on the boat thank you so much

Really lovely sunset cruise in Lisbon. The guides were really informative and friendly and the boat was beautiful.

Wonderful and perfectly safe for someone who is not confortable with deep waters.

Lovely boat and the crew were so friendly and informative. To see Lisbon from the river and to have someone tell you all about the history etc was so good. Then we got to see a few dolphins so fabulous. Would recommend.

comfortable boat trip with lots of information. Unfortunately the dolphins were on vacation.

We were picked up on time, but had to walk about 7-8 minutes to the boat, which might be a bit strenuous for people who can't walk very well. The trip was super relaxed, you really see a lot of Lisbon, especially the difference between "old" and "new". If you don't want to go to the south of Lisbon, you can also see the Cristo Rei (Jesus statue) very well from the boat and you can drive under the bridge. What I found a bit unfortunate was that we only stopped the boat for about 10 minutes to look for the dolphins, as the journey to the beginning of the sea was quite long. But as I said, you can see a lot of Lisbon.

Nice trip, with beautiful views of Lisbon. The chance of spotting dolphins seems very small to me on this trip. You sail through the river and at the transition to the ocean you almost immediately turn around, so we did not see any dolphins. Do you want to see dolphins? Book a speedboat tour. Do you want to see Lisbon and the surrounding area from the water? Book this tour! Definitely recommended.

Do not do in winter as there is little chance of seeing dolphins at this time. According to the guide they can be seen from April during the breeding period because they come closer.

Great experience despite the weather not being good. The team is very friendly and the atmosphere is festive.

We were told to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled time. No one was there to greet us until 5 minutes after the scheduled departure time. We were worried that we were scammed or they weren’t going to show. They ended up combining different tours of different values. Overall, it was ok but we didn’t sign up for the music/ dancing cruise and the music was too loud .

amazing sunset, great tunes and a cool way to see some landmarks..

Top team and captain, the cruise was very pleasant with a free drink, it was very beautiful

This trip was fantastic and was the highlight of our time in Lisbon. The staff were great and the drinks were very affordable. The music was great too. The trip was a lot of fun and is definitely worth doing whilst in Lisbon. Such great value for money.

It was incredible experience Definitely recommend it Kudos to the crew

Very pleasant time, everything was there to have a good time. The captain took the time to show us the monuments and the sunset. THANKS

The crew was absolutely amazing! It was our friend’s birthday and the crew went above and beyond! They played the music we requested and the drinks were amazing! We got some blankets once the sun was down and the views were magical. This experience was the highlight of the night ❤️ thank you the crew!!!!

It was really impeccable, friendly staff, good musical atmosphere and varied aperitif available. The sunset was simply exceptional!

This was a very enjoyable sailing tour on a catamaran. The crew was nice and friendly and we had excellent views of the Belem Tower, Monument of the Discoveries and Lisbon. As this was the short (1 hour) tour, we sailed past the bridge toward Lisbon and then quickly turned back, but it was an hour very well spent and very enjoyable. We were with kids (aged 8 & 10) and had no issues. Perhaps it was better that we took the short tour considering that the kids had no time to get bored! We were lucky with the weather too, which helped make this an excellent experience. I would highly recommend.

I would recommend this tour. The crew, Jao and Bruno were exceptional. They were very hospitable and knowledgeable- just as we had come to expect of the wonderful people of Portugal. The sail boat was comfortable and Jao was very accommodating for picture taking. I can’t say enough good about them. I booked this tour because of the reviews so you won’t be disappointed if you choose this one.

An excellent experience, as listed by others. The enthusiasm and knowledge by the crew was fantastic, as were the sights and sounds experienced on the boat. Blankets once the sun had set and things got a little chilly were very welcome, overall a memorable and highly recommended experience.

We did this as a family of 5 with 3 kids ages 8, 10, 13. Process was very organized! Boat was excellent - clean, lots of room, a bathroom, blankets, and a fun hammock net over the water that the kids loved. Crew was nice and friendly! One drink was included which was enjoyable, plus you could buy additional. Slight downside was that this was “sightseeing” only - no verbal explanations of what we were looking at unless you asked crew specifically, but I think this was mentioned in description.

We enjoyed the sailing trip. It was a nice way to spend couple of hours in Lisbon, while hearing about life there and Portugal in general from a wonderful captain. This is a great activity for a family with younger kids who will need a little break from walking and enjoy seeing the town from the river. We would do this again.

A very good time on the sailboat at sunset, the view of the city and the monuments from Belém to Lisbon are superb! The crew on the boat is particularly welcoming, and offers a drink to enjoy the experience even more! I highly recommend this activity (suitable for all ages and small groups or families), thank you to the two Franciscos for their contagious good humor and their touristic explanations along the ride!

One of the best things I did while in Lisbon. Such a great way to see the sights along the river from a different perspective. Crew were very friendly and helpful. The catamaran was spacious and clean. While technically there was no guide, the crew were happy to answer any questions, so we could just relax and enjoy the views and the sailing.

Spontaneously, because the sun ☀️ still promised a lot, we booked the experience. We set off with a bit of a delay. DJ's music was very good - we liked it. Past the sights, where we stopped specifically to take photos. 2 bachelorette farewells created an exuberant atmosphere. We were able to take beautiful pictures and enjoyed our time on board.

Easy to find the pier. Easy check in and wait. Boat on time. Plenty of seats. Good crowd. Nice cruise down river under Golden Gate and beyond then back. Great views. First drinks free and early, subsequent drinks paid. DJ just twiddled the nobs but good Brazilian playlist. Nice start to our short break in Lisbon. (City center walking tour next morning). Outstanding.

Would highly recommend this. It was the perfect ending to our amazing holiday.

absolutely stunning. the dj was so much fun and had great energy. the scenery was incredible.

The activity started late, and the boat is rather small, but it's a really nice cruise along the river. The music and the atmosphere is very fun, and the drinks are cheap.

The best, the sunset on the river and the music during the tour. The boat is quite old and the variety of drinks is quite limited for the price you pay.

This is a lovely two hour cruise with champagne and snacks. Nigel the boat captain is a great guy, very accommodating, as was the other staff member on the boat. It was chilly by the time the sun was setting because our cruise was from 7 to 9 PM and they even had blankets on board. All around Great activity. Low-key, nice sites to see, drink champagne on the river,

We booked on the basis of previous reviews. It didn’t disappoint and was the highlight of our 4 day trip in Lisbon. Really Lovely chaps who gave an informative experience of where to go/what to do. Would 100% recommend and we would rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you!

The tour was amazing! Everything was perfectly planned from start to finish. The team, Nigel and Fernando, were approachable, well organized and took excellent care of us. There were detailed explanations of all kinds, we were allowed to move freely on the ship and were well entertained. Both have individually adapted to the different guests, so that the trip was more than successful. It was an unforgettable highlight of our trip to Lisbon! Greetings from Kristin and Sandra

Nigel & Rui are class acts and spoil you with an evening of champagne, snacks & beautiful views of sunset on the river. Highly recommend this activity if you travel to Lisbon. Eat dinner at one of the great restaurants at the marina before you sail too. This is a must-do for your visit.

Superb service. Small group experience. Fernando, our captain was laid back, informative and great company.. the snacks were served warm and delicious, bottomless bubbly and white wine were great compliment. An excellent way to just sit back and chill without a care in the world.

This was exactly what I needed! A relaxing sail with delicious wine and snacks, a great company. It’s a great way to get a full view of the city from the river and view beautiful landmarks. The captain and crew were super gracious and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!

Relaxed excursion in a small group. Well looked after by Teresa. A different perspective on the city.

A very nice experience. Warm welcome by Teresa who provides all the information. We learn lots of things. Gorgeous views at sunset. To do without hesitation!

exceptional cruise I recommend 100%, the tasting board magnificently good nothing to say negative everything is good and beautiful!

correct boat service, on the other hand how sad the landscapes apart from 3 main monuments, otherwise disused buildings, oil plant flooding the landscape, surrounding noises (boats, rails, cars) not allowing you to let yourself go during this short cruise. Frankly the price does not need the candle as we say at home

Very nice sailing trip into the sunset with two very nice and relaxed skippers. We recommend.

It was just beautiful and I would do something like this again. The cheese and ham snack along with the wine were great, there is enough space on the boat to relax and enjoy. The views of Lisbon are beautiful the staff is really nice and makes you feel comfortable. Recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon and wanting to spend 2 pleasant hours along the Tagus River.

Super relaxed - great weather! Great evening atmosphere on the sea! A pleasant amount of good drinks and a fine aperitif.

A very beautiful sunset on the Tagus accompanied by an aperitif. These 2 hours were simply incredible! Thank you for this moment!

very nice activity. the skippers take great care and the sunset is very nice.

A beautiful evening, and fascinating to see Lisbon from the water. Our sailing boat was so clean and comfortable, and our hosts looked after us well. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cruise around the Tejo river! Isaac was so knowledgeable and the captain was super nice. I would 100% recommend!

We had the absolute most amazing time, thanks so much for being so friendly and kind. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Incredible value for money to enjoy the sunset on a nice sailboat with a few other strangers who were also there to just have a relaxing time. Thanks a lot!!

So lovely to be on a beautiful boat and not a party boat! Lovely guide with information on sights. Great value for the money!

We had the best evening! Miguel and Victor were super lovely and made our evening rewally enjoyable. They played a little Arctic Monkeys which made the evening they much better and they were overall just such great people to converse with. Would defo love to come back for another sunset boat trip!! Also we spoke about a festival that happens each year in Lisbon but cannot tenner the band - please remind us if you can!

Lovely time on the river watching the sunset. I have done two sunset cruises in Lisbon, and this one was my favourite. What made this one special were the hosts. Rodrigo and Miguel were our hosts and made us feel very comfortable. They gave us blankets and were attentive to everyone on the boat to ensure everyone was having enjoyable journeys. Would definitely recommend the sunset cruise with this company.

A great activity to end the day. Thiago and Victor very attentive and with great cultural knowledge. A very entertaining ride. 100% recommendable!

Magical, fun and memorable. An unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.

Too bad to have had two guides who spoke English even if we were able to communicate in broken English for them as for us. Good to know any bottle opened will have to be paid in full regardless of the number of glasses consumed.

Despite the not perfect weather, a great tour. Absolutely recommended. Nice guides, great boat, fair prices

This was by far the best experience we had during our stay in Lisbon! Our guides were absolutely fantastic. The views were beautiful and we took in so much information. This is the top company and activity I would recommend to someone visiting. Thank you thank you thank you!

Great sail. It was actually very cold that night,, but that's out of control of anyone. Guides were fantastic, very knowledgeable, had a great time. The engine runs the entire time the sails are up, so you do hear that noise. You are sailing but was told the river current is so strong that they leave it going for safety.

Great cruise. Gabriel was fantastic told us lots of fun facts and history. We were also lucky the fog cleared and we were able to get a great view.

Average. Guide could have been better. I feel a lot was lost is translations.

We had a great time. Our top-notch and funny guide. Driving around Lisbon and then finding yourself on the water. It was great. We recommend this excursion. My daughter loved it too even if she didn't really understand the explanations in English.

It's okay, just that the guides keep talking the whole way, they're nice and they do their job well, and it's too childish, the tour is okay.

Really nice ! To do with the children! Maria and Pascal (we think that's her first name! We don't have good Portuguese!) were really very friendly and created a great atmosphere!

We've had a lot of fun. The guide and driver are very friendly. They have greatly encouraged the journey. Highly recommended excursion.

Very interesting, fun and cultural activity with the humor and cheerfulness of our guide Douce. There was a very good atmosphere on the bus. We are French living in Portugal and we will introduce our little family to this activity. Big kisses to Douce.

I did a similar tour about a month ago and I thought it was pretty good but this one raised the bar. The guide was just amazing and full of information. She also had a great sense of humor. The winery's chosen where great and so beautiful. The lunch provided was family style at this restaurant above a fire station. There was plenty of food and wine and it was well presented.

Great tour and great guide!! My husband and I had a great time. The wineries we visited were so nice and fun, the wines were so delicious, the lunch place was delicious and beautiful, and the views the guide took us to were amazing. The small group tour was the best. The guide's talk was so fun, and we learned Portugal history, culture and economy through his talk. We just had a wonderful time, thank you so much!! Also, before the tour, the company communicated with me quickly and responded to my questions, which was very helpful.

We had an amazing day, starting with our guide Rodrigo being right on time to pick us up. There was a total of 8 people on the tour - a full van, and so much better than a large tour bus. Rodrigo provided a lot of interesting commentary on the way out to the Douro Valley. The first stop of the morning was at a beautiful little vineyard where we had a "second breakfast" (as the tour operator will tell you, eat breakfast before getting picked up because it takes about 90 minutes to get out to the valley). The "second breakfast" included a tasting of some olive oil, red and white wine, and some olives, bread and sausages. We also got to visit the vineyard's operations and cellars, which were beautiful. The views were amazing! From there, we had a short drive to a village along the river where we embarked on a boat tour. Seeing the Douro from the water was majestic! The last stop was in another village in the hills where we had an amazing meal and tastings. Great value for the money!

If you dont do this for any other reason, you do this for the scenery. I have been to Italy numerous times, and this is more magnificent. We went with a group that were not wine aficionados, but were glad they went, as the area and the history was the main event. Our guide Lola, was stellar!

I didn't really know what to expect from this tour, but it was so much better than I could have imagined! The tour was so amazing, our host, Violet, was so welcoming and warm and she made the tour a really great experience! She always made sure that we were all okay and accommodated all of us. Great day, even better wine and the knowledge given was well worth every penny! It's a must!

The tour was very well organized. We were picked up at the hotel perfectly on time. After a short stop for a coffee it went to the first wine estate, where we could taste 2 Rosé, white and red wines. Also the olive oil and 3 kinds of honey were delicious. As an added bonus, we were able to taste 2 port wines, which was actually not foreseen, but was still heartily offered. Along the way, the very friendly guide Felipe had shared interesting information about the Douro Valley. The welcome at the winemaker was professional, but above all cordial. Then we took a boat trip of about an hour on the Douro along the vineyards. Then it went to the 2nd wine estate where we were served white and red wine for lunch and after a short tour we could taste 5 port wines. The visitors always get the opportunity to buy, but without pressure. Overall a very nice and relaxing tour well worth the money.

I really enjoyed the whole tour especially tasting various wines. Our guide Marco was very warm-hearted and friendly so the atmosphere of our group was awesome. Visiting douro valley was amazing and peaceful moment that I’d expected. I want to visit here again on September:) In my opinion, I’m strongly recommend this tour!

Our guide, Pedro (apologies for not knowing his name in Portuguese!) was knowledgeable, friendly, informative and good company. Even on a wet, grey day, the valley was beautiful and worth visiting. The tastings were high quality and generous, as was the typical Portuguese lunch. We would definitely recommend this tour.

This was an amazing tour with a wonderful guide. Our small group visited a small winery that also made olive oil where we found out about how to make olive oil and sampled their wines. A boat tour of the Duoro River was followed by a wonderful home-cooked meal at a family establishment. In the afternoon, we visited a family winery where we learned about the making of port and sampled many types of port wine. A totally satisfying day.

We had Violetta as our guide in a small group of 8 (4 of us and 4 others who were all very easy to get along with) and she was amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly and fun.. The stops were fantastic, the wine, port, views, and food all great and the tour was perfectly paced. The optional boat ride was also well worth the small amount of extra money. Highly recommended by us!

The tour was a lot of fun. The only real issue we had was that it was very difficult to hear the driver as we sat in the back of the van and we had three large adults in the rear seats with little leg room. Lunch was a nice restaurant with good service but the food was mediocre . The wineries were very interesting and informative and the wine and cheese is served were delicious

Wonderful day to spend on this tour - had a lot of fun drinking, eating, and learning so much about wine, olive oil, and port production. Best part is that all the wineries are family owned businesses. Oh yeah, there's also some ridiculously good-looking views of the the Douru valley too if you're into that ;) Thank you to our amazing guide Alex - he knows the Douro region (and the roads!) like the back of his hand.

Felipe was outstanding guide for From Porto Douro River Tour 9 hours. Knowledge expert professionally relevant to being a guide, safe efficient driver, personable, sense of humour. 9 of us in group was perfect size. Best ports, wines, lunch, 1 hour cruise on Douro River, best and different tasting olive oil tasting and honeys. Had the best wine ever not available in Canada but can purchase on site. Amazing products and informative education. In addition Felipe arranged for me to attend 1 hour Fado show in Porto before leaving for my restaurant dinner reservation. Thank you Felipe. We were all so grateful you were our guide.

Very nice tour and Patricia the tour guide was professional, very knowledgeable and communicative. We loved that we could sit down, relax and be driven to all the places without thinking and every experience was amazing and authentic. Thank you for a great day.

Thiago was a amazing tour guide. From start to finish the professionalism and execution of the whole day was flawless. His interaction with all guests no matter the language was great. Really bringing the whole experience together. Thank you and I’ll be come back for sure. One of the most beautiful places I’ve been in Portugal.

A couple of weeks ago I experienced Portugal Excellence Tours’ full-day wine trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone. It was a small group tour, consisting of eight of us plus our guide, Marcio. Being in a smaller group helps it feel more personalized and enjoyable. The day began around 8:20 when Marcio picked me up at my Porto hotel in a nice, air-conditioned van. Marcio is very knowledgeable on the area, as well wines (except maybe US wines, but of course, we are in Europe) and the wine making process. He was an excellent host and guide. In all, we visited three wineries (two tastings and one for lunch), and we also had a chance to taste olive oil and honey - excellent! It was a very fun day! Just do it!

My partner and I we wanted to do something nice eith his parents in Porto. Today we did the tour with Tiago and had a wonderful experience. Tiago was so attentive, friendly and saw to all our needs. We loved the guided informative tours of both the vineyards and the boat trip was so relaxing and a feast for our eyes. We then went on to our lunch stop in Sabrosa which was out of this world the food was tasty and views were spectacular. We would definetely recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in a relaxing day out soaking up the best that the Duoro Valley has to offer, great views, great Porto, great wine and food. Muito obrigada!!! :

We loved our tour. Our guide Tiago was great! He explained us many facts and curiosities about the region. The visit to the first wine yard was beautiful! The views were just stunning and the Porto wine delicious. Gorgeous and interesting at the same time. Lunch was great too, with a wonderful view. We didn’t like the last vineyard as much and my opinion this should be changed. There were no views or opportunity to walk through the vineyards. It was not interesting as the other one and guide from there wasn’t very knowledgeable. But overall the tour was great. I would just change the last vineyard.

This was a nice day. I enjoy the small group experience. Our guide knew a lot about the area and was a pleasure to talk with. My only wish was that the boat ride had been a smaller boat with less people and it would have been nice not to have windows. The lunch was great and the tastings were so much fun.

The company contacted me the day before, picked me up from the hotel. Clear explanation of the day's program, and all happened as expected. Nice group of travellers (7). A good route and excellent speakers at each venue. The guide Guillermo was easy to follow, but knew when to stop talking, and he was interested in the passengers. I had a lovely day, as a solo traveller.

Amazing excursion. Very interactive and interesting. We’ve been introduced to wine and port wine making process and afterwards had opportunity to try local wines and products. Special thanks to our guide Guillermo who told us a lot of interesting facts about this region and the whole country itself. Also, we really enjoyed our small group as it gave us more personal touch with each group member. Lunch was very delicious and we’ve been breath-taken by the views during our river ride.

Four of us took the tour on October 15, 2021 through the Douro Valley. We met two other couples who were in our van on the same tour and we had a tremendous day together. Our guide was Patricia and she was absolutely amazing. Her English is impeccable and she is very informative and entertaining. It was a perfect mix of wineries, the lunch was excellent, the boat cruise was lovely and the views were fantastic. Two of us have spent lots of time both in Portugal and also in the Douro Valley. We (and our guests) thought this was a perfect day to get a flavour of this part of Portugal.

I would highly recommend booking. Our guide Patricia from Portugal Excellence Tours was awesome and very knowledgeable about Porto and the wine industry but also Portugal as a whole. She went out her way to make us feel comfortable and to alleviate our concerns as we where traveling during Covid.

This winery tour of the Douro Valley was MUCH better than expected. Our guide, Hugo, was very informative, caring, and navigated the tricky roads with ease. The whole experience was planned to provide education and enjoyment for all. We walked into a vineyard and learned about the grape vines and varieties, explored vintage grape stomping and processing rooms, and tasted amazing varieties. Lunch was prepared in the most beautiful and idyllic setting. You will not regret booking this tour. Thank you, Hugo! - Bob & Sandy
