We enjoyed tour with variety of qine testing. Tour guide, Thomas explained history of Porto and economy and industry of Porto. It was insightful. Also a driver Carlos drives very gentle and make the long journey comfortable. Food was good and only thing I would like to mention about a quality of coffee. I didn't drink coffee after a bit of test the coffee and noticed other partisans didn't finish the coffee. Overall a good experience and worth to join the tour.

This was the first cathedral I saw in Portugal, and it was absolutely wonderful! It rained in the morning, so it was a bit cloudy initially, which made the view a little disappointing. However, after a while, the weather cleared up and it was cool, making the observatory tower view truly spectacular, haha. The bell sounds were also magnificent, and when I entered around 10:30 AM in late August, there was a moderate crowd, which was nice :) For reference, the cathedral is located uphill, so I recommend taking a tram or bus to São Bento Station and then walking up, haha.

Our guide Jose Perreira was warm and friendly. he did a good job sharing about wine history of the Duora region, and quite informative about agriculture like olives and the negative effects of the eucalyptus trees to native species. Love educational info on port wine vs table wine getting a better understanding of the different port wine varieties. Enjoyed the wine tasting and the relaxing cruise!

It is a very nice and peaceful trip. The local tour company, Living Tours Company, is very reliable. Our tour guide, Orlando, is very friendly, informative and helpful. He drove safely and gave us stories all along the way to Coimbra and Fatima. We had a wonderful day.
