The small group setting made the activity experience very happy and fulfilling! 👍🏽 The tour guide was also very attentive to each member of the group. The winery experience, including the guided tour and wine tasting, was not at all sloppy, making it a very happy afternoon activity! At the end of the activity, the tour guide enthusiastically recommended their own list of favorite Porto restaurants 😊. Overall, the activity has a very high cost-performance ratio and is highly recommended!

The house is very nice, with a small balcony offering a great view. The location is on a slope, which is a slight drawback. My room didn't have a washing machine, which was a little inconvenient, as I had to walk 8-10 minutes down a slope to the laundromat. The staff was very enthusiastic in their recommendations, and many places are within walking distance.

Great tour! Our tour guide, Rita, was funny, highly knowledgable, and an amazing guide overall. Have to commend our driver, Lucas, as well because despite all the curving and winding roads, it was a smooth ride all throughout. We visited three wineries, first was a small family-owned one, next was a big wine producer, then the last was where we had lunch with unlimited wine. Great value for money. We would happily go on this tour again and recommend it to others.

It was our first time experiencing Fado, and it was one of our favourite things from this trip to Portugal. We were able to enjoy the sunset on the rooftop before the show. What an amazing atmosphere and such talented artists. You can tell that they love their art. We even got a glass of port wine to enjoy while listening. highly recommend

A very comfortable trip. The tour leader was professional and gave detailed explanations. Riding a bicycle allowed us to easily enjoy the sights of Porto. It was an unforgettable travel experience.
