The tour guide was very friendly, the explanations were easy to understand, the atmosphere of the group was also very good, the winery chosen was very special and not an ordinary big winery brand, I highly recommend participating!

Didn't expect the tour to be this much fun! Our tour guide, Cuber and driver Franco, were really nice as well as the group. The tour in the vineyard was very interesting and the wine tasting was lovely. The lunch was also very delicious. The river cruise was relaxing. Overall, it was really worth the money!

Our guide Dani was very professional, he gave us lots of information about the sites and gave us all the health and safety instructions. The Arouca 516 footbridge was fun very bouncy, you can see the beautiful water fall and river underneath. The boat ride in Aveiro was like in little Venice. We feel safe and enjoyed all the activities. The lunch was yummy plenty of food and drinks, we have wine and water; we have local starter, main course, desert and coffee, enough for everyone. Highly recommended.

Great event at a convenient location. My first Fado experience and I am really impressed with the two Fado singers and the two Fado guitarists. The theater is small enough so that you can have a very close view of the performance. well worth the time and money.
