One of the best tourist tours we ever did! Our guide Milena was amazing. She’s definitely enjoying what she’s doing and provided a perfect mix of information and entertainment. On the bus she started to tell us about the area we were passing through and the time flew by. Also as our driver Idalino did a great job and drove in a very secure style in the (sometimes) rather chaotic traffic. The tasting (wine, port wine and olive oil) at Touriga in Régua was very interesting and also here you can experience the passion of the shop owner for the products and history of the Douro valley. Lunch at “the river” next to Tourigo was very tasty (meat, fish and vegetarian option) and wine was constantly refilled. Afterwards short bus ride to the Kopke vineyard, which was also very informative and the views are just amazing. Tasting of another two port wine before we continued to Pinhao for the boat trip. Amazing views of the valley and another port on the boat. Thanks Milena&Lino for a great day!

The Fado show was excellent! All in all about 9 songs (3 by a male singer, 3 by a female and 3 duet) all accompanied by 2 guitars. We were in Lisbon last year and fado is way more popular there. More difficult to find a good show in Porto. We had booked the event for the music and were happily listening for ~ one hour. The tour prior to the show was great as well and very informative. But you need to make sure to stay close to the guide as the groups are pretty large. Also as this tour is part of the yellow bus 48 hour pass as well.

I could not recommend this class enough. Joana is so knowledgeable and an absolutely wonderful host! I went on a solo trip and the other guests were lovely. Would highly recommend for anyone in Porto.

very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. A good length of time to see the sites and was a fun experience.

Excellent performance, traditional fado at its best!
