We had an incredible experience with Maria Marabuto on Douro Valley Wine Tour. From the very start Maria was very informative about Porto and the Douro Valley. She told us about the six bridges starting near the mouth of the Douro and that pass through Porto and Gaia. Our first stop was the D'Origem located in Casal de Loivos where we were able to taste various wines and olive oils that is produced there. As I do not drink alcohol, I was offered a homemade grape juice which was so good that I am regretting I didn’t purchase some to bring home. Maria also explained how each vineyard would separate their property by planting olive trees. We also got to take a tour of the facility where the olive oil was produced. Our next stop was a boat ride along the Douro River where we saw various port and wine vineyards From there we stopped at a family-owned winery where a unique lunch menu was served along with wine and port pairings. Our final stop was in Amarante, where we sampled a delicious selection of cheeses and cured meats. What made this excursion memorable was Maria as at every place we stopped or drove by, she was able to provide us the history and unique stories that belong to them. I would highly recommend this tour and ensure to ask for Maria as you will not be disappointed!!!

Amazing sunset cruise experience - the hostess and captain were so welcoming, attentive, and hospitable. Our original plans got cancelled so we asked this tour if we could join 15 minutes before they left. Thank god our plans got cancelled:) We had the most romantic 2 hour cruise with a small, intimate group and we even saw dolphins and had multiple glasses of delicious iced tea and port tonic with snacks (a bowl of mixed corn and nuts). The hostess offered very helpful information and local tips, as well as checking up on us and taking pictures for us. We would recommend the sunset cruise to anyone:)
