I picked this tour... - I picked this tour instead of the Douro wine valley and was not disappointed. The guide Hernan was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking for something other than tasting wine.

If you only do one tour while in Porto this is the one to do - Great tour. This tour is a must. We loved George. So knowledgeable about both villages with a great sense of humor. His knowledge the history and any myths were definitely resolved. Thank you George for making our day perfect. I do agree a full day for each village would be wonderful. Both were beautiful and unique in their own way. If you only do one tour while in Porto, this is the one to and of course George is the guide you need to make it even more memorable.

Churchquest - Pedro Maria Garcia Ronaldo, was a great guide. Very entertaining. Drives like an F1 driver while turning his head to talk to people in the back of the van. Great lunch spot as well.

Good driver but too many people. - The small group we thought was for four of us. We were wrong there were 8 passengers in this vehicle. Not comfortable for that many people. The driver - tour guide was very nice and was a very good driver. Also when we paid all that money we expected to be picked up at our door as add said.. We were one minute from bridge on Vila de Nova Gaia side. We had to walk across the bridge in the rain and wait for driver who had to park a block from the bridge on Porto side due to heavy traffic. We think the add should make it more clear on pickup and numbers in small group. Thankfully our driver-tour guide was great and very knowledgable and that made it better.
