Marisa truly did put together a magical trip ...

Portugal | Sep 22 - Sep 25, 2025

Central location, great breakfast.

Perfect place to try Porto special dishes

Great way to learn about Porto and get the lay of the land

Food was great, but if you want to sit outside, best to just show up when it opens. (Reservations get seated inside.)

Nice to have a private driver, but would have liked to see a little more than just going back and forth from the winery.

The tour of the winery was great, but we only had a couple tastings and then had to sit there for 30 minutes waiting for lunch. The lunch was in a crowded room with other tourists. It was very impersonal, and our waiter was very rude- probably because he was overwhelmed with the amount of people he had to serve at once.

The captain was running behind, which was initially ok - we didn't mind waiting. But then our boat ride only lasted 40 minutes. We literally left the dock, did a short back and forth on the river, then came back to the dock. He gave us peanuts and one little glass of wine - he didn’t even offer to refill our glass, although he had opened up a new bottle of wine.
