I cannot say enough good things about our full day tour with Pedro in the Douro Valley! It turned out that my husband and I were the only people on the tour that day, so we got a very personalized experience. Here are some of the many positive things I can say about Pedro: he is super knowledgeable and clearly very proud of his northern Portuguese heritage. We not only learned a lot about port wine production, but also many things about the history of this wonderful country.
We never felt rushed (despite my constantly stopping to take pictures), and there was plenty of down time during the day. Pedro has a fabulous, comfortable Mercedes Van. He’s a great driver. The lunch meal he arranged for us was delicious and plentiful! We got to taste two different port wines as well as white and red table wines.
We appreciated that he respected some of the food restrictions we had told him about.
My husband and I have travelled quite a bit in our lives, and we both felt that the Douro Valley was one of the most beautiful places we had ever been to. I know that our experience there was greatly enhanced by spending the day with Pedro.
