Paisagens deslumbrantes! Muito bom. No entanto, quanto ao almoço não posso avaliar da mesma forma, só havia carne de porco, acabei comendo vegetariano, batata e repolho, acredito que deveriam haver opções para que o cliente pudesse escolher. De resto, tudo maravilhoso! Translate this opinion into English.

Stunning landscapes! Very good. However, as for lunch I cannot evaluate it in the same way, there was only pork, I ended up eating vegetarian, potatoes and cabbage, I believe there should be options for the customer to choose from. Otherwise, everything was wonderful! Opinion translated. Show original.

La visite s’est très bien déroulée ,le guide Philippe excellent donnant des indications précises et répondant pertinemment à nos questions .Cependant la publicité est mensongère quant il est indiqué qu’on passera vous prendre à l’hôtel et ensuite on vous répond que c’est impossible ce n’est pas professionnel.La croisière sur le Douro est très appréciable,dommage que le personnel à bord manque de chaleur,même pas bonjour ni au revoir et également manque d’indications.Merci Philippe.

Nous avons confirmé que, pour des raisons de disponibilité, il n'a pas été possible de venir vous chercher. Nous sommes désolés que l'expérience n'ait pas été à la hauteur de vos espérances à cet égard. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié la visite malgré cela.

Passeio excelente. Fomos com o Guia Arnaldo, que diga de passagem merece nota 11. Atencioso, explicou muitas coisas (tem uma bagagem cultural grande), dirigiu de forma exemplar, foi gentil e atencioso. Passeio com tempo de apreciar os locais visitados. Almoço excelente, com vinho da casa a vontade. Degustação final de vinho do Porto ótima! Recomendo demais.

Fue una excursión muy completa, con lugares preciosos (la bodega, el río Duero, la finca en la que comimos...) David, nuestro excelente guía, se dedicó en cuerpo y alma al grupo, explicando todos los elementos del viaje. Es una persona muy competente en este trabajo de guía y, resuelve con diligencia y profesionalidad, cualquier imprevisto que pueda pasar en una excursión para que los clientes tengan una experiencia inolvidable. Muchas gracias, David. Y el grupo también era muy majo. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a very complete excursion, with beautiful places (the winery, the Duero River, the farm where we ate...) David, our excellent guide, dedicated himself body and soul to the group, explaining all the elements of the trip. He is a very competent person in this guide job and resolves with diligence and professionalism any unforeseen event that may happen on an excursion so that clients have an unforgettable experience. Thanks a lot, David. And the group was also very nice. Opinion translated. Show original.

Estupenda, bien guiados por nuestro guía Antonio y llevados por nuestro chófer Orlando. Ambos hicieron de nuestra excursión una experiencia agradable y divertida. Éramos los dos únicos españoles del grupo y estuvieron pendientes de nosotros y de que estuviéramos siempre informados, sin perder detalle de nada. El crucero y la visita a la bodega perfectos y la comida genial, en el exterior de otra bodega muy acogedora, con unas vistas privilegiadas. Orlando nos amenizó con buena música el trayecto Translate this opinion into English.

Great, well guided by our guide Antonio and taken by our driver Orlando. They both made our excursion a fun and enjoyable experience. We were the only two Spaniards in the group and they were aware of us and that we were always informed, without missing a thing. The perfect cruise and visit to the winery and great food, outside another very cozy winery, with privileged views. Orlando entertained us with good music on the way Opinion translated.

Todo ha ido muy bien. Hemos sido 8 en el grupo por lo que ha sido muy familiar y divertido. Y nuestro guía Pedro Cardoso nos ha explicado un montón de cosas y ha sido muy a tento. Lo mejor de la excursión ha sido la visita a Amarante y ver el paisaje desde el mirador de Calafura Translate this opinion into English.

Everything has gone very well. We have been 8 in the group so it has been very familiar and fun. And our guide Pedro Cardoso has explained a lot of things to us and has been very attentive.

Tour muito bem organizado, com um guia super atencioso (Joao). Almoço gostoso num restaurante com uma bela vista - próximo ao mirante de Galafura. Trajeto feito por pontos lindíssimos. A visita à quinta da Roeda é muito interessante mas um detalhe que do meu ponto de vista poderia ficar ainda melhor seria incluir a degustação de azeites e alguns queijos, torradinhas e um docinho para acompanhar os vinhos. Translate this opinion into English.

Very well organized tour, with a super attentive guide (Joao). Delicious lunch at a restaurant with a beautiful view - close to the Galafura viewpoint. Path made by beautiful points. The visit to Quinta da Roeda is very interesting but one detail that, from my point of view, could be even better would be to include the tasting of olive oils and some cheeses, toast and a sweet to accompany the wines.

Tour muy recomendable, tanto por los lugares que visitas (muy bonitos) como por la guía y el chofer (María y Joao), se merecen un 9,5 sobre 10. No así la empresa que lo organiza Living Tours (Gray Line). Tratándose de un tour caro solicitado en castellano, nos pusieron en un autocar de 30 personas de las que solo 4 hablábamos en castellano y el resto en inglés. Dado el precio, la empresa tenía que haber avisado antes, y dar la opción de cambiar de día o de retornar el dinero. Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended tour, both for the places you visit (very beautiful) and for the guide and driver (María and Joao), they deserve a 9.5 out of 10. Not so the company that organizes Living Tours (Gray Line). Being an expensive tour requested in Spanish, they put us in a coach of 30 people of which only 4 spoke Spanish and the rest in English. Given the price, the company should have notified before, and give the option to change the day or return the money. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour es de los mejores que hemos hecho. Diría que es imprescindible hacerlo. Ver el paisaje del valle del Duero y sus viñedos es algo maravilloso. Imposible explicarlo con palabras. El almuerzo incluído estuvo muy bueno. El restaurante en un lugar hermoso, con una vista espectacular. Luego la visita al viñedo, la cata de vinos estuvo muy buena. Y al final el crucero por el Duero maravilloso! Nuestro guía fue Elder, ha sido excelente! Muy recomendable! Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is one of the best we've ever done. I would say that it is essential to do so. Seeing the landscape of the Douro Valley and its vineyards is something wonderful. Impossible to explain it with words. The included lunch was very good. The restaurant in a beautiful place, with a spectacular view. Then the visit to the vineyard, the wine tasting was very good. And at the end the wonderful Douro cruise! Our guide was Elder, he has been excellent! Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Le guide était plein de bonne volonté, très gentil et à l’écoute mais il manque fortement de vocabulaire français. C’est très dommage car on se lasse vite de l’écouter Faites en sorte qu’il évolue dans le bon sens, donnez-lui des cours Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was full of good will, very nice and attentive but he lacks a lot of French vocabulary. It's a shame because you quickly get tired of listening to it Make sure it evolves in the right direction, give it lessons Opinion translated. Show original.

Our trip to the Douro valley from Porto was very well-organised, well-lead, informative, and extremely enjoyable. Our guide, Mario, was truly excellent, with wonderful repartee and good answers to questions. and our driver, Silvino, was also exemplary, since he guided us away from traffic delays (caused by some accident) on our way back to Porto, thereby saving us at least an hour sitting in stationary traffic. All in all, a really good tour which I'd strongly recommend to anyone interested.

Muy dinámica y entretenida, lo recomiendo para los amantes del vino y sus orígenes. Necesitan mejorar en hacer grupos homogéneos en cuanto al lenguaje, todos los viajes con civitatis pasa lo mismo, el guía se sorprende cuando se da cuenta que son grupos de distinta habla.

Very dynamic and entertaining, I recommend it for lovers of wine and its origins. They need to improve in making groups homogeneous in terms of language, the same thing happens on all trips with civitatis, the guide is surprised when he realizes that they are groups of different speech.

Our family of seven enjoyed the one day tour of the Douro valley. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, and very friendly. The tour picked us up at the designated spot on time. Drop off was a little late, due to traffic. We went in mid October. It was cloudy, but it didn't rain, and the scenery was spectacular. Would recommend to anyone that wants to see Douro Valley.

Région du douro vaut le détour mais trop peu de commentaires pour la mettre en valeur et peu d’explications en français la dégustation de vin de Porto est super mais choquante par le gaspillage d’un si précieux breuvage Une prise en charge à mon hébergement était prévue et je n’ai pas eu la moindre compensation comme prévu pour m’être rendu aux locaux de l’agence comme cela m’a été demandé

I travelled with my partner

Nous avons confirmé que faute de pouvoir accéder à la zone où se trouvait votre hôtel, le prestataire de l'activité vous a demandé de vous rendre au point de rendez-vous situé à quelques minutes de là. Malgré cela, nous comprenons que ce n'était pas ce que vous aviez prévu dans votre contrat et nous avons procédé au remboursement de la différence de prix avec l'excursion sans prise en charge.

Esta experiencia ha sido espectacular. El recorrido en barco por el Duero una maravilla, la cata de vinos súper interesante y unas vistas que te dejan sin aliento. La comida estaba muy buena. Además, nuestra guía María es encantadora y sus explicaciones geniales. Estaba pendiente de que todos pasáramos un buen rato. Recomiendo este tour muchísimo, sobre todo si el tiempo acompaña (como ha sido en nuestro caso). Translate this opinion into English.

This experience has been spectacular. The boat trip on the Duero is wonderful, the super interesting wine tasting and views that leave you breathless. The food was very good. In addition, our guide María is charming and her explanations are great. He was waiting for us all to have a good time. I highly recommend this tour, especially if the weather is good (as it has been in our case). Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo muy correcto, la guía "MARIA" excepcional, atenta pendiente de todo en cada momento. Tres puntos a mencionar: -La hora de la comida muy temprano, a la 13.00h, pero muy bien organizada. -La visita a la bodega muy testimonial, por parte del personal de la misma no demostraron mucho interés en la presentación. Podría ser a causa del calor que hacia el día de la visita. -El paseo en barco seria interesante que la acompañaran con un audio explicativo, se hace muy aburrido el recorrido. Translate this opinion into English.

All very correct, the exceptional guide "MARIA", attentive to everything at all times. Three points to mention: -Lunch time very early, at 1:00 p.m., but very well organized. -The visit to the very testimonial winery, by the staff of the same did not show much interest in the presentation. It could be because of the heat on the day of the visit. -The boat ride would be interesting if you accompanied it with an explanatory audio, the tour becomes very boring. Opinion translated.

Las dos primeras partes visita Amarante y Galafua excelente, la bodega muy buen ,el servicio y la atención muy bien, pero el crucero por el río en Pinhao a 42 grados sin avisar y sin aire acondicionado ni agua debió suspenderse o ser de libre elección, tuvimos un golpe de calor

The first two parts visit Amarante and Galafua excellent, the winery very good, the service and attention very good, but the cruise on the river in Pinhao at 42 degrees without warning and without air conditioning or water should have been suspended or be of free choice, we had a heat stroke

Nos alegra que disfrutaseis de Amarante y Galafua y que la atención estuviese a la altura. Sentimos mucho que el crucero por el río no se suspendiese y que sufrieseis un golpe de calor.
