We met the group at the base of the bridge on the Porto side of the river. We were introduced to our tour guide, Margarida, and she led us across the bridge to the first of three Port Houses. Firstly, Margarida was spectacular, a knowledgeable and charismatic woman, and a lot of fun. The first place we went to had a museum, which was interesting, and we also saw the barrels in the basement and learned about how Porto is made. We had two glasses of Port there. The next place was a bar, and we had 2 more glasses of Port. But the final stop was truly a gem. We had three tastings at Vasquez de Carvalho, and it was the best Port we ever had. An employee of that place, Patrice, explained the wines to us, along with Margarita, and she was very passionate about the Port. Overall, a great tour, generous amounts of Port, a great value and a lot of fun. Highly recommended!”

Lucas, our guide for the tour, was very amusing, knowledgeable and informative. We started at the Ponte Luis I crossing the Douro River on foot to Gaia. Visiting three port houses all close to each other, we experienced the cellars in which the massive barrels of port are stored and sampled seven different ports, both single harvest and blended white, tawny and ruby ports. A really enjoyable way to spend four hours learning the history of port wines, tasting a range of ports and getting to know he members of our group. Thank you Lucas!”

The Tour was great. I wish Margarita (pronounced Margarida) could follow me around life and explain everything to me with the same passion she has for Port Wine. Margarita really made the tour and everything about it great. We learned about Port wine and its importance to Porto and it's history. The hefty portions of wine were great too.”

Great tour of wine lodges in Porto! We really liked the set up of the tour: learned about Porto and its history first, then drank many different types of port, then ended the tour on a beautiful rooftop bar that served port cocktails. Would highly recommend!”

Booked two days before with Viator. David met us at the bridge and was helpful from the start. Communicated well to the whole group and really looked after us all. Interesting tour of the A. Ramos Pinto port wine museum. A short walk through Gaia to another lodge and we then had a professional tasting lesson. Tasted a mixture of 7 different ports, which were delightful. David had a lot of knowledge about the history of the Gaia lodges and the ports.”

This tour was great! Our guide, David, was funny and knowledgeable and really made the tour a huge hit. We did another walking tour later on with another guide from this tour group, Porto Walkers, and it is clear that this tour company makes a big effort to hire not only knowledgeable, but also entertaining, guides.”

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We are seniors who got a little mixed up and showed up for our tour on the wrong day. I think the fellow's name was Nunes, was SO NICE! There were still two spots left on the tour we showed up for and he fit us in. We simply can't thank him enough! This tour was so much fun! We met people from all over the world and learned a lot about port from our tour leader David. Such a good experience. We will be booking with Viator again!”

If you're going to be in Porto you need to do the walking tour of the Port Wine Lodges in Gaia! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable not only about the lodges but also about the Port Wines. The tasting event that he conducted was very professional and accurate!”
