Don Grillot9/18/2022We were staying in Porto, without a car, and wanted to see the Douro. Filipa organized a wonderful day for us. We visited two wineries, had a lovely outdoor lunch overlooking the Douro River, and had a fantastic driver and guide in Carlos. There was excellent communication from Catavino throughout. Would highly recommend using Catavino's services.read moreread less Maxwell Otte9/30/2022Stunning tour both from a history standpoint as a tour of downtown Porto. All the places we visited were amazing and we finished in "The Lab" which is a place that shows how much everyone involved loves to go deeper in the work they do. An amazing experience, can't recommend it enough. Thank you Catavino.read moreread less 
Paulo Prata6/17/2019 - This team is first class, they are knowledgeable of all areas of wine, and the Douro. If you are looking for something to do when in Porto I cant recommend their tours enough - first class. Many places here say they offer the authentic version of Porto, but rarely do - these tours go into places that others don't, they bust the myths of wine, Port and give you the real insights, show you the faces behind the wine. The tours offered here give you something that is unique, filled with passion and love for this wonderful city and surrounding areas.read moreread less
Anna Gunn6/19/2018My trip to Algarve and Lisbon Portugal was perfect because of Catavino. I had never been to Portugal and Catavino ensured I hit all the spots that fit with my interests and priorities. They were also a god send for last minute changes I needed. I had an injury shortly before the trip that hindered my mobility, and Lisbon is not a particularly accessible city. Ana was easy to reach via their app and always responsive and was able to ensure that I had accommodations I needed, and some same day changes for me meeting my tour group to reduce amount of walking I had to do. Truly a seamless picture perfect trip as a result of their guidance and assistance.read moreread less Michaela Noble9/08/2022Catavino offers the best in unique, personalized wine tourism.

They tailored our experience directly to our wants, and provided unparalleled hospitality and service. I could not recommend them enough! We will definitely be repeat clients upon our inevitable return to Portugal.read moreread less Charlie Bock9/28/2022
