larry getlin6/19/2018Do not hesitate, book with Catavino. We spent a week in Portugal, both in Porto and in the Duoro Valley, and every single moment was thoughtfully coordinated with a myriad of delightful, high-quality and gorgeous details. Each vineyard was one driven by passion for the people, land and true expression of the beautiful land, and each food destination represented the pride and excellence of the Portuguese people. Ryan, our guide and CEO of Catavino, was so informative, fun, and insightful. You could tell that each destination and relationship was built on mutual respect and love for the country we had the privilege of calling what felt like home for a week. I cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you to Ryan and Catavino for a marvellous time filled with laughs, learning and love for a beautiful country!read moreread less
Corinne Murray9/20/2022 - My husband and I had a wonderful day on a private tour with Ryan throughout the Douro Valley. He is extremely knowledgeable and helped us learn to appreciate Port. Beyond the wonderful private tasting sessions, he also brought us to a delicious lunch at a local Portuguese restaurant. Throughout the entire day, he provided us with tips and recommendations for the remainder of our journey throughout Portugal. The whole day was the highlight of our trip! We would HIGHLY recommend it!read moreread less
Sara Scattarella White9/14/2017This company is amazing. We had never been to Portugal before or used a travel company that made customized tours. We were spoiled beyond our expectations. Every guide, driver, and event that was planned was perfect. Even last minute change requests were handled smoothly. We worked with Lucy for a few weeks leading up to tour finalizing our agenda. She was very responsive to every question and request even with a 5 hr time difference. You will not be disappointed with any of their activities, guides, drivers, etc. You'll be in the best of hands. Will use them again if we decide to return.read moreread less
