I will start by saying that I cried when I had to leave Portugal and come back to the real world of our home in the USA. Portugal and its people really found a big place in my heart and even as I write this weeks later I long to go back and I even feel a little ache in my heart because I had to leave.Catavino Tours was wonderful. Every single tour guide and driver was fantastic, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to deal with. And every single hotel and restaurant was top-notch.I highly recommend Catavino Tours, their attention to detail and their attentiveness made our vacation the BEST vacation ever. They made our first time in Portugal easy.OH! And the Trip Plans APP with the details of our itinerary is a great added feature as well. The APP made it easy to keep track of what was next.

Catavino provided the absolute best tour of Portugal. Every aspect was flawless, from designing the tours of each city we visited, to the knowledgeable and friendly guides we met, to the excellent and perfectly located accommodations. Thank you for making this a perfect vacation getaway to a beautiful country!

My wife and I took our 9 day honeymoon trip across Portugal and had an absolutely amazing time. Catavino created a wonderful itinerary for us with a great mix of exploring the cities, history, countryside, food, and wine. We were in such good hands the entire time and will definitely be back so Catavino can show us more of the country!

Do 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!

A week like no other. Catavino designed an amazing tour for our private group. Ryan Opaz's personal relationship with so many in the wine/food industry allows for intimate experiences everywhere we went, unlike anything we have experienced before. Lisbon, the Duoro, Porto...all were fascinating. Catavino can design trips of any length and scope to suit your criteria. Obrigada!

Catavino is Ryan Opaz. But Ryan Opaz is not all of Catavino. There is a team behind the scenes. He is a Renaissance man with a great knowledge of food, wine and culture. We enjoyed three days with Ryan as he guided us through the Douro Valley and the ancient town of Porto. Although Ryan has a huge database of facts in his brain, he is also a treasure house of stories. You will discover the “real” Douro and Porto, not the tourist version. Ryan is always greeted like an old friend everywhere you go because he has a vast network of relationships. You will not get a stock tour: you will get an experience tailored to your interests and tastes.Ryan will take you to places you cannot enter as a tourist on your own. The guides in the Quintas and Port Houses learn from Ryan, not the other way around.American? Yes. Portuguese? Yes. Ryan lives in both cultures but is completely a “native” son of Portugal.Recommended for the wine enthusiast and professional, and for small groups. You must get to know Catavino.
