The entire experience was wonderful and met all of our expectations. The tour included several days in and near Lisbon, and then five days in Porto and the wineries and vineyards along the Douro River. All aspects of the tour were planned to provide an exceptional experience for our group of eleven friends. Our tour guide, Ryan Opaz, was extremely knowledgeable about the wines, the Quintas, the history of Port and Portuguese table wine and the country of Portugal. Finally, the food was amazing and included several dinners and lunches with wine makers who were personally know by Ryan. The tour and experience could not have been better! read less

They were a delight to work with and put together a spectacular 10-day tour in Portugal and Spain. I had some very specific requests that they were able to accommodate. Their hotel, restaurant, and winery recommendations were spot on and I felt we got great value for our money. All tour guides were extremely professional and amazingly knowledgeable. I've taken private day trips with them in the past and using their services them for a larger group and customized tour was a great decision. Highly recommended. read less

Ryan and his team of angels of Catavino created an absolute exceptional itinerary for our group of 10 from Minnesota. From our first winery visit to grape stomping to our splendid view from our hotel in the Douro Valley, the Catavino team left no details behind. We were treated like esteemed guests everywhere we went and even treated like family is more like it! I'm going through withdrawal and plan to go back with the whole family in the near future. One of our guests summed it up like this during one of our lunches, "Patti, I feel like I've died and gone to heaven. Just when I think I had the best day ever, the next day is even better!" I highly recommend anyone, whether it's the two of you or a group, to look no further than Ryan and Catavino who will customize and personalize an itinerary that will surprise and delight you beyond your wildest dreams.

Three of my friends and I booked one in Lisbon, and we were blown away with the whole experience. We were a little hesitant at first due to pricing being a bit higher in comparison to some of the other tours we were looking at, but decided to go through with it, due to the great reviews. We are so happy we did. What you don't get on other tours, that you do here, is the very personal and intimate experience you get with your tour guide. He was exceptional! It was almost like doing a little food /restaurant hop with a friend who knows the city well.

Also, in terms of communication, Catavino was on top of it. The whole booking experience with them was very easy. I would absolutely use them again. read less
