- Catavino is a Portugal-based company which appealed to us. We booked a two week tour of Portugal through them. They were uniformaly great - from planning the trip, accommodating our many changes, supervising our tour and even making changes for us while we were in Portugal. I could not have been more pleased with them and recommend them highly!read moreread lessRichard Porter10/19/2018We loved our trip to Portugal with catavino tours! Every detail was taken care of, communication was accurate but they did throw in some unexpected surprises, which were excellent! It is the best way to see the country, meet the people and experience things you wouldn't on your own. Ryan is an excellent guide! His love and passion for the country, the people, the food and wine is contagious!read moreread lessSusan Spiegle10/19/2018This 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 lessAnna Gunn6/19/2018
- My 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 lessMichaela Noble9/08/2022What an amazing trip with a fantastic group of people. It was an education about wine we couldn't have experienced anywhere else. Our guide, Ryan Opaz, was extremely knowledgable and brought great enthusiasm to the experience.read moreread lessDebbie Tarnow Getlin10/16/2017My wife, son, daughter-in-law and I just returned from a memorable, two-week adventure in Spain and Portugal which was arranged by the wonderful team at Catavino. There aren’t sufficient superlatives to describe these extraordinary individuals who made this trip so very special.Our primary contact, Janelle Norman, guided us with great creativity, attention to detail and sensitivity in addressing our focus on food, wine and culture. Her choices of extremely professional drivers, knowledgeable and engaging guides and delightful restaurants were outstanding. Her suggested day in the Douro Valley with Ryan Opaz was educational and great fun. Ryan was a superb and entertaining host who guided us through the tasting of aged port from even older barrels in a private quinta. Lunch at a small family restaurant and a cruise on the beautiful Douro River were wonderful.In Porto, one of our many highlights was a walking tour of this magical city with the vibrant and ever engaging Gabriella Opaz. Not to be missed! Her personality is infectious and seeing Porto through her eyes will guarantee your return.I must also mention that throughout our two weeks of travel, Janelle was never far away, during the day and well into the night, checking on our experiences and making modest adjustments in our plans where appropriate. Our travels were flawless.In summary, our family shared numerous experiences we’ll remember forever and we met many wonderful people along the way. However, it was the Catavino team that made it all possible and gave us a truly memorable journey. We’ll be back very soon!read moreread lessGlenn Kalnasy6/19/2018
