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

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 less

This was an ongoing visual and sensory experience from start to finish with several “pinch yourself” moments along the way. Like most learning experiences I feel like I’ve retained a fraction of what I learned about the wines and cuisine or Portugal. I guess that’s a reason to do it again read less

The tour was organized down to the most specific details permitting us an experience unencumbered with worry or stress. Best of all, Catavino is extremely well versed in the wine business, the wine country and the people behind the wineries. As a result, we were treated to experiences and face to face interactions that we would never have had on our own or with someone less tied into the art of making wine. read less

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 less

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
