Well we certainly had a day to remember from the moment Pedro picked us up from our apartment. Pedro the perfect guide nothing was too much trouble. He drove us to the Duoro valley while imparting his extensive knowledge with such passion and enthusiasm and humour. I think one if the things that struck me most about the day was the feeling that you felt like you were out for the day with friends rather than on some military regimented tour! The Douro is stunning and we were blessed with beautiful weather. The day included a visit to a state of the art Winery for a tour and tasting - I was impressed by their use of gravity rather than electric pumps to produce their delicious wine and port - eco wine what could be better than that! This was followed by a fabulous lunch at a typical Portuguese restaurant, a boat trip on the Douro and finally a visit to the home of a wine merchant where we were greeted with a warm welcome and enjoyed another extensive wine tasting while we sat on the terrace enjoying the evening sun and fabulous views. All in all amazing a truly ‘Wow!’ day and will definitely be going on another of Pedro’s stunning tours on my next visit to Porto. Thanks Pedro
