"Excellent tour with great hosts. Awesome views and great wine tour. Francisco was a great tour guide, explained everything in Portuguese and English. Highly recommended!!"

"We had a great tour with Steve! He was very knowledgeable about Portugal and the wine of the Douro Valley. He was engaging and created a fun atmosphere where our whole tour group was able to bond (and we even hung out with our new friends after the tour!). Highly recommend this experience! Lunch was delicious and all the wineries were beautiful."

"João was a wonderful guide…very friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch in Braga was great. There was just enough time spent in each location to get a feel for the cities. Perfect day outing!"

"We had a great day in the Douro valley! Patricia our guide picked us up at our door and drove us to visit 3 wineries where we learned about and drank port as well as tasting olive oil and honey. We had a super lunch at a vineyard overlooking the grapes! Patricia went above and beyond to make our tour memorable and completely enjoyable."

"Our trip to Braga and Guimaraes was an absolute delight. Our tour guide Nuno Mendes was incredibly knowledgeable! He was definitely an asset to us all on the trip. We saw so much yet the itinerary is so well planned that it felt so well paced and relaxing. We had enough time to see everything including free time to explore the monasteries, Braga's historic district and the old cobblestone streets or Guimaraes. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore this beautiful area of Northern Portugal. You will be in awe the whole time!!"

"Such a charming town - Braga with wonderful shops and magnificent gardens - the flowers were all in bloom. The history of the town was explained by our terrific tour guide Marcia. We had a wonderful lunch at Diana Restaurant just a short walk from the main church. Buy your linens from the shop in front left of the church - very good quality and very reasonable prices. our second town was Guimaraes - a medieval castle and another lovely town to stroll and buy a coffee or pastry before heading back to Lisbon. in between these two towns was a stop Confraria do Bom Jesus do Monte - to visit another beautiful church and beautiful architecturally designed waterfalls. we even got to see a beautiful bride enter the church for her wedding."

"I went with my girlfriend for her 30th, and let me tell you this: Nuno was an absolutely amazing guide and a pleasure to be around. The places he took us in Douro Valley were beautiful and the wine tasting locations were spectacular! This trip was worth every cent!"

"We move to Santiago de compostela riding in a very fast car with Ricardo as our driver and tour guide. He was good in driving while narrating the history of Porto and the places we have to visit. He speaks fluent english. We will look for him the next time we visit again Portugal."

"Driver Pedro was very helpful . Was a very nice day spent. View of the Duoro was spectacular. Car was very comfortable. Enjoyed lunch"

"excellent trip - guide was informative, great view during lunch, tastings, ac on the bus- would recommend as a fun day trip"

"Such a picturesque area of Portugal to visit, absolutely beautiful! The wine tastings were amazing, the lunch exceptional and the river cruise was magical. Our tour guide Andree was excellent! He was highly knowledgeable of Douro valley, charismatic and made sure we all enjoyed our time! Highly recommended tour!"

"This tour was everything we imagined it to be and more! Ana, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop and all of the scenery. Each tasting just got better and better with every stop! We hope to one day bring friends back to enjoy it!"

"After having seen most of the sights around Porto, my wife and I thought that a trip to medieval Santiago de Compostela in Spain would be exciting. At first the trip seemed like a no-go, because four people are required for this trip. However, after finding out that we REALLY wanted to go, Living Tours made an exception and took us anyways. We really want to thank Living Tours for bending over backwards to make us happy. Needless to say, the trip was fantastic and our guide Francisco F. was outstanding. Francisco was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and took us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch. As for Santiago de Compostela, make sure you go, it’s living history. On the way back, we stopped in the small border town of Valença, again a winner! In sum, we had an unforgettable day thanks to Living Tours and Francisco."

"This was an amazing tour. Our guide Patrizia was so informative and knowledgeable. During the travel and the tour itself, we never had a dull moment. The tour was relaxed and not rushed or packed with too many sights. Just perfect. The lunch was also very good."

"Wonderful small group tour! Great mix of driving with history, small winery tours, lovely lunch and fabulous scenery. A ‘must do’ while in Porto!"

"Paulo monteiro was an amazing guide funny polite and an all around great human being I had the best day with him!!"

"We booked late the night before but the tour organisers went out of their way to accommodate us. Our guide Julio arrived right on time at our air bnb in a fairly comfortable car. The first stop was an olive oil museum where we sampled the oil and three wines with the most incredible view I could have stayed there all day. The staff were very generous and friendly. We purchased wine there to enjoy on the boat trip. The boat trip was nice in terms of the views of the valley but we couldn’t really hear the information given due to the sound quality and background noise. From here we went to lunch. The food was great. This was followed by a small tasting and tour giving information about port. Julio was very personable, gave a lot of information as we were traveling but in a way that didn’t feel forced or scripted. I would highly recommend this as it has a few small stages which broke the day up nicely."

"Porto is amazing, beautiful architecture where ever you look! Ever single house is unique and has its own character! Recommended!"

"Carla our guide was very professional and knowledgeable, fun personality and made sure everything is taken care of for us. She would made alternate options that suits your need."

"My sister, my friend, and I experienced Fatima and Coimbra with Francisco last week and had a marvelous time! We found him to be most helpful, kind- hearted and well-informed. We had just the right amount of time to visit the tiny village and home of the three children who experienced the miracle of the Virgin Mary as well as the Shrine of Fátima itself, It was a moving and emotional experience, especially for believers. I hadn’t even realized that a buffet lunch at a nearby hotel was included so that was a pleasant surprise. We particularly enjoyed our tour of the university town of Coimbra as we explored its charming streets, shops and cafés."

"Great tour. Guide really knowand loved Porto.Picked up at hotel by Mercedes,takento tuk tuk. After tour taken to modern fish market restaurant called the Mercado. Superb lunch of seafood."

"This was a good way to get to know the city. Pickup from hotel lobby was well communicated. Joseph our driver took us to a great lunch spot for bifana. The traffic is really bad in Porto itself so you have to allow plenty of time for activities if going around by car."
