We took 2 private wine tours: Douro Valley and Minho area. Arrangements were perfect. Jennifer was super easy to work with to customize things. Our guide/driver, Igor, was great and provided insights/information based on his professional experiences.

Miguel was the highlight of our trip to the Douro Valley! His knowledge of not only the wine region but the country itself was phenomenal. He was funny, thoughtful, and so skilled at navigating the region. He made a custom itinerary for the four of us (two couples) that included two family run vineyards, and we even got to eat lunch cooked by one of the wine makers wife! We were blown away! I cannot recommend Miguel enough, a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives!!

We spent a phenomenal day with Orchadia driving around the Duoro Val. The highlight of our trip (no question about it) was our farmhouse lunch in the Valley on this tour. It was the two of us and our guide. We had a tour of a small wine, we ate in the farmhouse dining room. The meal was farm to table, prepared by the owner, we saw the kitchen. She was an exceptional chef. It was fantastic. We enjoyed Amarante and the river ride. But this was the highlight.

We had the best time on our tour. Our guide, Jesper, was so knowledgeable about the Douro Valley and their wine production. He was so much fun too! The scenery from the port to the valley was breathtaking. The winery tour was interesting and the wines were great. They were not skimpy on the servings either!!! The lunch….superb!!! Do not miss this tour!

Our guide was Jasper Mateus Castle - beautiful with fantastic gardens. A must! Touronio very nice estate, delicious wines and excellent lunch. Son Antonio and his mother great hosts. Highly recommend. Douro boat tour pleasant despite weather. The day could have ended there. After one more wine tasting we went to Casa deJuste. A beautiful private home, lovel gardens & wonderful hospitality from Fernando & Anna. Outstanding dinner & wine! As delicious as the dinner was, we were full from lunch.

It’s only fitting that my first review in Portugal go to the most deserving. I have friends who I have travelled with before who used Oporto so naturally, with their recommendation I contacted Jennifer. What started out as a Douro tour ended up with our group of 6 having the pleasure of Miguel’s company for 5 days which included airport pickup and then a food tour of Porto, wonderful Duoro wine tour where we were dropped off for two nites in Pinhao, a day tour from Porto, transfer from Pinhao to Lisbon with a tour of Tomar and finally a Sintra tour. This all started out just looking at a wine tour. Jennifer was easy to deal with and willing to customize the tours to your liking. Miguel is a great travel companion leaving virtually no stone unturned. We have used many tour guides the world over and Miguel is in the top 2 so no hesitation recommending Oporto Shore Tours

We traveled to Porto with another couple for 3 days before taking a trans-Atlantic cruise from Lisbon. We had arranged beforehand to have private tours through Oporto Shore Tours. Our guide for all three days was the wonderful Orquidea. Our first day in Porto City was unfortunately cold and very rainy but Orquidea did a great job of showing us the city highlights and then arranging for a couple of informative port tastings. Day two was our Douro Valley Wine Experience and it was fabulous. We saw amazing scenery, tasted great port, had a delicious lunch and then a great boat trip on the river. Orquidea was also our driver and guide for our trip back to Lisbon with fun stops in Aviero and Obidos. The entire trip was extremely well organized and executed perfectly - cannot recommend this company more highly!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our one day your thru the Douro Wine Valley with our driver Nelson. He did a great job and we felt it was well worth the price. Highly recommend it. There were 5 adults in our group and we visited a small quaint family run vineyard along the river. We tasted great port wine and had lunch at a small Cafe in a river side town. A truly memorable experience. He picked us up and returned us right to our Airbnb apartment.

We were a party of five - my husband & I, our adult daughter and our adult son with his girlfriend. Jennifer helped us coordinate all the details of our day (pickup time, best fit for us for lunch, wineries to visit, etc). She was great! Awesome fast follow-up on the emails. Miguel is a top notch professional, very knowledgeable, super friendly and a great driver. The Douro Valley is breathtakingly beautiful. We visited Quinta do Crasto & Quinta do Vallado and had a fantastic lunch at Aneto & Table. Miguel was terrific about taking pictures of our group and stopping at all the most picturesque sites for the best backdrops. A most memorable day! Thank you Miguel!

My wife and I were one of 3 couples travelling together to experience an adventure in the Porto area. We had just finished (an OK'ish) river cruise up the Douro River and had asked Miguel to "organise" us for 3 day-long outings while we were staying on for a week in Foz. It is rare for us to sit back and relax - knowing that our guide is going to take us to the places that will be of interest for our tastes, and just enjoy the experience - but Miguel aced this for us. We gave him broad brush-strokes of what we wanted (i.e. not Porto, visit small towns in the countryside, a bit of history, typical Portuguese dining, perhaps a winery....), and Miguel did the rest. So, thank-you Miguel - I really don't need to add anything more to the glowing reviews you've garnered from your previous guests. Do remember to cut out a bit of time for yourself and smell the roses.....
