Couldn't have asked for a more personable guide. Hugo was very familiar with the area having grown up in the area. He offered much personal insight to the geography and culture including the plight of the local vineyards from the storm/landslides the previous day. We certainly would not have wanted to drive the hairpin turns and narrow roads ourselves. Lunch at Anetos and the wine tasting there was very nice. We had the opportunity to chat with the family at the other wine tasting while enjoying the breath-taking views high above the Duoro valley. We enjoyed the river cruise-even got to see eagles flying about and a nest with baby chicks. We highly recommend this trip.

Very informative guide/driver, Lola. She explained the region and wine making along the way. We stopped at Aneto winery for tastings and lunch. I had the smoked Portuguese sausage and my husband had the duck. Both were excellent. We bought some rose to take home
After a scenic drive we took the boat cruise down the Douro then drove way up the hills to Quinta do Jalloto winery for more tastings where the wine maker gave us a special treat tasting of his not yet bottled late harvest. So good and we couldn't even buy yet! It was a great day. I highly recommend the Cooltours. Lola is the best!

Extremely enjoyable and well-run tour! Never seemed rushed at all. Hugo is the best -- he's both personable and eager to share his knowledge of the area. If only all excursions were so good....
