Wonderful people, lots of fascinating history, beautiful architecture, great food, and gorgeous countryside.

If you have never ridden a Segway then I highly recommend you do as it is such fun and a unique way…read moreto have a tour of a city that you have never visited before with a guide telling you all about the areas / buildings / views along the way. The Segway company can be found just at the end of the harbour pier where cruise ships dock. It costs around £40 for a 90 minute ride with a tour guide. Firstly you get time to practice on the Segway before we head on up around the town. It is such fun whirling around each other and practising getting used to the movement and steering. Then we venture on into the town up hills, down hills, through streets etc with many stops. Was easy to steer the Segway and was so fun and made the steep hills a piece of cake (would of hated to of walked up them). However was bit scary coming down the hills on the Segway as some hills were quite steep. Also some people kept getting in the way so had to brake quite a bit. However was fun and a unique way to see the city rather than walking so I highly recommend to anyone as I would sure do another Segway tour be it again in Vigo or somewhere else on my travels.

Our Sunday started just before 9am with pickup at our AirBnB, and then off to the valley. On the way to The first Quinta, Bruno planned 2 stops, one overlook with breathtaking views and the next has been a favorite stop for he and his family for decades! The first Quinta was so welcoming and the wine wonderful and complex, not all port but the port was divine. Next was lunch at DOC where The chef happened to be onsite and was so kind to join us for a picture after an exquisite meal expertly paired with wine. Then on to the second Quinta where we got an opportunity to talk with the wine manager who is passionate about wine, but most importantly living life. He could not personally join our tour, only because he was waiting to show the Mondavi family the impressive landscape of his vineyards! The ride home to Porto was lengthy, but Bruno is so easy to talk to and took us the long way home to point out his favorite spots for us to try. We took his recommendations for dinner the next 2 nights and were more than impressed! Thanks Bruno, and to your wife, for such a perfect day. We cannot wait to return and look forward to following you on Instagram! ;)

She also developed a complete itinerary for a 6 week long walking pilgrimage, along the northern coast of Spain that covered 537 miles. We also had her escort us two years ago on a tour of Portugal from the southern tip all the way to Santiago de Compostela. She can design a Camino tour unlike any other. She's full of passion for showing visitors to Spain and Portugal the undiscovered treasures. She provided us with information we couldn't find in any guide book or on line source.

First of all the day started with a hotel pick up by tour guide Nuno who drove us to the Douro…read moreValley area. On the way there he gave us a background on port wine and its history in the area. In all honesty, I felt as if a friend that I have not seen for a while hung out with me for the day. Nuno who is quite knowledgeable and funny. I spent the day laughing, listening and asking questions. There wasn't any awkwardness or boring time during this whole guided trip. Also, I have to mention, he has a good command of the English language; so there wasn't any moments of miscommunication. Our first stop was at the great and beautiful Quinta Seara dOrdens, which was a small scale producer in the Douro Valley. A family member from the quinta guided us through the port wine making process on the property. He also was very nice and informative. The views from his property were very, very beautiful of this unique terraced wine region. We then moved on to the grand finally which included tastings of his regular (not port) wines and his port wines. Included in the tasting, was bread with delicious olive oil and delicious grape jam, which are both also produced on the property. The first thing that popped into my head was, "Why don't I have access to these products back in Chicago?" Portuguese products overall are very underrated back home anywhere in the United States. Portugal produces many great wines, ports, and cheeses. Okay, back to my tasting, I wanted to take everything home. The wine was perfectly refreshing and crisp. The red wine was medium bodied like a good Spanish tempranillo. The ports were some of the best I have ever tried anywhere. We tried the ruby, the white, tawny, and the rose. The ruby tasted like a very good and complex heavy red wine which would pair up perfectly with a good beef steak or lamb. The white (which I have never seen in the US) was like a good sherry. The tawny with its darker color was also like a delicious mature sherry with complexity. The rose (another port I have never seen in the US) was very good. The olive oil was absolutely delicious as was the grape jam, which were both served with fresh crusty bread. In all honesty, I wanted to some of everything home with me. Unfortunately, I was constrained to the extra space in my luggage which had enough space for one of their vintages, a ruby, a bottle of olive oil, and a small bottle of jam!! After the tasting, we had lunch at a very good rated Michelin restaurant. After lunch, we Nuno drove us to one of the towns on the Douro river to experience a cruise down the center of this beautiful valley. On both sides of the valley we could see the names of all of the famous, and some not so famous, port producers. After the scenic boat ride we stopped in the town of Favaio to sample award winning muscatel wine. Well, before our arrival I warned Nuno that I was not a fan of muscatel wine. After viewing their town muscatel wine museum Nuno handed me a glass of their wine. I braced myself, then slowly sipped. It was as if I had never had muscatel wine before. It was not super sweet, yet vibrant; therefore, after my one sip I was an instant fan. I had never had a muscatel wine that good before! Nuno was nice enough to make an extra stop at the town cooperative so that I could purchase a bottle of the wine that I had tasted. After this last tasting, we drove back to Porto, where we started, for a drop off at our hotel. Do I recommend this tour? Yes! Who would I recommend it to? Everyone! You will never forget the beauty of this valley! I highly recommend this tour, and if possible request Nuno as your guide so that you can have the same great experience that I had. I wish you, happy and safe travels.

We stayed here for two nights and wish we could have stayed more! The walls of our room were made of stone, and the entire country house is from the 1600s. It was unseasonably hot while we were in the area, so our room was supplied with a nice fan which kept us cool during the day until we could open the windows and let in the cool vineyard air at night. Luis, the owner, was an extraordinary host and cooked a delicious breakfast for us every morning (at one point I peeked into the kitchen and noticed baskets full of oranges - that orange juice is definitely fresh-squeezed). Our first day, we in addition to the usual food had a homemade tart for breakfast; apparently cheesecake is a breakfast food in Spain! I'm not complaining at all! :) He also had recommendations for a range of activities and spoke excellent English for when our Spanish faltered. We ended up renting kayaks and paddling out to a nearby island off the coast! 100% would stay here again.
