First the museum is not a museum but a walk within the barrel of Porto. You will get 30 minutes of marketing and advertising for what you can later buy in their shop. The real museum and content was not here. Second the wine tasting...More

The tour was very interesting if you want to know about port production and we got to taste 2 different ports at the end. The disappointment is you come out through the shop and if you want to buy you have to wait in a...More

I went on a couple of winery tours in Porto and liked this one the best. They are set up for visitors, for sure. I really enjoyed the one that came with the Fado—the musicians were very talented, and the wine tasting was excellent. An...More

Tour was ok, large group, larger than we had at other caves. Information less than others too. 2 port tastings on dirty tables. No napkins so if your port glass had a drip, it made the table dirtier and wet. I am guessing my glass...More

Perhaps it depends on the night you go? We booked ahead for the 6:30 Fado. We were under the impression that it was to be a small group experience? We were rushed through a quick tour and led into a room with around 200 people....More
