Wouldn’t recommend this tour if paying for it on its own as it really isn’t worth the money. Having said that you have to tick a port tasting off your list when visiting Porto so worth doing as part of a bus / boat package...More

So we booked this Port Wine Lodges Tour Including 7 Wine Tasting with Tripadvisor and Burmester was the first cellar we visited on this walking tour. Really lovely place and steeped in history linking a British family in the 1700s. Our guide was also very...More
