Tour Reviews
Reviews for Portugal’s Douro River
Date of tour: September 2013
Our wonderful holiday you organised for us was all that I could have asked for. I felt I had to write this letter to record my sincere thanks for all the hard work your team did to make it such a successful holiday. The cruise ship was very good and the staff were helpful to members who were not so fit. All the group enjoyed the Douro scenery, the good food and wine, the entertainment especially the last evening Folk Group. The ship was a definite hit with everyone. We all enjoyed the trips that were included and many went on the optional to Salamanca. Paul our tour manager, was very helpful and always on hand to advise when we spent four days in Porto. My thanks again for everything.
