Duoro Valley
Francisco was few minutes late for which he apologized. He had water with him, which was very much needed. He was pleasant and answered to our questions in knowledgeable way. He was very helping getting in & out of van as he recognized our limitations.Although we were only five of us in the tour seating in the back seats some commentary was missed ( headphones would be nice).. The van and ride was comfortable. He went beyond to help us with bathrooms. As far as tour goes, it was a very memorable one — breathtaking valley, the tranquil boat ride, the aroma filled wine tasting and the lunch. Kudos to Cool tours as I will recommend to anyone visiting Porto.
