  • No enough words, even for a wordsmith like me, to say how wonderful it was spending time with Gabriella and Ryan. Our tour with Ryan as our guide to the Douro Valley was spectacular. Excellent wines, wonderful views, terrific people and a delightful lunch topped off with a lovely boat ride. Highly recommended!!

  • Stunning tour both from a history standpoint as a tour of downtown Porto. All the places we visited were amazing and we finished in "The Lab" which is a place that shows how much everyone involved loves to go deeper in the work they do. An amazing experience, can't recommend it enough. Thank you Catavino.

    The Catavino team is amazing! We planned a trip to Portugal at beginning of Covid and had to cancel - not knowing when we might be able to reschedule. On short notice, we rebooked our trip this Fall..... Different time of year, different timeline of stay, and different request. Ryan, Ana, and the whole team made it perfectly seamless. It was completely worry free and stress free. There is no way we would have experienced Portugal to the extent we did, if we planned on our own. You know they have it the mark when my 25 year old son said " They created memorable experiences, not just tours"!!
