My family and I had a wonderful day with Miguel in the Douro River Valley. Miguel picked us up at our apartment in Porto in a beautiful Mercedes Van that comfortable sat 4 adults and a baby in a car seat- with room to spare. Miguel shared the history of the area as we drove towards the Douro River Valley. We visited two wonderful and very different wineries, enjoyed a boat ride on the river in Pinhão, and had a delicious meal at Toca da Raposa. Miquel helped us understand that meals in Portugal are sacred- not to be rushed but savored and thoroughly enjoyed. He was wonderful with our granddaughter as well. The trip was excellent and a highlight of our time in Portugal.
