“This was not a good tour. This tour, even though labeled as private, was not private. When we got to the port winery, we were put on a tour with 20 other people. Further more, when we started the tasting, we were surprised to discover that the cheese platter that was listed as part of the experience, was not there. Driver / Guide had heavy accent, and his mastery of English language left a lot to be desired.”
