What people are saying about Carvoeiro

This was an excellent experience. Our host was wonderful and provided a great overview of the wines and the estate. We sat on a long table with other guests, which is a great concept, so we managed to make new friends and share experiences, which was great! The weather was perfect, which really helped and was a surprise for January. The sun was blazing, we enjoyed great wine, good food and received a great presentation of the wine's from our wonderful host....what more could we want?! I definitely recommend this experience! Unfortunately our Uber driver was unable to find the venue to pick us up, but our host, kindly assisted by calling a local taxi company to collect us - she definitely went the extra mile with her customer service and we really appreciated it. The delay in leaving allowed us to experience the wonderful sunset from the estate, which was lovely! Thank you Morgado Do Quintão & Thank you GetYourGuide for including the experience & having a great customer service team!!

A beautiful city - we were overwhelmed. There are so many sights that the short time of 4 hours to visit was simply not enough. In addition, if you plan to visit the Cathedral and Alcazar on the same day, it's just too much. Unfortunately, you spend more time overall on the bus ride. Our tour guide was in English and German - a big plus. To get a first impression of this city, this short excursion may suffice. You should plan three days to get to know the city better with its small streets, great bars and so many unique buildings. We will do that for sure!

Cristina was an excellent tour guide. She was well spoken and was a joy to interact with. Understood that this tour was a trip to experience Sevilla and were given ample to time to tour about on our own. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent experience from start to finish! Our host Lucia was knowledgeable and friendly! Great information about Portuguese wines and the wine Food pairing was delicious! This is a must for your visit!

Paolo picked us up from hotel in a wonderful purple T2 and took us around Portmao to show us the harbour before arriving at the vineyard. It was a fantastic trip and lovely wine and tapas.
