Seasonal Secrets of the Douro Cruise Review

“My Seasonal Secrets of the Douro river cruise was an absolute dream! The visit to the Mateus Manor House was a journey through time, stunning architecture and history. Onboard, the Portuguese cooking demonstration added a flavorful touch to my cruise adventure and gave me the chance to savour (and learn how to create) local cuisine. The guided tour of Lamego was a highlight, too, offering insights into this charming city and an opportunity to see the breathtaking Shrine of Our Lady of Remedies. A truly memorable experience!”
