          Not a reliable company
          This tour sounded great, I booked it well in advance. Proceeded from US to Porto, Portugal and stayed in the Hotel. We were there two days prior to scheduled tour. The company knew the hotel, since they were picking us up there. On the day of the tour, not having excess to my e-mail we waited out front for the tour operator, no one showed up. Another tour guide was extremely helpful, and placed a call to the tour operator (BE Driven) for me that is how I found out the company had cancelled the tour. I went inside the hotel, called from the hotel phone and talked to someone apparently working for the company, hard to tell since there was children and household noise in the background. The man said they cancelled the tour because they didn't have a driver. Since the company knew well in advance of the date and time of tour, wondering why they didn't have a driver, he didn't know either. Just said, sorry it's cancelled. The company should have contacted the hotel, via phone and left a message for me, not everyone has a phone or access to e-mail in a foreign country. No, they didn't bother doing that at all. It should be noted, that I also used the company BE DRIVEN for a airport pick-up upon arrival. They couldn't do that well either, )see review). So my advice, if they can't secure a driver, can't manage a professional office staff or try to notify the customer, then the tour will be bad.

          Don't use BE DRIVEN or you will be driven crazy.
          Sad to say, no driver at the airport. After more than 45 minutes and several phone calls later a driver shows up. He said, he wasn't our driver, but was called by the company (BE DRIVEN). We were staying in the heart of Porto, near the Douro river in an hotel that had been there for ever, however, this guy couldn't find it, even with GPS. After nearly an hour of driving to Porto and around he dropped us off where he "thought" it was. Lucky for us upon exiting the vehicle and walking a half a block, with luggage, I saw it. Won't be using this company for anything in the future.

          Great to do, even with small kids
          Tip: do the stadium your first and then take your time for the museum. The museum is fantastic, really well done. The pride of Porto is really felt here. Highly recommended! The stadium tour also very cool, though the tour guide could have displayed a bit more enthusiasm about Porto’s beloved Football team and its stadion.

          Couldn’t have been better
          Wow! We couldn’t have picked a better tour of the Douro. Our driver Sergio is obviously doing what he was meant to do - from the moment we met, he was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable, and tireless in his efforts to make our day memorable. Cannot recommendation this tour enough. The two wineries we visited were well-chosen, the scenery was breathtaking, lunch was a feast, and Sergio was the best. 5 stars!

          We had Sergio as our driver. He was very friendly and the time just flew by. Our visit to the Quinta do Tedo was fabulous. A great tour and port tasting. The view from the winery was fabulous. Our lunch was outstanding. It was a small restaurant in Pinhão. There was enough food and wine to feed an army. The church visit was great too. The Duoro tour was great. You need a whole day to see everything.

          Really excellent way to arrive in Porto from the airport
          Cannot fault it. Our flight was early. Pleasant, helpful driver who was waiting with our name on a board at the exit to customs and took us away to his car nearby in the car park. The address that we had for our destination was slightly awkward but he worked out where was the closest point to drop us to join our Douro cruise boat.

          Porto private arrival transfer from airport
          No where to be found when our flight arrived on time. Thank goodness we waited around and kept checking. The driver was finally there after 20 minutes of waiting.

          Transfer was professional and a breeze. Took the stress away of being in a new country for the first time and being unsure of getting to the hotel. Good driver in nice clear car

        Visiting Portugal has been the best experience of my life.

        From North to South the country is wonderful, (especially the south) but this visit to Braga and Guimarães was different, every day more impressed with this country.

        Thank you BeDriven for all your attention and for providing us with such incredible days.

        We were picked up on time by a nice gentleman, who told us we were the only pair on the tour. We had a n eight seater and the guide / driver to ourselves. A knowledgeable person willing to pass on his knowledge and also willing to listen to us. We had a great tour nothing was too much trouble, he took us to ride the funicular railway at Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Braga, the best known religious sanctuary in Portugal picking us up from the bottom.

        Sadly i cannot remember his name but he was from SA. A thoroughly recommended tour.
