This hoilday was very good only disappointed was the food in lisbon which was arranged in a restaurant this was very poor.the douro river cruise was very good and relaxing sailing along, only problem for me was going out on a tour and getting back 10 minutes before lunch or evening meal didn't feel we had enough time to have a shower and get ready felt rushed, but having said all this it's a lovely hoilday one not to be missed.pleased we have done this one.

Superb cabin and excellent service from the crew. Unfortunately the food was not up to the normal standard of river cruising and was rather boring.
