Tom is spending a week in Porto and wants to book a day trip to the Douro Valley. At the hotel reception, he asks for help. "We work with two companies," says the receptionist. "This one does a small-group tour with a maximum of eight people. It includes a river cruise, lunch and two wine tastings. It leaves at eight thirty and comes back around six." "And the other one?" "That's a bigger bus tour. It's cheaper, but there are about forty people and lunch isn't included." "I think I prefer the small group. Could you check if there's availability for Friday?" The receptionist makes a quick phone call. "Yes, there are two places left. Shall I book it for you?" "Yes, please. And could you tell me where they pick us up?" "They collect you here at the hotel, at eight fifteen. I'll confirm everything by email."

Imagine you are booking a day trip. Speak for 30–60 seconds: ask about two different options, compare them, ask if there is a discount, and say which one you want to book and why.

Write 3–5 sentences to a tour operator asking about a day trip: the options available, the price for two people, and where the pick-up point is.
