Best Birthday Celebration - From prior to arriving to Portugal to the end of the tour, I had a phenomenal experience. The team reached out to me in advance to discuss if there were any accommodations and to provide in depth details to prepare me for my trip. During our initial meeting, Rui and his partner were very kind and friendly. During each stop, he was very knowledgeable about the history and I learned so much from them. We made a few stops to local shops for unique trinkets and enjoy an amazing lunch! The view of Douro Valley did not disappoint and the wine tour with river boat ride was spectacular. The day ended in pouring rain on the way back to Porto but the entire time I felt extremely safe and comfortable during transit as well as navigating the cities with them as my guide. I highly recommend booking them.

Orlando was our guide and... - Orlando was our guide and he was simply the best guide we've had on any tour. Very knowledgable, planned a great itinerary, knew excellent spots for photos and selected a small family run winery for our tasting. He has a great sense of humor and is a great conversationalist. Can't recommend him enough and having a private tour for our Duoro Valley day trip.

A Dream Day on Vacation - Some travel experiences simply exceed every expectation — this was one of them. Our private Douro Valley day trip was nothing short of magical, from the moment we wound our way into those terraced hillsides until the last sip of wine on the boat ride back.
The scenery alone is worth the trip. The Douro Valley is one of those places that makes you stop mid-sentence because words just fall short. The two estates we visited couldn’t have been more perfectly paired. The first carried the weight of history in the most beautiful way — deep roots, a reverence for traditional winemaking, and the sense that every bottle produced there is the result of generations of devotion to the craft. The second was larger and nothing short of impressive — a breathtaking property that commands your attention the moment you arrive. Both estates welcomed us with genuinely accommodating staff and offered wine and port selections that were outstanding. These are gorgeous pieces of land with real soul.
Lunch was a complete delight — an eclectic, tucked-away spot we never would have stumbled upon without our guide, and exactly the kind of local gem that makes travel feel like an inside secret.
And then there’s our guide. Knowledgeable, warm, enthusiastic, and genuinely thoughtful about making the day feel personal rather than scripted — he made everything better. He was so wonderful, in fact, that we immediately hired him the following day for a city tour of Porto. That says everything.
If you’re considering this experience, stop considering and just book it. You’ll want to go back before the day is even over.

An exceptional day in a beautiful place - We had an exceptional experience with Anselmo. The day was perfectly curated with stops for stunning photos at miradouros, a scenic boat ride, an informative and beautiful visit to a quinta vineyard with port tastings and a fabulous three course lunch paired with wine and port at another stunning quinta overlooking the Douro. Anselmo is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the Douro and he told us important facts and stories along the way. Even more noteworthy however was Anselmo’s thoughtfulness- he brought and held an umbrella for us in the rain, took pictures for us and even brought gluten free pasteis for my husband so he could experience this pairing with port. It was as if you spent a day with family friend. We cannot more highly recommend this tour with Anselmo!

Great Experience - Anselmo was the perfect host! We tasked him with planning our day in the Douro Valley and we are so glad we did . His knowledge of the valley and his expertise in the wines of the region did not disappoint. The ‘scenic route’ was the perfect choice allowing for a quaint village coffee stop and he even surprised us with local pastries ! Thank you Amselmo for treating us to a wonderful day !

Highlight of our stay in Porto - Our guide was Luis and he went above and beyond to make our day a memorable experience. He checked in a few days before regarding pick up location and dietary requirements.
Promptly arrived at the arranged time and was extremely welcoming. Clean comfortable car with plenty of room for our group of four.
Excellent English great banter and very knowledgeable and passionate about Porto and the Douro Valley.
The highlight of the day was our picnic lunch in a private room over looking the winery.
Such a perfect day from start to finish.
Thank you Luis for a awesome time

Excellent Day Trip From Porto - This was a lovely day out from Porto. There were no issues with being picked up from our hotel. Teresa is incredibly friendly and goes over and above to ensure you have an excellent experience in the Douro. It was our anniversary and she gave amazing recommendations for lunch spots. The winery tour and tasting was superb fun. The boat ride down the Douro was exceptionally beautiful. We cannot thank Teresa enough for such an excellent day and experience.

This was an unforgettable trip. We loved every minute of it. - Our guide, Luis, was fantastic & had a great deal of knowledge. As 4 adults in our 50’s (early), we would recommend this trip without hesitation.
