Gustavo transferred us from Porto to Lisbon so we could make the most of our travel day. We stopped in Coimbra and Batalha. Gustavo was knowledgeable, energetic, interesting, funny and friendly. He was communicative and punctual, but also very flexible. Today could’ve been. Wasted day for us, but Gustavo made it one of the favorite days of our trip. We are so thankful and will definitely use him again when we come back to Porto! An amazing day with Gustavo!

Gustavo was an excellent tour guide for my trip from Porto to Lisbon. He arrived on time and his car was immaculate and very comfortable. We visited Fatima and the Monastery of Batalha, which was breathtaking. Gustavo was informative and fun! Being a solo traveler, I was happy to have a driver I felt safe with. He was a pleasure to spend the day with. My travels with Gustavo

Carlos was early so that got us started off in the right direction. He was very accommodating and took us down some streets we never would have ventured on our own. He is full of fun facts and has such a sweet disposition. We loved our morning with Carlos!Great Morning with Carlos!

We absolutely loved Gustavo. My husband and I are in our early 30s and with so many tour guide options it was hard to choose based on a few reviews and bios. But rolled the dice and we couldn't have felt luckier. Gustavo knows so much about his country and the wine and food. He's very genuine and a fun person, never felt like conversations were forced. The restaurant in Douro was incredible. He took care of us so well. So don't hesitate just book him. Best day in Porto!

We had the pleasure of spending half a day in Porto with Helena as our guide, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met her, Helena’s warmth and enthusiasm made us feel welcome. She was incredibly knowledgeable, weaving together Porto’s history, culture, and hidden gems in a way that was both engaging and easy to enjoy. She brought us through highlights, always sharing stories that gave each stop more meaning. Her pacing was perfect, balancing sightseeing with time to relax and take it all in. Helena also introduced us to Time Out Market Porto, where we had one of our favorite meals of the trip, trying the famous francesinha sandwich, fresh seafood with octopus, and of course a Port tasting. If you’re visiting Porto and want a guide who combines professionalism, passion, and a true love for her city, Helena is the one to book. She turned our short time in Porto into an unforgettable experience.So much to see + a great tour!

Anselmo is knowledgeable, helpful, funny and kind. We took a tour of the Douro Valley and enjoyed it immensely. Sharing stories was like conversing with an old friend. Every question answered with the wisdom of an experienced guide who took pride in his country and career. His knowledge of the region and the cultivation of the grapes was fascinating and insightful. Delightful Douro Valley Tour

We had a wonderful 3 hours with Gustavo. We laughed and just enjoyed a casual walk around Porto. We were able to see many of the things on “my list” by just walking with him. He shared so much that we would have never been able to learn without a guide. He is super knowledgeable but shared all of that in a very casual and relaxed way. My husband hates big tours and doing this type of experience is soooo worth it. Book Gustavo- you will love your time with him!!!Gustavo is awesome!

My family of 4 had the pleasure of taking a trip to the Douro Valley with Gustavo. We began by visiting the Croft vineyard, enjoying the views, and having a quick port tonic. We meandered through the valley and stopped at a few scenic points before heading to lunch at a traditional Portuguese restaurant that he recommended. Gustavo was very friendly, knowledgeable, and treated us as friends as he explained the history of Portugal and the valley. After lunch we stopped at Quinta da Pacheca for a wine tasting, with the wines picked by Gustavo himself. I would recommend this tour to all and cannot give Gustavo a high enough rating. We hope to return and see more of Portugal with him! Incredible day teip to Douro Valley

Helena sent us a message that she was ill and Clara would do the tour with us instead. This was by far not the first food tour we did, but extremely expensive (we paid € 233 for the 2 of us) for what was presented. According to the description we were to expect 10 tastings within 3 hours together with insider informations about Porto. Instead we were presented with stuff, every tourist stumbles over immediately, i. e. canned sardines, pasteis de nata and half a roll with pork. Nothing about Porto and after 5 tastings and 2 hours Clara said we were very quick and the tour ended.Total disappointment

This was a truly outstanding trip made especially memorable by our wonderful guide, Anselmo. It felt more like a day out with a friend rather than a guide we’d only just met that morning. Anselmo took us to places in the Douro Valley that we would never have experienced without his knowledge. We also had a wonderful locals bar stop on our return to Porto at the end of the day - fabulous! He was so informative, friendly and easy going with a real desire to tailor make the day to suit our group of 7. The Patel de Natas, baked freshly that morning by Anselmo’s cycling friend and top class baker were, without doubt, the best we tasted in our time in Porto - and we ate many! This was such a lovely, generous thoughtful touch which made this tour extra special. The lunch stop was spectacular in every sense - the scenery, the venue, the food, the service and, of course, the wine and port. The most delicious meal we had during our stay in Porto. Thank you so much for making this trip the highlight of our holiday. Read lessThe Perfect Day In The Douro Valley

Obwohl die Sicht aufgrund der Waldbrände etwas eingeschränkt war, können wir sagen, dass der ganze Tag wunderschön war. Wir haben zwei tolle Weingüter besucht und den leckeren Wein verkostet. Gustavo hat uns sehr viel Wissenswertes erzählt und wir hatten eine lustige Fahrt mit tollen Erlebnissen und interessanten Gesprächen.

Anselmo was the perfect host/driver for a day trip to the Douro Valley. My husband and I had the absolute best day! Anselmo was incredibly knowledgeable about the wine and the valley. He provided an option to either do the river cruise or the scenic route at the start of our trip - we chose the scenic route and it did not disappoint as we were able to stop at a small town and tried a farmers port (which was delicious). We then stopped by two wineries (both had amazing views) - the first one a smaller producer where we had a fabulous lunch as well. The second one was a bit larger but with a great taste of port. I highly recommend you book a day trip with Anselmo if you are looking for a more private tour of the valley. Thank you, Anselmo! A MUST: Day trip to Douro with Anselmo

I always like to book a day with a local guide when I travel, and we were looking for doing that in the the Douro Valley. But we were a fairly large group with young children, which made planning a bit more challenging, and not every guide could accommodate us. Luckily, Anselmo was incredibly solution-oriented, he found another driver and a mini van for us to explore the Douro. Anselmo is super knowledgeable and passionate about the Douro region and shared fun insights. The Douro Valley is also incredibly beautiful so really a must see while around Porto. If you're looking for a first glance overview of the Douro with someone who loves the region, I highly recommend booking with Anselmo. We really enjoyed our time!Beautiful Visit in the Douro Valley

We booked Carlos last minute and he made our morning. The day we arrived in Porto the city was very crowded and we could barely walk down the street. Carlos took us on a 3 hour walking talking, showing us side streets and areas we would not have gone to otherwise. He was excellent and would definitely recommend. After the tour he texted us suggestions for restaurants and other sights to see in Portuga. Excellent guide to porto.

We so enjoyed our day with Anselmo touring the Douro Valley — it was truly a highlight of our trip to Portugal, and we owe it all to Anselmo! My two adult daughters and I were staying in an Airbnb in the Centro Historico neighborhood and Anselmo kindly arranged to pick us up literally at our doorstep. He was right on time and got us settled in his very clean and comfortable car for our journey out to the Valley. We all immediately connected over his love of cycling (his bike tours sound amazing!) and our love of food and wine — very easy conversation and an enjoyable ride to the Valley. During the day, we visited sites we would have never managed to see on our own or with a group tour — the highest point in the Valley for the views, a small hilltop village for a local coffee shop for “farmers’ wine”, espresso and authentic Pasteis De Nata (Anselmo had picked these up from his neighborhood bakery that morning!), multiple vineyards and an elegant prix-fixe lunch he had arranged beforehand at one of the vineyard’s on-site restaurant (stunning views, delicious food and wine!). Anselmo also had all the best locations for photos picked out along the way and made sure to stop and let us capture some great memories. It was a very warm day in the Valley, but he kept us plenty comfortable with a/c, water and maybe even a small nap or two in the car between sites (day drinking is tiring!😂). If you are considering a tour with Anselmo, do not hesitate to book — he is one of the nicest people we met in all of Portugal!Perfect day in the Douro Valley!

Wonderful, fun and exciting 3h bike tour off the beaten path of Porto. If you want a different view of the city with interesting historical facts and a sporty mountain bike workout, this is the tour for you. Anselmo was engaging, fun, knowledgeable and knew all the right spots especially for the refreshments at the end of the tour which was highly enjoyable. Great view points with photo opportunities. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who has biking experience. The kids loved racing up the hills and the beautiful lookouts. Perfect first day in this gorgeous city.

Gustavo took the four of us Americans (two New Yorkers and two San Franciscans) in his excellent Mercedez Benz from Porto to the Duoro for the day. It was very hot, but the car was comfortable. He is beyond knowledgeable about all things Portugal, especially its political and social history. He took us to two wineries and an exceptionable place for lunch run by locals that was authentic, traditional cuisine, modest in price. Every minute spent with Gustavo was enlightening and informative. We can't recommend him enough! Great Day in the Duoro Valley with Gustavo

We saw all of the beautiful Douro valley with fantastic weather! Gustavo was engaging and very knowledgeable of the various wines of Portugal and recommended a great local restaurant with authentic Portuguese cuisine. The 2 wineries we visited were gorgeous and outstanding! We purchased some wine after a relaxing wine tasting on the patio at Pacheca Winery. If you are into wine as much as we are this was a great tour. Gustavo was very accommodating with our time schedule and got us back to our cruise ship with time to spare. Since the valley is a bit far from the port other guides we not willing to take us on this tour so use Gustavo if you decide to book this. Thank you Gustavo for a wonderful experience!Great Wine Tour

We (a group of 4) recently did the Douro Valley tour with Anselmo. In short, you cannot pick a better guide than Anselmo, he gave us a true VIP experience. He kept us entertained with some great facts and pointed out the sights on the drive to the valley. We stopped at a nice overlook spot for pictures upon entering the valley. Anselmo let us choose between a boat ride on the river or an extra wine tasting stop. We chose the boat ride. It was nice to be on the water and the views were great. After that we stopped at a nice winery and did a tasting. Anselmo very clearly explained all the ins and outs of port wine. Next Anselmo took us to an extremely beautiful hotel and restaurant for lunch. This was unexpected. The food was amazing and included more wine than we could drink. I was a little concerned that the bill was going to be huge given the quality of the food and how nice the place was. It turned out to be extremely reasonable in price. Finally we toured the wine making facilities at the same hotel. This was my favorite part as the facility is integrated into the side of the mountain and is architecturally spectacular. Anselmo is knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, but he was never overwhelming with too many facts or speeches. He strikes just the right balance. He also has the hook ups with the best places to visit. Use Anselmo for all of your Porto area tour needs. You cannot go wrong!Best Guide

Along the way he provided us with great information about the history of the area. We also stopped a few times for fantastic views,pictures and information about the vineyards. We visited two wineries. One for an amazing lunch, tasting snd winery tour and one for delicious port tasting. We could not have had a better day! Anselmo was so knowledgeable, personable and professional. I’ve already referred him to my Dad and his friends who will be visiting Porto next month!An Incredible Experience!

I picked Gustavo for our family visit to Douro valley based on his excellent reviews. I asked to start at 10 am instead of 9 am which he agreed to. At the start he stated " it was absurd to start at 10 am" to which one of my daughters responded that we like sleeping in and he said "well I don't work past 5". I did not address this to avoid it being awkward for my family for the next few hours. He did not give an overview of the itinerary. He got better and gave excellent descriptions of the wine and port, region, history, great lunch restaurant, wineries and had great spots to take family pictures. We did not have a boat trip which I forgot to ask about and he did not mention why/why not we were not doing it. It really felt that he did not want to do this tour for us and I was trying to navigate and ensure my family was comfotable and relaxed. Perhaps he was having a bad day.The experience could be better..

Although Sundays are not the best days for a food tour since many places are closed, we only had a small window to do a tour of Porto. Helena made it happen! We were introduced to the local sites and tried local treats with our favorite being the famous Pastel de nata, but we enjoyed all the tastes. Although the Mercado was closed on Sunday, Helena provided suggestions, and the next day, we returned to buy treats and eat at one of the restaurants where we had an authentic Portuguese meal, including the Francesinha, which is a must try. Helena was lovely, friendly and made the tour most pleasant. She is the kind of person you would just love to have as a neighbor! She shared tidbits about the city, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Helena Made It Happen
