Hola! Encantado de conocerte

Anselmo

"Since Porto is a small city, but with huge potencial, We are constantly been surprised in every corner, street, sidewalk with her personality.

Using the bike we can go to all places we want in a few minutes and with my knowledge we can avoid the traffic and the city ""buzz"", by using some romantic/typical promenades.

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

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

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 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!

Our day with Anselmo was quite literally AMAZING! He is a natural at what he does, and extremely knowledgeable and personable. Things we truly appreciated to make our day special: -Communicated well and was proactive -Very accommodating regarding a few extras I was interested in doing on the way to the Douro, and also giving Porto recommendations when I asked. -Took us to unbelievable viewpoints in the Douro Valley -Took us to wonderful, beautiful wineries and even a local village. Lunch was delicious too! -Took pictures of us often and he had a sense of humor to make our day fun I genuinely look forward to returning to Porto and contacting Anselmo again 😊Best Day In Douro!

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.

We were so lucky to book Anselmo for our family's biking tour of Porto! With a husband that bikes regularly, discerning teens, and our fill of the typical tourist attractions, we wanted something off the beaten track. We got that from Anselmo. We were treated to a local's view of the beautiful city- romantic streets, spectacular views, wonderfully curated history and a beer/lemonade at the coolest little river spot. Plus we got a pleasant workout too. Thanks Anselmo for treating us to a great afternoon in Porto! Karli (San Francisco, CA, USA)Amazing guide with lots of good stories!

The Duoro Valley is a special place and Anselmo provided a first class experience. He customized the tour to maximize time while emphasizing the Valley’s beauty as we drove (no boat needed) to take in the landscapes and explore the terrain. Anselmo was both informative and friendly in explaining aspects of the region and his choices for wine tastings and lunch were top notch. A great day.Excellent experience
