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

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

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

The absolute best experience with Anselmo! He picked us up on time from our hotel in Porto and whisked us away to the Douro valley. 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..

Gustavo is an excellent guide. Picked us up right in time. Smooth comfortable ride to and through the valley. He took us to the best spots for photos (and tolerated my requests for additional stops to take pictures of the train line - lol). He took us to the best wineries and a beautiful place for lunch. It was an educational and enjoyable day. Highly recommend Gustavo.Outstanding day in Douro

Lovely day trip with Orlando out to the Douro Valley - he went above and beyond ensuring the kids had the right car seats for a safe trip and ensured the tour was tailored to us and family friendly while still ensuring the adults could enjoy their port/wine tasting. Beautiful viewpoints as well and a lovely end to the tour with a stop at Amarante and impromptu beach/rockpool visit. Would thoroughly recommend booking with Orlando!Great experience with Orlando!

Helena arrived at our hotel on time to pick us up, we were immediately at ease with her friendly personality. The drive to the Douro Valley was both scenic and very interesting, we stopped for coffee and scenic photo opportunities. The boat trip in Peniche was relaxing and the scenery beautiful followed by a very enjoyable lunch. The highlight was then the visit to the small family wine estate Quinta Seara d’Ordens, a beautiful winery, off the beaten track, stunning wines and a very entertaining tour. This topped off a perfect day out. Thank you Helena!!Great day out in the Douro Valley

Mein Frau und ich hatten einen tollen Tag im Douro-Tal mit Gustavo, der uns in seiner komfortablen Mercedes E-Klasse sicher und souverän zu den schönen und ruhigen Orten im Douro-Tal brachte. Dank seiner Auswahl mussten wir uns nirgends die Orte mit anderen Touristengruppen teilen, meistens waren wir sogar für uns allein. Am beeindruckendsten war es, ganz allein auf der großen Terrasse von „Quinta do Seixo“ (Sandemann) zu sitzen und bei einem leckeren Port Tonic die Ruhe und den wunderbaren Blick auf den Douro zu genießen. Auch die spätere Weinprobe auf dem Weingut „Quinta da Pacheca“ konnten wir in aller Ruhe im Schatten von Bäumen genießen. Am Ende der Tour hat Gustavo noch einen außerplanmäßigen Abstecher nach Amarante gemacht, wo wir erneut ohne andere Touristen den Blick von der malerischen Brücke genießen und die dortige Kirche besichtigen konnten. Gustavo gibt einem das Gefühl, nicht von einem klassischen Tourguide begleitet zu werden, sondern von dem „Freund eines Freundes“ (zumindest zu Beginn kennt man sich ja nicht), der einem seine Heimat zeigt und dabei mit seinem Wissen nicht nur über das Douro-Tal und den dortigen Weinanbau, sondern auch über Portugals Geschichte beeindruckt. Gleichzeitig zeigte er auch großes Interesse an dem, was aktuell in Deutschland passiert. Es wurde nie langweilig während der ganzen Tour.Ein toller Tag mit Gustavo im Douro-Tal

Anselmo is a great guide. He communicated with us the day before the trip, and was prompt to pick us up. As we drove from Barcelona to the Douro valley, he gave us several options on how to spend the day, to find the best fit for us. We had coffee and local pastries to start, and then an amazing scenic drive through the valley with several stops to get out and enjoy the beauty. We toured several wineries, had an amazing lunch, and enjoyed the history of the wine making in the valley that Anselmo provided. Overall it was a fantastic day, I can't recommend Anselmo enough!! Entertaining and Informative Douro trip

Anselmo is fantastic! He is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about port wine and the Douro Valley. It took about 1.5hrs to drive out to the valley from Porto. Anselmo was a great driver and the journey was overall very pleasant. In addition to taking us to two wineries in the valley, Anselmo also made a point to show us "the real Douro" and we stopped at a local cafe in the town for espresso, pastry and a small port wine. It was perhaps our favorite part of the tour! Anselmo took us down into the valley on a road he discovered as an avid biker. The road allowed us to drive down to the river through the terraces and vines with extraordinary views the whole way. Overall, such an amazing experience. We are already planning on recommending Anselmo to our friends who are visiting Porto in the fall. He was perfectly informative, but didn't overload us with details. The whole experience felt more like a local friend showing us around than a formal tour!Highly recommend the Douro Valley tour!

He even arranged for a cake to be served with our lunch in celebration of my mom’s 80th birthday. We are so grateful for the time and care he put into making our experience so memorable.

My wife and I booked our Douro day trip at the last minute, and it proved to be a great decision. Our guide and driver, Rui, was fantastic and made our tour very enjoyable. We were picked up on time and the ride to the Douro Valley seemed short as Riu filled the time with local knowledge of Porto and surrounding areas. Once in the Valley, we found Riu to be extremely interesting with facts and history along the drive. Riu was also very flexible as we adjusted our tour based upon our interests. The day seemed to pass quickly. The scenery, boat trip, and wine tasting were outstanding. We highly recommend the day tour and Rui. Wonderful Day in Douro

The best thing about Gustavo is how he seemed like a friend rather than a guide who was showing us around. He also tailored the programme to suit our interests, including ditching a lunch venue at the last minute when he found out my preference for modern cuisine. He’s a fount of knowledge and has an answer to any questions you throw at the man, ranging from history to culture to food. All in all it was a day well spent on sightseeing and learning about the backstory to wine production in Porto.eventful day out in the Duoro Valley

From start to finish, everything was perfectly curated and intimate, just the way we wanted it. Our day started with a scenic drive through the valley, and our guide's knowledge and passion for the region truly enhanced the experience. Lunch at a local restaurant was nothing short of delicious—authentic flavors and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The highlight of the trip was visiting two beautiful wineries, both offering breathtaking views of the valley. The settings were serene, with no crowds, making it feel like we had the entire experience to ourselves. If you're considering visiting the Douro Valley, this is the only way to do it.

Our group of 4 recently had an AMAZING day tour of the Douro Valley with Alselmo celebrating my sisters birthday. He arrived promptly and introduced himself and we started the tour in his comfortable transportation. Alselmo shared history along the way and lots of laughs. During the tour we took a hour boat tour, which turned out to private, since no other passengers joined us. We brought a speaker with us, sang and sipped port down the Douro river. Next we visited CROFT vineyards, one of which we tasted port and he gave us the history of the types of port and a tour of the vines. He actually stopped at his local bakery and provided the traditional pastry during that tasting. We also visited Quinta Do Val Moreira vineyard that had the most amazing view of the Douro Valley. Alselmo scheduled a traditional Portuguese lunch, wines and dessert. Alselmo made it special by advising the winery that it was my sisters birthday and they made a cake just for her. After lunch we toured the winery and bought wine. Finally he took us to a look out site that had the most amazing view and then down to St. Vincent's church where we stopped next door for farmers port. I can't thank Alselmo enough for making my sister Colleens birthday so memorable. We had so many great laughs during the day. We all agreed that touring with Alselmo through the Douro Valley was the best day of our 10 day trip. Thank you Alselmo Amazing day with Alselmo

My wife and I had a fantastic day with Gustavo touring the Duoro Valley from Porto. He picked us up on time from our hotel in a late model Mercedes which was immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. His knowledge of the area and of Portuguese history and culture made our conversation as easy as talking to a friend, which now Gustavo is. We mentioned our interest in tasting dry wines and we visited two wineries with tasty offerings of both dry and sweet. He also stopped off at several view points to showcase the valley. We took great interest in watching a river cruise ship pass through a very large lock, a rise of perhaps 10 meters or more. We stopped at a lovely family owned restaurant for lunch and it was so good! We had the goatling with rice for two people and it fed us all. Gustavo’s wine recommendation was perfect! It was a full day of pleasant conversation and we learned a lot about the Douro and Portugal. Thanks, Gustavo! I will recommend him to everyone I know coming to Porto.Go With Gustavo!
