Unforgettable
We had the most amazing experience exploring the stunning Douro Valley in Porto, thanks to our incredible guide. Gustavo. 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. We can’t recommend Gustavo enough—he made the day unforgettable!

About local
Our tour with Rui was everything we hoped it to be. We appreciated how personable and knowledgeable he is about the city. We took this tour during the last couple days of our stop in Porto, and we learned even more about the city than we could find on our own. He was also very flexible given the sites we had already seen. Rui felt less like a tour guide and more like a friend giving us a tour of the city he so obviously loves!
