Hi there! Nice to meet you

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.

Here's an example of the tour: https://youtu.be/L42k-hpjgww"

As a frequent traveler I have experienced many different tours, and tour guides. Anselmo made this tour one of the best I have experienced. We saw the most beautiful parts of the Douro and tasted port with some of the most amazing scenery. Anselmo was able to go in depth and explain the intricacies of the wine aswell as the history of the valley. 10/10Fantastic Tour!

Anselmo is a down-to-earth guide with a super enthusiasm and charisma. We really enjoyed it, it was a wonderful trip, also away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, with several beautiful views over the city.A very nice, enthousiastic ride in Porto!

We had a really good bike tour with Anselmo. He took us to inner roads within town of Porto showing us some unseen places with amazing views. He gave us detailed explanations about history of Porto and Gaia. Anselmo recommended best seafood place and my husband loved it. We both thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour with Anselmo and would highly recommend it to everyone.Amazing bike tour!

We had an amazing time with Anselmo, he was punctual, super polite, very knowledgeable about wine and history of the area. We told him we were foodies and took us to the most beautiful restaurant with an amazing view and food. He was the one giving the wine tastings and explanation of the different wines. Totally enjoyed his company and wonderful tour. Highly recommended!The best tour / tour guide

There is just no other way to experience so much of Porto, Gaia, and the fishing villages around than on bike. Anselmo was amazing in navigating the terrain (you cannot completely avoid the hills) and getting us to beautiful views. His love of biking, his town and the people come shining through. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who can handle a bike well!The best local flavor by bike

Anselmo was a terrific host. The route was interesting passing a number of historical sites along the Duoro River towards the coast. The route took us off the beaten path along ancient city roads which was fantastic. One could walk few short sections depending one's comfort level with cobblestones or the incline. All round a great tour! Fun and Insightful Tour of Porto

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

I highly recommend Anselmo. He is a very knowledgeable guide and an amazing cyclist. As Porto is hilly, you can ride the bike and get an amazing workout or even rent an e bike and just have a cruise. either way you cannot go wrong with hiring Anselmo to be your guide! i rate him 10 out of 10 as he is knowledgeable, experienced, and a super guy!Biking is a great way to see Porto

We had some rain, but that did not deter Anselmo from giving us an incredibly good visit to the Douro Valley! Excellent driver. Very positive attitude! He knows the history and all of the secrets! Be sure to give him a good tip. He deserves it!Anselmo is the greatest!
