"Andre took us on a wonderful trip through the countryside and adapted the tour so our disabled guest didn't have to walk much. No questions went unanswered and we felt welcome everywhere we went."
"We had a great day with Andre! He was on time, fun, clever, knowledgeable, a superior driver over tight roads, up-to-date on all matters of culture, Portuguese and global, music, politics, you name it We really enjoyed the places we stopped for wine tasting and especially lunch. I'm a tough customer to please and we highly recommend Andre!"
"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! "
"We spent our first day in Portugal with Gustavo. He arrived to our hotel on time, and took us in his clean comfortable car to theDuoro Valley. We learned a lot of Portuguese history and Port along the way. We stopped for a delicious lunch with amazing wine followed by another winery to try number of Ports. It was super enjoyable. Highly recommend! "
"My husband and I had the most fabulous day with Anselmo to the Douro Valley from Porto. He was professional and fun; we learned so much about the area and Portugal in general, including funny stories along the way. We were blown away by the magnificence of the area. Thrilled to visit an authentic small town for local port, coffee, church visit and Anselmo’s local tarts. Visits to vineyards, including lunch were also wonderful experiences. We highly recommend touring with Anselmo. "
"Gustavo's tour was excellent. He was super knowledgeable and engaging. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and ate good food. Would definitely recommend."
"My family (ages 7 to 65 years old) had a wonderful time visiting Sintra and the Belém quarter with Tiago! He was a very knowledgeable tour guide and made sure all parties were having a good time. Tiago is very personable and easy to get along with. I highly recommend taking a small guided tour to Sintra as the area is congested and I was happy to be in a small vehicle versus a large tour bus. We visited in the Spring and if you go during this time, I recommend bringing a coat to Sintra due to the winds once up near the Palace. Even with colder weather on the day of the tour we had a great day overall. "
"We are four ladies who had the most lovely day with Anselmo in the Duoro valley. The countryside is just beautiful and worth the drive from Porto, and we felt like celebrities having a private port tasting in a stunning vineyard. Anselmo had thoughtfully brought us local pastries as a snack to accompany the port. Anselmo took great care of us, a very special day and we all thoroughly recommend Anselmo and this tour."
"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. "
