Magical two days in the Douro Valley
We thoroughly enjoyed the two days we spent with João. We did a custom tour with a pickup in Porto and a drive through the spectacular Douro Valley along the N222, winery visits, authentic Portuguese lunches, and coffee stops! João’s knowledge of wine, cuisine, and history entertained and informed us during the time we spent together. He is a tourism professional, and it adds so much to your experience to be guided by a knowledgeable insider. We loved the wine, we loved the food, and we will def...read more

Private tour with local sommelier and delectable lunch
This was a major highlight of our trip to Portugal. João, who grew up in Douro, was an excellent guide who took us on a private tour to small and large wineries. We ended up purchasing some excellent white wine (of which I’m not normally a fan) from a smaller winery and had it shipped back to the US. To top it all off, a wonderful lunch at DOC - Chef Rui Paula (we requested this specifically, and while this restaurant does not have a Michelin designation, the chef also runs a two-star establishm...read more

Wonderful day trip in Douro Valley
Wonderful wonderful trip in Douro Valley. The landscape is beautiful and i even seen such an amazing view in other counties before. Joao is a very knowledgeable sommelier, he can answer all my questions about wine and the history about Porto. He has a very good relationship with the local people in Douro Valley. If i come to Porto next time, i definitely join the tour again and even stay for 2 to 3 days there to walk around. Thank you Joao, you are the best 😊
