Anselmo was amazing with our group, sharing history, stories, magnificent views and overall good times with us. He made my job as organizer super easy, coordinating everything early and easily over WhatsApp.

Orlando is the best! He is super polite, punctual, fun, funny, multi-lingual, interesting, has great knowledge and suggestions of additional places to visit in Portugal. We highly recommend Orlando as your guide. You will learn and see so much of Portugal with Orlando. The Douro Valley was amazing.

Choosing Anselmo as our tour guide was the best decision I made on a two month trip to Portugal. Besides being extremely knowledgable about the Douro and its wine/port, he has a gift of making you feel like friends from the moment he picks you up at your door!!! I actually miss him!!! The bottom line is that you will not regret the investment you are making.. the scenery, the food, and your time spent in Anselmo’s company is all worth it. I HIGHLY recommend Anselmo.. he will work with you to make your day “YOURS TO REMEMBER”!!!!!

Exploring the Douro Valley with Orlando Latourrette was an absolute delight! Orlando's extensive knowledge of the region, coupled with his passion for its history and culture, truly enriched our experience. From picturesque vineyards to charming villages, every moment was filled with beauty and insight. Orlando's attention to detail and personalized approach ensured that we not only saw the sights but also felt immersed in the essence of the Douro Valley. His warm demeanor and excellent storytelling made the tour both informative and enjoyable. If you're looking for an unforgettable journey through one of Portugal's most stunning regions, look no further than Orlando's tour of the Douro Valley!

Our family recently went on a private tour of the Douro Valley with Anselmo. It was a wonderful tour! Anselmo was friendly, very knowledgeable, accommodating to our requests, great with our two kids (4 and 14), and very easy to spend the day with. He took us to some beautiful spots to sample port, see amazing views, go on a boat ride, and have lunch over-looking the valley. We all agreed it was the highlight of our trip, and we'd highly recommend Anselmo as a tour guide!

Our group absolutely loved our visit in the Douro Valley. All communications with Anselmo were clear, timely and helpful. He went the extra mile to accommodate our needs, including arranging for a change in date (for a sunny day - thanks for the great couple we joined) and even offering a bonus visit and extra time visiting; it was outstanding. Anselmo is an excellent driver. The vehicle (a van) was perfect for our group; very comfortable. Anselmo shared his knowledge of the region, of wineries, of history with passion and humour. He made it interesting and lively. We had some treats, amazing visits, laughters, good food and wine and lasting memories. All members of our group strongly recommend a tour with Anselmo.

We booked a tour with Gustavo to the Doura wine region and I can honestly say it was fantastic from start to finish…. Gustavo was very good at sharing lots of information with us and knows the best spots to take you… we also stopped for a fabulous lunch and most of the day we were away from the main tourist haunts, surrounded by incredible scenery and tasting wonderful wines… Gustavo definitely went out of his way to ensure we had the best time… so what’s not to like! Big thanks, and we can totally recommend our tour to anybody thinking about it!

Gustavo is an excellent private guide. We went right through the Douro Valley mainly on roads off the beaten track. Gustavo is a wealth of knowledge about the history and the ways of wine production. Our stops where informative and the tastings well considered. Lunch was a revelation and included a special off menu surprise made to Gustavo's order! The restaurant was a small family run operation with an outstanding wine list. Our last tasting was at a friends of Gustavo's and the ports were sublime. I thoroughly recommend a trip with Gustavo and you will finish enriched with the sights and flavours of the valley and a good knowledge of all thing Port.

André was excellent. Punctual, great not only of the area, but of the wines and port. Our stops were perfect. Snack and coffee at cafe. He ensured to have all of our stops well planned. This was our first adventure using with locals, we would do again.

My Mom and I were so excited to do a Douro Valley tour, and decided a private personalized experience is what we wanted. We chose Gustavo based on his many excellent reviews, and are SO glad we did. He was amazing the entire day! He picked us up near our Airbnb, drove to some great lookout points, explaining things about the vineyards along the way. We went to 3 tastings (including one where we had the place completely to ourselves), and a delicious lunch. Gustavo was a pleasure to be with, he’s extremely knowledgeable, and a great guide who gave us a tailor made experience. He even gave us help with activities and itinerary for the rest of our stay in Porto. We highly recommend choosing him, you won’t be disappointed.
