Douro Tour History and Wine

Great Day in the Beautiful Douro Valley

My husband and I spent a day touring the Douro Valley with Joao. He was easy to communicate with (whatspp) and right on time picking us up in Porto. There was some unanticipated bad weather which could easily have ruined the day, but Joao was a pro - he gave us some alternative options based on our interests (more history, less architecture) and moved the schedule around so that we could be indoors during the worst of the weather but still do the outdoor stuff we felt strongly about later in the day. The wineries we visited were lovely, as was his commentary and conversation, and the highlight was a delicious lunch at a local place where Joao knew everyone and managed the ordering so that we could try a variety of regional dishes. Overall it was one of our favorite days from the trip. It's always so much more interesting visiting a place with someone who is really from there and loves it. Would not hesitate to hire Joao again or recommend to our friends!
