5.00Words cannot describe what the eyes see in magnificent. Knowledge of Manuel growing up on these vineyards knowing hundreds and hundreds of years of history including the history of his family. Sharing in his family‘s home built in the 1700s an unforgettable flavorful meal that his mother cooked …the effort put in for us to make us be comfortable and understand the beautiful Douro Valley was an unforgettable amazing day for us. Every detail was taken into consideration and Manuel did not disappoint . I highly recommend him for any Douro Tour you may be considering thank you again for an unforgettable experience!!

5.00We had an incredible day with Manuel in the Douro Valley! He picked us up from our hotel in Porto, and after a scenic 1.5-hour drive, we arrived at the river. From there, we enjoyed a relaxing cruise to our first winery, where we had a fantastic tasting experience. Later, we visited Manuel’s pottery studio and had fun throwing some clay—it was such a unique and hands-on break in the day. Then it was off to a delicious lunch, followed by another great tasting at a second winery. The day ended on a high note with a warm, home-cooked meal at Manuel’s mom’s house—such a personal and memorable touch. We would highly recommend spending a day with Manuel. He’s a friendly, knowledgeable local who truly made our Douro Valley experience unforgettable.
Best way to get the flavor of the Douro Valley and its people.

5.00We had a wonderful day with Manuel in the Douro Valley. It was so easy to book and communicate with him in our planning stages. He arrived early, and took us to beautiful sites and great wineries. The best part was enjoying a meal with his family, touring his ceramic studio, and learning about the archeological history from his father. It was a day we will never forget!
Excellent
