  I did a lot of research before I chose Fernando to be our private guide for our Douro Valley tour, I spoke with him a couple of times prior to booking, his responses were positive and enthusiastic throughout. We agreed a date, an itinerary and at 08.15 am Fernando arrived to collect my partner Jill and myself from our hotel. From the moment we met Fernando, we knew we had made the right decision, our first stop was an amazing family vineyard high in the hills for olive oil and wine tasting, we were the first visitors of the day, and the hosts were fantastic, it was obvious that Fernando had a great relationship with this family, we spent the morning sharing some fantastic viewing points, an equally fantastic lunch in a small village and after a number of other stops we arrived in Pinhao, where we enjoyed a lovely river cruise. The weather was spectacular, our guide Fernando was absolutely great company throughout the day, his local knowledge was much appreciated and at the end of our tour we arrived back at our hotel around 18.30, a long day in theory, but it was so well planned, and we were lucky to see areas of the Douro Valley that most large tour visitors will never get to see. At the end of the tour we both felt that we had made a real friend in Fernando, a true gentleman who really knows his stuff, it was certainly the highlight of our 4 day visit to Porto, and we would certainly give him 10 stars if we could have ! Would not hesitate to look at the varied tours Fernando offers and book any of them in the future.

  

• Wine tasting in the Douro Valley

  We booked a private tour of the Douro Valley with our guide Fernando, and I’m so happy we did. The day was simply fantastic and Fernando took care of everything. Our day started at 8am with Fernando picking up our group of four. I suggest you start the day early as the drive can take up to two hours one way. Fernando offered to stop early for a coffee, but we opted to press on. Fernando took time to point out sights or specifics as we drove. I appreciated that his commentary was always a value add. Otherwise, he allowed us to socialize and converse. Our trip included stops at Seara and Sandeman wineries. While Sandeman was more commercial, Seara was very personal. Our host at Seara, Marco, was well acquainted with Fernando. Here we walked the cellars and discussed the process of winemaking in detail. In Napa, the same experience costs a small fortune. For lunch Fernando stopped at a local restaurant serving traditional Portuguese dishes. At the conclusion of our trip, Fernando shared a number of photos he’d taken throughout the day. If you have an opportunity to visit the Douro Valley, I highly recommend Fernando.

  

  

  

  

• Fabulous Fernando - Douro Valley Tour

  Fernando was a fabulous tour guide. He was pleasant, kind, honest, a good driver - and overall a fun companion. He took us to 2 amazing wineries, coordinated a delicious local lunch with a variety of Portuguese dishes and even took photos of us and shared them after the tour. Fernando was easy to communicate with - he picked us up on time at our hotel and arranged the whole day schedule. We rode in a clean comfortable minivan through the most scenic areas and stopped at various looking points. I cannot say enough good things about Fernando - highly recommend, 5 stars, amazing!

  We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Fernando Almeida. He took such good care of my husband, myself, and our two friends, as we ventured out to Douro Valley for wine tastings. We went to two fantastic wineries (Quinta Seara d’Ordens, and to The House of Sandeman). Both of them with delicious wines and breathtaking views of the valley. Fernando took wonderful pictures of our group throughout the day, and informed us of the histories and the processes of each winery we visited. Later, he took us to a family restaurant where we had an abundance of delicious foods served to us. It was delicious, and the was full of locals.. We got right in and we’re treated like royalty there. It definitely made our vacation complete. Highly worth it.

  

  

• A Spontaneous Journey

  A last-minute decision that turned into one of the highlights of our trip! Before heading to the airport, we were lucky to find Fernando available to take us to the Douro Valley and we’re so glad we did. Despite the time constraint, we were able to see so much and truly take in the beauty of the region. While many come to the Douro Valley to savor its famous wines, our family doesn’t drink and honestly, we didn’t feel like we missed a thing. The sweeping landscapes, terraced vineyards, and peaceful river views were more than enough to leave us in awe. It was a quick visit, but one filled with unforgettable scenery and moments we’ll always cherish. Proof that sometimes the best experiences come from the most spontaneous decisions!

  Our Douro Valley tour included two wine/Port tastings, a fabulous huge lunch, a short boat ride and great narration by Fernando. No huge crowds and door to door service from our downtown Porto hotel.

  Fernando was a wonderful guide for our tour of Douro Valley. He took us to several planned and unplanned vineyards for tasting, including lunch, and made some extra stops at places he thought we would like (we did!) Fernando knows the area like the back of his hand and we felt safe and comfortable. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Fernando!

  What an amazing experience we have had exploring the Duoro with Fernando. His knowledge and attention to detail on the wineries that we visited and the history of the area was second to none. We would definitely be using his services again.
