Alfredo is very nice, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the Douro Valley, wine, and Portugal. Alfredo’s van is spotless and very comfortable. Alfredo is a great driver and we felt safe the whole time even though the roads are sometimes narrow and curvy. Our first stop was at a small vineyard where the owner took us on a tour of the vineyard and taught us all about growing grapes and making wine in the Douro Valley. We also had wine and olive oil tastings there and all the wines and olive oil were excellent. We went to a second vineyard for a tasting and a delicious lunch. This was a really beautiful place with nice views and excellent service in the restaurant. After lunch we went on the river cruise. There were other people on the river cruise, which we expected from the description of the tour. Alfredo accompanied us on the boat and explained about the area while we were going down the river. Our last wine tasting was at beautiful vineyard with a hotel on the property that overlooks the Douro Valley, again beautiful views and great wine. Alfredo’s tour exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend this tour! You will be missing out if you pick any another tour company.”

“Douro Wine tour and Braga day tour
Alfredo did such an amazing job with this tour for my family. He was so accommodating for my family of 11. He customized and tailored the entire experience to fit our exact needs. He was so incredibly informative, enjoyable and wonderful to be around. I could not recommend using someone more for your time in Porto than Alfredo!”

“Truly Amazing Douro Experience
After having done many tours via Viator, and other apps, we have found that it is not very enjoyable. You never know what group you're going to get, and it can get crowded and frustrating. Via word of mouth we received Alfredo's contact information and could not be happier that we did. We only had 2 short days in Porto, but wanted to make the most of our time. The full day education and wine tasting (with 3 course lunch) in the Douro was amazing and exceeded all expectations. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in Porto Gaia, and embarked on our journey. On the roughly 1.5 hour trip Alfredo educated us on the history of the region, wine making, trading, regulation, etc. Our first stop was truly one of the most amazing winery tours/tastings we had ever done at Gueda (Casa de Romezal). Very personal and quaint. Luis is a true gem. Quinta da Pacheca was our next stop and was also amazing, where we were served an outstanding 3 course lunch. Our last stop provided the best views of the Valley - Quinta do Pego...I almost forgot the 1 hour boat ride up the Douro was breathtaking. Our expectations were exceeded in almost every aspect of the trip. We HIGHLY recommend Alfredo for any adventure. He has decades in the hostpitality space, and it shows!”

“Highlight of our trip
Our Douro Valley wine tour with Alfredo was without a doubt the highlight of our 14 day tour through Portugal. Alfredo’s knowledge and passion for what he does is truly fascinating. The Douro Valley has many stunning views and Quintas where excellent wine is produced. What we liked about Alfredo’s tour is that he took us to an array of vineyards, from local family owned to established estates. Best wine tour in Douro Valley.”
