Design Your Tour“My wife and I spent the entire day with Renato touring the Douro Valley. We drove the countryside, a jeep 4 wheel tour through the mountains and vineyards, as well as lunch and two wineries. Our entire experience was perfecto! Knowledge and explanations were excellent. He is from a small village in this area so he had all of the local and personal knowledge that only someone who lived there would know. Highly recommend!”
“First class all the way! We paid for the private experience rather than a multi person tour and it was so worth it! Renato was a delight to be with and was so knowledgeable in history, science, economics, food science, wine making, and so much more! Everything we tasted was Portugal-produced and was a celebration for the palate. This was our first full day in Porto and such a great orientation to the amazing city!”
“Renato was wonderful and we saw so much in a short time thanks to his knowledge. He was very accommodating, tailoring our tour for level of walking and hill climbing we desired as well as how much history we wanted. His knowledge of the city and of Port was much appreciated. I'd highly recommend this service for anyone looking to maximize their time in Porto.”
“This is the best food tour we have ever experienced. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, a true historian. We were taken to many places, some of which you would not find on other tours. It was the perfect combination of eating, drinking and learning about Porto and Portugal. Do not hesitate to take this tour. It is worth it!”
“One of the best food tours we've done. And that's saying something as we've spent the last ten years or more tasting and travelling several continents. Renato was one of the best guides we've had. Top two if not the best. His knowledge of such a wide variety of subjects was superb. Guides and tours like this is why we do food tours. It's just the best way to learn about a city. Fantastic food and drink that we wouldn't have tried otherwise.”
“A fabulous way to spend a few hours exploring the sights and flavours of Porto in the company of a guide who was both knowledgeable and passionate about his country and city. Renato was a warm and friendly host, fluent in English with a breadth of geopolitical and historical knowledge not only of his mother country but also the wider European interplays over the last millennium, which made for a riveting and educational experience.”
