Day tour of Douro Valley with Alfredo Santos
Tripadvisor review:
Alfredo Santos is a great tour operator. My compliments are reflected here in other reviews. Alfredo is very professional, but has a warm charm that make you feel as though he is a close friend. He has close connections with very unique producers in the valley which also makes each experience quite special. As mentioned elsewhere, Alfredo's van is immaculate and he is a very good driver ~ better than most. My wife and I travelled with our daughter and her husband. We all enjoyed the time spent with Alfredo and appreciated his insights to the country, the region, and the people in the valley.”

“We had an amazing private tour of the Douro Valley with Alfredo. There were 4 in our group and every one of us enjoyed the whole day. 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.”

“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!”
