“Amazing Douro Valley Day Trip with guide Alfredo
My husband and I had a truly wonderful day with our guide Alfredo Santos in the Douro Valley. We don't often do guided tours like this, and it was the highlight of our vacation. Alfredo is an exceptional guide - He has a wealth of experience as a guide and in tourism, and has created a thoughtfully planned day. He shared his detailed knowledge of the history of the Douro Valley as well as the production of wines from this unique area. Alfredo took us to a few select wineries - from a small family farm where we got to walk around the vineyard and hear from the owner, to a larger family owned winery with an incredible three course lunch, to a winery with a phenomenal view of the valley in the afternoons sun. The day also included a short boat ride on the Douro River. The day felt wonderfully relaxed; from being picked up at our hotel in Porto to the stops in Douro Valley, we never felt rushed or tired. Alfredo grew up in Porto and speaks English exceptionally well. Alfredo is attentive and authentic - He truly cares about the Douro Valley, the families/wineries he has connected with there, and the people he brings on this tour.
