Hi, my name is Afonso and I'll be your host! I was born at the West of Portugal, at a beach close to Peniche and raised between this region and the north of Portugal at a small village called Chaves. I moved then to Porto to take my degree in Tourism. During the following years I have worked in big events production and 14 years ago I moved to Gstaad - a fancy Ski Resort at the Suisse Alps. During the winter I still escort my guests through the amazing landscape of The Alps doing one of my passions - snowboarding. Due to my connection to different regions of Portugal, during the last years I've started being more interested in Gastronomy and Wines and particularly by the Douro Region, so in 2018 and after taking the level 1 of the course WSET - Wine and Spirits Education Trust I've launched the Douro Call Experience - a non-touristic tour through the outstanding landscapes of the Douro region, plenty of wine and local food! I have depth knowledge of my country, a warm personality and a great sense of humour and I'm also passionate for photography, surfing and travelling. I love welcoming guests at my country and be able to share stories and experiences, while enjoying an amazing landscape and world class wine! Join me in one of my authentic experiences, passed in privileged and unique places! See you soon!

Really enjoyed the day!
We booked two tours with Afonso. Due to flight cancellations and an injury, Afonso was very flexible to make sure we could still do both tours. Afonso is very knowledgeable about Porto and all the surrounding areas and seems to know everyone. This trip to the Douro valley we exactly what we were looking for - personal, local, extensive. Book with Afonso; you won’t be...
