Guide #55851

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! Licensed Tour Company by Turismo de Portugal board under license N.º 422/2020 Level 1 and 2 of WSET - Wine and Spirits Education Trust Degree in Tourism with over 15 years' experience at the hospitality industry Hosting Food and wine experiences since 2018 Wines of Portugal Certificate School of Port Wine Certificate I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments

    Afonso was great! We actually had two tours with him back to back. Took us to local places we would’ve never seen without him. Very personable and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him!

    What an incredible day in the Douro Valley! The tour was so much fun, with two wonderful wineries offering beautifully different experiences. Our guide, Alfonso, made the day even more special by sharing his knowledge of the wineries, the region, and Portuguese culture in such an engaging and enjoyable way. From the wines and warm hospitality to the breathtaking, majestic...
