Hello, My name is Bruno and I'm a Douro Valley native. I love my homeland and I feel part of the winding river, the green and blue distant mountains and the endless vineyards that overcome the landscapes in Douro. I'm very knowledgeable about all the aspects related to the Douro Valley and its people. My family has a small production of wine and olive oil, and is responsible for the field work of some other small Douro "Quintas" (Vineyard Estates), so I have a deep knowledge and expertise of how things are done in the Port Wine region. I've done everything that there is to do related to the work in the vineyards. With my experience in a 5 star Hotel (Pestana Palácio do Freixo - Oporto) , and as an Head Waiter of a top restaurant, I may assure you that I will receive you well and will take you to the gastronomic experience that you are looking for. I'm a passionate for history, traditions and legends, since I remember myself and I would appreciate very much to share with you the most interesting ones in Douro. I will take you off the tourist informational grid and give you a insiders view of Douro. I have a different approach about the Douro Valley, it's not all about the wine, there's much more tradition, myths, and unrevealed mysteries that you will love to know. Besides my homeland, I have lived in Madrid, Spain for one year, and in the portuguese cities of Porto, Aveiro, Viseu and Lisboa, so if you want a multiple city tour, I'm definitely someone that could guide you. I may also provide transfers between Porto, Lisboa and the Douro Valley in any direction. I may also do Private tours in Spain. I've lived in Madrid for one year, and I've made tours in Spain, in many different areas, like Santiago de Compostela, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Mérida, Salamanca, Segovia, Sevilla, etc. I may also guide you in Spanish Wine regions like "La Rueda" and "La Rioja", etc. Whatever are your plans in Portugal and Spain I may arrange it. I understand that you are unique and I'm always available to customize my services especially for you. I have a Bachelor in Hotel Management - F&B - received at the Hotel and Tourism School of Turismo de Portugal - Douro\Lamego in 2016. I was the Head waiter at an upscale restaurant in Peso da Régua.

The panoramic roads, the beautiful landscapes, the amazing wines and olive oils of the Douro Region will amaze you. More than a mainstream tour, I would like to show you, and bring to your taste some of the really traditional Douro Valley wines and olive oil. I will introduce you to the Douro Valley, with an insider's view, keeping the information interesting and straightforward. You may expect a revealing approach to the Douro Valley Gastronomy, History, Myths, Traditions and curiosities. I love this region, and this tour is designed to make you feel the same.

Wonderful tour of a winery and a superb lunch. We loved meeting the winery owner and learning about her family’s history in the Douro Valley.
Our second tour with Bruno to the Douro Region. Don't think twice about booking with him. Outstanding!
This was an excellent tour. We ended up wanting to change our plans the day of the tour due to several factors ( less wine and more sightseeing). Bruno was happy to accommodate us and provided us with a day of unique and fun experiences. The wine tasting and lunch was very intimate and special. Everything was very authentic and we had an amazing experience! Ps- the scenery alone was worth the trip! Truly beautiful !!!
No review will say enough about Bruno. Personable, knowledgeable, good sense of humor, gracious, a great conversationalist with passion for his county. Oh! And his English is fluent! Bruno provided us with a personalized tour of the Douro Valley, incl. a private boat tour + visits with tastings at two family wineries, while driving the picturesque (+ twisty) roads. We enjoyed personalized tour of two family-run wineries with generous samplings of their wines + ports. We felt like special guests!
Bruno is the best - my husband & I had a wonderful all-day tour with 2 friends in the Douro Valley today. He picked us up at our Airbnb & shared historical information about Portugal as well as local info about the area we were going to as we drove. We absolutely loved our first stop and all the tastings we tried. We had a great lunch at a restaurant and another tasting before topping off the day with a one hour boat ride on the river that was so lovely. Bruno is congenial, informative and very funny.
