Olá! I’m Daniel, a proud Portuguese local — born and raised in Porto — with a deep love for my country, my people, our language, and the stories behind every street, stone, and glass of wine. Being a guide wasn’t something I planned. Years ago, I helped a traveler in need, and her father later invited me to work at his travel company. That unexpected moment changed my life — and now, with over 5 years of experience crafting unforgettable journeys. I am passionate about offering truly exclusive and high-quality private tours. I’m not just a guide — with a background in music (I play saxophone!) and a Master’s in Film Screenwriting, I bring creativity and storytelling into everything I do. I’m also a certified Wine Expert (WSET & Portuguese Wine Specialist), and my passion for wine is contagious. Guests call me Wine Daddy — “I don’t got sugar, but I got wine!” 🍷 I specialize in curated, private tours across Porto, the Douro Valley, and lesser-known wine regions like Bairrada and Vinho Verde. Each tour is tailored to your pace, interests, and curiosities — whether that’s history, street art, hidden gems, food, or (of course) wine. As a fully licensed guide with all required RNAAT/RVNAAT certifications and comprehensive insurance, you can travel with complete peace of mind. For ultimate comfort and exclusivity, all my tours include private transportation in my own luxurious Mercedes van. I'm fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French, ensuring seamless and engaging communication throughout our adventure. I'm also happy to offer airport and cruise terminal pick-up and drop-off services. For me, guiding is about connection. Portugal has so much to offer, and yet the world knows so little about us. I’m here to change that — one unforgettable day at a time. Let’s raise a glass and make some memories!

Overview of your Porto tour

Discover the true spirit of Bairrada with me, a certified wine expert deeply rooted in northern Portugal. Often overlooked, this remarkable region is a treasure trove of heritage, passion, and unique traditions. I’ll guide you through historic cellars with underground tunnels lined by noble fungus, where sparkling wines rest quietly, maturing in perfect silence. Known as Portugal’s sparkling wine capital, Bairrada offers some of the finest wines you’ll ever taste. Together, we’ll visit two iconic producers and enjoy an exclusive tasting of DOC Bairrada wines, aged brandies, and exceptional sparkling wines. Experience the thrill of sabrage — opening a bottle with a saber — and indulge in a deeply traditional roast suckling pig lunch, perfectly paired with Bairrada’s signature red sparkling wine. This tour is more than just wine and food; it’s storytelling, connection, and unforgettable moments that will stay with you forever.
