I'll simply introduce myself with authenticity: I was born and raised in the beautiful country of Portugal, for which I have a great passion. The fact that I know it well, has naturally contributed to further my passion. We're a very old nation, that, modesty aside, I know from personal experience that almost everything here is either good, or very GOOD. . . I'm a proud father of 4 children, and I know how to treat each and every one of my travellers as special guests; like personal friends or a family members. I can carry out tailor made tours for you, I have vast experience and my tours and are aligned to the enjoyment of "small" secrets that are not part of general knowledge. Whoever contacts me will have my vehicle and services at your disposal with no rush. My motto is "Quality above Quantity", that's I work so hard to create the perfect tour for each visitor! Each is unique and deserves a unique tour. We're a rich country with different cultures, and our diversity provides the most varied scenarios. Since we are not all the same, we have different virtues and flaws, and perhaps being aware of that is precisely the reason why we're a country of good hosts. We always make our greatest effort to welcome visitors, and that's an intrinsic part of our way of life. Whereas we visit Porto, the Douro Valley, Guimarães & Braga, Coimbra & Aveiro, Fátima & Batalha and other outstanding destinations, I'll introduce you to the best we have here in this garden planted by the sea. Although we're a small territory, you'll come across amazing natural landscapes, great monuments from antiquity to today, good food, such as meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, beer, wine, shellfish and other seafood, as well as good people, anywhere you go. This is the case by either travelling north to south, from the coastal sea to the top of the mountains, from one end to the other of mainland Continental Portugal, or in the islands of the Azores and Madeira. Come to PORTUGAL, and you'll forever take with you the best that life has to offer. ·7 years of experience guiding for my own company. ·Professional Driving License & appropriate insurances. ·Various qualifications in the field of tourism from national official tourism schools, to enrich my approach to work and better serve my guests, such as: - Tourist Animation in Hospitality - Portuguese Wine - Emotional Intelligence - Building Customer Loyalty in the Digital Age - Information Technology Tools Applied to Tourism - I WEBINAR: Sustainability - Web & Social Media Analytics - Hotel Marketing SEM/SEO - Operational Management of a Local Accommodation Business RNAAT: 1320/2017 (The RNAAT, National Registry of Tourist Entertainment, is an electronic platform integrated into the National Tourism Registry in Portugal.

Douro Valley became well-known because it's where the world-famous Porto wine is produced. Douro River was used as a mean of transportation of the wine from the valley to Porto city where it was then packaged, while the transportation was made on Rabelo boats. On this tour, you'll get to travel along the margins of the Douro River and be amazed by its outstanding landscapes. You'll also get to experience being in an authentic Rabelo boat, and to taste the best Porto wines (or Still wines, your choice!) right at the heart of their creation. Book me as your guide and come partake in the tour of a lifetime! My grandfather used to produce Port wine, and my cousins still do it to this day, so needless to say I've been very familiar with the entire process since I can remember. Trust me to lead you as you get to know Douro Valley, while I share its history & secrets with you. Enjoy an unforgettable boat trip, port wine tasting, plus a great lunch at a venue of your choice could also be pre-booked on request!
