Hello there! I'm Timur, and my passion for Portugal runs deep. I'm a dedicated wine and food lover, traveler, and adventurer, always eager to connect as both a good listener and an effective communicator. My greatest joys include exploring new cultures, mastering different languages, savoring delicious food and exceptional wines, and sharing these experiences with others. I'm genuinely curious and enjoy learning from my guests' life stories, ready to converse on a wide range of topics. With over 15 years in hospitality, I truly enjoy working with guests and am committed to taking their experience to the next level. I possess extensive knowledge of local food and drink culture, history, and winemaking. My background also includes strong marketing expertise and proficiency in multiple languages: Portuguese, English (TEFL certified), Spanish, Italian, and French. As a certified wine educator (WSET L2), I'm always ready to share my knowledge. I've also successfully completed a First Aid course. I live by the Japanese philosophy of 'ichigo ichie' – embracing and giving my best to each unique encounter, as if it were the only one. I look forward to meeting you! *TEFL certified. *WSET certified (wine education program). *+15 years work experience in hospitality. *First Aid course. *Degree in Languages. *Degree in Marketing. *Agency License nº8636. *Drivers License.

Timur is an excellent guide. We were treated to a tour of an olive pressing facility with a wine tasting and olive oil tasting, a river cruise that provide great panoramic views of the terraced vineyards, and a second vineyard tour of the vines and production facility also with a wine tasting. Timur also arranged for an excellent lunch at a wonderful restaurant with top notch service, food and views. We were able to spend time at each location with professionals who work at each location, everyone was lovely to visit with. We learned a lot of fascinating history and had great fun at each location. Timur is an excellent driver with all the steep narrow winding roads. A wonderful day that we will always remember!

Timur was superb. He was friendly, pleasant, very well informed, and an excellent driver. It was our first time to the Douro Valley. Thanks to Timur, our day spent in the Valley was magical, a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for a wonderful day, Timur. Roger

Timur was knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we had an unforgettable day. He kept us on time, but we never felt rushed. We even stopped for local cherries on way back into Porto!

Timur, a Porto resident, was a most professional guide, including his comfortable, immaculate car that he drove with great skill to and from our rainy trip to Douro Valley. Along the way he filled us with insightful information about the area & its history. His choice of winery visits was terrific. We saw a relatively small operation juxtaposed to one of the largest in the area. In both we were warmly attended and learned much about port. The boat ride too was a great opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the region. We were even able to buy fresh cherries from a road side stand that were delicious! Timur has a broad background in world travel and shared some valuable insights with us during the course of our ride. He was a wonderful guide who we would highly recommend

This tour with Timur was exceptional. First, his communication before the trip was great. He was quick to respond to any questions I had and assured everything was set immediately before the trip. The day itself was great from start to finish. Timur made sure that everything flowed flawlessly. The wine experiences were great and varied, the boat ride was a nice break and great way to view the vineyards and our lunch was exceptional. I would absolutely recommend this tour and wholeheartedly recommend Timur for organizing any experience that you may want guided.

We had a wonderful tour with Timur of 2 beautiful wineries in the Douro Valley. The views were amazing. We had a great lunch at a very exclusive small restaurant. Timur was an excellent driver with a comfortable new car. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip enjoyable. We highly recommend Timur.
