I'm Igor, a Certified Sommelier accredited by the Court of Master Sommeliers and a gastronomy expert. I excel in delivering top-tier guest service and delivering unforgettable experiences in the Douro Valley and Porto. My background includes a rich history in tourism, starting on a luxury cruise line where I sailed worldwide. I later transitioned to Michelin Star Restaurants at the Yeatman Hotel and Casa da Cha restaurant, working with guests from diverse backgrounds, showcasing the best of the north and our award winning gastronomy and hospitality! Naturally inclined towards sharing my passion, I became a tour guide. This allows me to blend my expertise in food and wine, local culture, and travel to create authentic and personalized private experiences for travelers. I await the opportunity to share this beautiful region with you! 2nd degree - Court of Master Sommeliers 25 years working in tourism & hospitality I am not an official guide and will not be able to guide guests inside of certain historical monuments (but you will get all the information prior to the visit and I will accompany you through all the sites).

Mauricio was wonderful in his knowledge and fabulous personality taking us around Porto. He was so willing to do whatever we needed and wanted to do. He had a lovely upbeat personality and was so much fun to be with. He knew so much history of Porto, it was fascinating to listen to him talk. I would highly recommend him for a day tour around Porto!!

We loved our tour.. we had only one day in Porto and I felt like we saw so much of the highlights. Igor was very mindful of areas where we needed watch our steps. We had a fantastic lunch in a non-tourist restaurant by the river. I would come back just to have Igor show us more of beautiful Portugal. Thanks for the wonderful experience. I would say his photo does not do him justice. He is much more handsome!!

I had an amazing time on this tour! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Igor was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about Porto, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We saw some breathtaking sights and learned so much along the way. There was plenty of time for photos, questions, and he even took us to an amazing seafood restaurant for lunch. I especially appreciated the small touches, like the insider tips and local stories Igor shared. This tour exceeded my expectations and was truly a highlight of my trip. I would absolutely recommend Igor to anyone looking to explore the Porto area in a fun, informative, and memorable way! I would absolutely take another tour with Igor the next time I'm in the area.

Igor was unable to lead this tour and we had Orquidea who was amazing. The tour was great. She was super in tune with what we wanted and needed and was quick to adjust to our preferences. She explained everything. We had a tremendously delicious meal. Being able to adjust on the spot since we wanted a nice meal and adjusting on the spot for my daughter‘s recently diagnosed dairy allergy I could not have asked for anything better. I would definitely book with her and or Igor again without hesitation, could not have asked for anything more perfect than what we had.
