Douro Valley Tour: stunning views, excellent wine and food!

This tour was easily my favorite experience during my vacation. Joana is a wonderful guide, very friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate. She had a great day lined up for us with two wine tastings and a lunch. Douro Valley was absolutely breathtaking, and we had plenty of opportunities to stop, appreciate the views, and take pictures. Highly recommend this tour! Joana, thank you so much, we had such a lovely day!

Danielle J.

Olá, dear traveller. My name is Alessia,born in Italy but raised as citizen of the world, in soul. I studied Foreign Languages and graduated in Tourism as certified European Tour Leader. My inescapable passion for travel, for cultures and photography led me to Portugal, where I fell madly in love with Porto, living it with overwhelming love and losing myself in its history and tradition, among sunshine and waves, breathtaking views, excellent Portoguese wines and cuisine but above all, among the romantic and timeless glimpses of its invincible beauty. Come with me on a journey through the scents of old markets, of stories of authentic people, sailos and conquerors ... till the secret places that only locals and those who enjoy the less touristy routes can know. If you are looking for a tour that can be different from the ones in the catalogues and that will captivate you with Portuguese tales to take home as a precious souvenirs - this is exectly where you will find it.

My name is João, a native son of Porto. I've been a certified Tourism Animator for the last 5 years, a Gentleman Rider for a few decades now and most importantly, in love with my city, her stories and importance in the World history. After a successfull, but not very fullfilling, career in management and mechatronics engineering, I decided to create experiences that would allow me to work on and share my passions: my classic motorcycles, the love of my city, history and storytelling ( yes, I talk a bit!) That combination came together naturally to create my tour experiences that use the old neighborhoods, landmarks, viewpoints and facades to tell you the history and stories of Porto. ( It also allows me to start tours with guests and end with friends. ) My tours focus on: Porto history, local stories, local perspective, landmarks, vistas & viewpoints, photography, Port wine tasting. After being a tourism guide for 5 years I realize that meeting new people and seeing them fall in love with Porto is what I really love to do. I hope to meet in Porto soon! Disclaimer: I'm also a part of secret world conspiracy to make people fall in love with Porto. . . you've been warned :) I will be your private guide. Welcome to Porto!

Portugal

In the United Kingdom, I graduated in Information Systems and returned to Porto to get a Master's degree in Management. During my degree in the United Kingdom, I made friends with students from various corners of the world: Italians, Germans, French, Senegalese, Thais, Malawians, Turks, Poles, Czechs, etc., also living in students accommodations in the university campus, where the kitchens were shared, one of the things that gave me greater pleasure, was to share our different gastronomies, besides, each one love to mention what can best be discovered in each country and in their native cities, without forgetting soccer preferences! At the same time, I got a part-time job on the weekends at the Holiday Inn Hotel, to help with my expenses. There where I worked nights in the bar and restaurant. Here, once again, I shared and heard stories from the four corners of the world from my colleagues and guests. Then, on my return to Portugal and after taken a Master degree in Business Management at FEP (Faculty of Economics of Porto), I started working 9 hours a day in an accounting office making business and financial plans. Tired and seeing that this would not be a future for me, I decided to create my own business in the tourism sector and in an area that has always attracted me, the travel sector. That's how I decided to open a travel agency initially specializing in incoming tourism, more specifically on sightseeing tours and later in outgoing tourism. As I felt I needed more knowledge in the area, I enrolled in the course of certified tourism driver of the Escola de Turismo do Porto. This was an intensive 350-hour course of study in local guiding and domestic and international tours directing. I received my SNATTI (National Union for Tourist Guides) membership certificate on May December 20,2020, and it has been a blessing ever since. I have a Portuguese Class B Driver’s License and I also have a First Aid Certificate.
