Great experience with Anselmo! He and Luis were wonderful with our group, which included both grandmas and toddlers, and made sure our visit was amazing!

Anselmo provided my wife and I with a memorable day tour of the Douro Valley. He picked us up on time at the pre-arranged meeting spot and had water available for us in the car. We opted to skip the boat tour portion of the trip, so Anselmo took us on some winding scenic roads and also stopped at multiple scenic spots to allow us to take many photos. Anselmo was very knowledgeable about grape growing and wine making and gave us behind the scenes tours at each winery stop. Coffee in the morning and all wine tastings and lunch were excellent. This was a perfect private tour to help celebrate our anniversary.

Spent an amazing day touring the Douro Valley with Anselmo. He knew so many undiscovered areas around the Valley, one more breathtaking than the next( he told us he had found these spots while cycling).
We enjoyed Port tasting and had a lovely lunch under a charming vine covered arbor.
Anselmo is an excellent guide and a warm and attentive host!!!

We had the most amazing day to the Duoro Valley! Our guide Anselmo was delightful in every way ...felt like we spent the day with a friend ...he was early and very respectful making sure to share his extensive knowledge but give us some time to enjoy the area.
He took us to spots I assure you would never find on your own.
People keep asking what was the highlight of our trip and without a doubt it was this tour!

Sometimes words are insufficient to describe an amazing highlight in your life. This is how I feel about touring Douro Valley with Anselmo.. the mighty duck (and San Anselmo to us). He has the gift for making you feel like friends from the start. Your tour will be filled with hidden scenic gems, intimate visits to taste and learn about Port and a few laughs!!! If debating about “investing” in a private tour, you will get your money’s worth 10 fold.. I promise you that!!!!! Obrigada / Obrigado San Anselmo!! May the force be with you!!!

Anselmo was an amazing tour guide and so knowledgeable about the Duoro Valley and wine process. He picked us up right on time and was very friendly! Our first stop was the highest viewpoint looking out over the valley. It was breathtaking! Anselmo knows all the good photo spots. Then, we stopped in a small village at a coffee shop and had espresso, farmers port, and some delicious pastel de nata. We loved seeing the village and learning some history about it. The first Quinta is also where we had an incredible lunch that Anselmo ordered for us with wine and port pairings. Then, we visited a second property that had an amazing view and such a beautiful patio area to enjoy the day and sip some port. Anselmo answered all our questions and we enjoyed getting to know him. I highly recommend Anselmo and this tour. We left with a new friend and a wealth of knowledge about the Duoro Valley. Thank you!

We loved the Douro Valley tour with Anselmo. He is such a nice guy with so much enthusiasm for his country and showing visitors what makes it a special place. I really enjoyed stopping in the little village for coffee and pastries. A really authentic experience. The whole tour was wonderful.

We could not recommend a better guide. We had the most wonderful Duoro valley trip with Anselmo. He has a great sense of humour, so much knowledge and was flexible and accommodating when we asked for a last minute change to the itinerary. It was fun, fascinating and the valley was so beautiful. He chose a perfect place for Port wine tasting and delicious lunch. We highly recommend Anselmo and his vehicle is comfortable and good for 4 tall guests.

Before our day even began, Anselmo had been wonderful about responding to all of my questions and messages. He responded promptly and with great information and allowed us to set the day as we wanted to! His English is very good and we were given much information about the valley and about wine/port. His depth of knowledge is great! Our first tasting spot was so beautiful and incredible! He chose it based on some of the things I told him we were looking for and it was perfect. He stopped at gorgeous points to allow us great views and pictures and never seemed to be in a hurry to keep us going. Our lunch spot had a spectacular view and the food was wonderful! It was such a beautiful location! He showed us the wine making area and explained everything in detail. Towards the end of the day he allowed us to walk across a footbridge in order to see more beautiful views! Anselmo is a wonderful host, and I highly recommend him!!

Anselmo was wonderful! He customised the tour to our preferences and was very knowledgeable about port and Porto in general! Overall he was lovely to talk to and very attentive to our needs, making sure we were feeling ok throughout the tour. He also bought us pasteis de natas from a bakery near his home to go with our first wine tasting, which was delicious! The best tour we’ve taken in Portugal so far!!! Thank you Anselmo :)
