My wife, daughter, and I had an unforgettable experience on the Private Oporto Tour in April 2023, organized by Portugal Premium Tours and led by the fantastic guide Filipa Rodrigues.

We highly recommend her expertise and enthusiasm. Embarking on an 8-hour private tour with Filipa added an extra layer of richness to our experience. The extended duration allowed us to delve deeper into Oporto's charm, savoring every moment with her expertise. Filipa's personalized insights and anecdotes brought each destination to life, creating a tailored and immersive adventure. The extended visit to the Port Wine Cellar and the boat trip on the Douro River became more than just attractions; they became cherished memories. The luxury of having an exclusive and specialized guide/driver in a Mercedes vehicle ensured a seamless and comfortable exploration of Oporto's wonders. Our heartfelt recommendation goes to Filipa and the unparalleled advantages of an 8-hour private tour for an unforgettable journey.
