Alfredo Santos is a great tour operator. My compliments are reflected here in other reviews. Alfredo is very professional, but has a warm charm that make you feel as though he is a close friend. He has close connections with very unique producers in the valley which also makes each experience quite special. As mentioned elsewhere, Alfredo's van is immaculate and he is a very good driver ~ better than most. My wife and I travelled with our daughter and her husband. We all enjoyed the time spent with Alfredo and appreciated his insights to the country, the region, and the people in the valley.

We had an amazing private tour of the Douro Valley with Alfredo. There were 4 in our group and every one of us enjoyed the whole day. Alfredo is very nice, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the Douro Valley, wine, and Portugal. Alfredo’s van is spotless and very comfortable. Alfredo is a great driver and we felt safe the whole time even though the roads are sometimes narrow and curvy. Our first stop was at a small vineyard where the owner took us on a tour of the vineyard and taught us all about growing grapes and making wine in the Douro Valley. We also had wine and olive oil tastings there and all the wines and olive oil were excellent. We went to a second vineyard for a tasting and a delicious lunch. This was a really beautiful place with nice views and excellent service in the restaurant. After lunch we went on the river cruise. There were other people on the river cruise, which we expected from the description of the tour. Alfredo accompanied us on the boat and explained about the area while we were going down the river. Our last wine tasting was at beautiful vineyard with a hotel on the property that overlooks the Douro Valley, again beautiful views and great wine. Alfredo’s tour exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend this tour! You will be missing out if you pick any another tour company.

My husband and I had an incredible tour of the Douro Valley with Alfredo. He picked us up from our hotel, and we travelled to 4 different spots for wine and port tasting. Alfredo was very knowledgeable and gave us a great history and overview of port and wine within the Douro region. Each stop had amazing views and the wines were outstanding. As we were here on our honeymoon, Alfredo made our day extra special by asking one of the wineries to open up a bottle of their vintage port for us to try. Overall, an exceptional day that we will be talking about for years to come!

Lovely experience through the Douro with Alfredo. He is a very knowledgeable host regarding viniculture and it’s historical influence in Portugal. We enjoyed the wines and loved experiencing the passion and enthusiasm of the wine makers. We highly recommend this tour!
