Anna was the perfect guide and made us comfortable from the introduction. It was raining and we were having difficulty finding the meeting point in Porto but she was able to change at the last minute and find us. She kept the conversation lively and interesting about Portugal, different regions, and the Douro. You will not be disappointed.

We had a great day with Nuno. We loved the family winery that was chosen for us to visit and the restaurant for lunch and Nuno was great guide for the area and gave us really great insight into Portugal in general.
