An unforgettable week in Porto with Miguel and 3T tours! - We spent a full week with Miguel from 3T Tours and can’t recommend them highly enough. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to our final drop-off, Miguel was professional, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn’t just drive us, he brought Portugal to life.
Over the course of the week, he took us on a beautiful Douro Valley tour, helped us explore our family’s ancestral villages, and guided us through Coimbra, Viseu, and Aveiro. Even during transfers, he shared fascinating historical and cultural insights that made every moment engaging.
The car was spotless and comfortable, and Miguel was always punctual, thoughtful, and attentive to our needs. It’s rare to find someone who combines such deep knowledge with genuine kindness and hospitality. He made our trip unforgettable.
If you’re considering a private tour in Portugal, book with 3T Tours, you’ll be so glad you did

Amazing Day with Miguel Malheiro of 3Ts- Transfers & Touristic Tours - My family and I had a wonderful day with Miguel in the Douro River Valley. Miguel picked us up at our apartment in Porto in a beautiful Mercedes Van that comfortable sat 4 adults and a baby in a car seat- with room to spare. Miguel shared the history of the area as we drove towards the Douro River Valley. We visited two wonderful and very different wineries, enjoyed a boat ride on the river in Pinhão, and had a delicious meal at Toca da Raposa. Miquel helped us understand that meals in Portugal are sacred- not to be rushed but savored and thoroughly enjoyed. He was wonderful with our granddaughter as well. The trip was excellent and a highlight of our time in Portugal.

Fantastic Experience! - We had an AMAZING two day tour with Miguel, who took 6 of us to the Douro Valley and the next day to Lisbon stopping in Aveiro, Nazare, and Obidios. Miguel is a real gentleman, super friendly and a very knowledgeable tour guide, who made the whole experience fun and relaxing. On the Douro Valley tour, he took us first to a family owned vineyard where we enjoyed wine tasting, olive oil tasting and incredible views! Next we enjoyed a relaxing ride on an hour long boat ride down the Douro River. The weather was perfect and the stunning views made our Valentine's Day extra special. After an amazing lunch at a family owned restaurant(one of the best meals of our entire trip!), Miguel took us to another gorgeous vineyard where we sampled various kinds of Port wine. Fantastic day! The following day Miguel drove us to LIsbon, stopping at Aveiro, Nazare and Obidios. So much fun! We highly recommend using 3Ts-Transfers and Touristic Tours. Miguel is great!

Way Above our Expectations! This is the team to use for your tours!!! - I am so thankful to have met Miguel and his team (Joao and Vasco). We had 5 couples do a two day tour of the wine regions of Portugal - Douro Valley & Vinho Verde - to celebrate a milestone birthday. The vans were very comfortable and the guides/drivers attended to the little touches that made our experience memorable. They were also friendly and knowledgeable. Miguel arranged for the most lovely lunches, vineyard and other experiences.

Four wonderful days in Lisbon & Porto - We just came back from a wonderful 10 day visit to Portugal. Miguel was the ultimate tour guide who single handedly made our trip perfect. Miguel was a total gentleman and a man who clearly loves helping people experience his beautiful country. He was so accommodating, knowledgeable, patient, had a great sense of humor and the BEST recommendations for both lunch and dinner. He even checked in after the 4 days we spent with him to help with anything we may need for the remainder of our trip. Miguel is a true example of the kind spirited Portuguese people and I can't recommend our new friend enough. Thanks again for everything!

Amazing day in the Duoro Valley - Do not hesitate to book a tour with Miguel. We spent no less than 12 hours in his company, drinking wine, seeing the sites, and eating the most amazing food of our trip. Miguel was both an amazing tour guide and fantastic company. We would travel with him any time.
The details- three vineyards, a wine paired lunch, sightseeing, and more. He picked us (7 friends) up at our hotel in Porto at 8:45 am and we returned 12 hours later. Ask him to take you to Pacheca- not originally on our itinerary, but Miguel’s favorite vineyard and now our favorite as well.

Five stars service - We had the most amazing experience visiting the Douro Valley under the guidance of Mr. Miguel Malheiro. Impecable service. Pick up time was on time. Driving was great. Miguel is very knowledgeable and super friendly. The vehicle was quite comfortable and in excellent condition. His recommendation for lunch was perfect, one of the best meals during our visit to Portugal.
Miguel chose 2 great wineries for our tour and we enjoyed everything about them.
He even called to a very popular restaurant and got reservations for dinner for my family.
We highly recommend 3Ts service for any transfer or tours service.
Looking forward for visiting and book 3Ts’ services again.

Cheers to a great day! - Miguel was our driver/guide for a great day in the Douro Valley. He took the time to get to know us and what we enjoyed. He made some great recommendations for local wineries and restaurants (vs. touristy). One place he took us for lunch has become a highlight and great memory of our trip. Because it was harvest, he also arranged for us to do some grape stomping at one location where we were visiting. Fun!
Having WiFi in the vehicle was a huge advantage, especially when we were waiting to receive COVID test results in order to continue our trip. When one of the results didn’t come in, Miguel went the extra mile to call and inquire for us.
Thanks, Miguel, for the outstanding service!

Porto to Douro Valley day trip - We did the Duoro Valley tour from Porto early December with Miguel. It included a boat tour and wine tour at Sandeman Vineyard. He was referred to us by our driver in Lisbon and it was a great recommendation.
Miguel was great with my toddler daughter, even offering to watch her when we did our wine tour. He took photos of us, provided valuable insights and a gift! His Wi-Fi in the car is excellent too. It felt very much like we were traveling with family. Very much recommend Miguel for all your Portugal travels. He does trips to Spain too!
