10/10 experience - Alfredo is the best tour guide i’ve ever had. He gave us such a personalized experience and was generally a chill dude to hang out with for a full day in douro valley. He knows his stuff. He even takes the best photos - like a professional!

Fabulous all-day wine tour in the Douro Valley - We’ve just had the most amazing day in the Douro valley. Alfredo is professional, personable and knowledgable and a pleasure to spend time with. He took us to some wonderful vineyards although our standout favourite was Luis at Gueda - Luis described his family history, the varieties of grapes, and we learned so much from both Alfredo and Luis. Looking forward to see how Luis’ plans continue to develop. We then had a fabulous lunch followed by a lovely cruise in the sunshine on a rabelo-style boat (a traditional Portuguese wooden cargo boat) followed by our final stop which provided fabulous views down the Douro river. Driving was very comfortable and we didn’t feel that we spent long in the car at all. We are a family of five (with 3 grown up sons) and would highly recommend this tour. We hope to come back in the not-too-distant future and will definitely reach out to Alfredo and Tourvent.

Perfect Private Douro Tour – Thank You Alfredo & Tourvent! - We had a wonderful full-day private tour of the Douro Valley, and our guide Alfredo truly made the experience smooth and memorable. He was incredibly flexible, attentive, and friendly throughout the entire journey. Alfredo took great care of our family, ensured we were comfortable at every stop, and went out of his way to help with our baby — something that meant so much to us. From start to finish, he was always present, helpful, and made everything run seamlessly. We truly recommend Tourvent for anyone looking to explore the Douro Valley in comfort, especially with a family. And if you’re lucky enough to get Alfredo — you’re in excellent hands!

Full day of exploring! - This is a very special experience that can be tailored to your own needs. We visited three very different estates and typically tried two wines and three ports - including some wonderful white ports. Due to the tour being private, Alfredo, our hugely knowledgeable and passionate guide was able to individually tailor some stops to our party - one of whom didn’t drink red wine. There were fantastic back stories to each estate and a real variety in terms of size and approach. Our tour happened to coincide with the only bad weather day of our trip, but this worked well as we explored the estates inside, missing out only on the views. The meal was exceptional, three excellent courses of superb food. We could have missed the river trip, due to the weather but I’m sure it is lovely on a sunny day. Long day, 8 til 8, but well worth the cost. Thank you Alfredo

Exceptional Experience! - Our tour with Alfredo was the highlight of our whole trip to Portugal! Alfredo is an amazing guide, so friendly and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun spending the day with him and enjoyed learning about the wines & Port from the Douro Valley. The tour is well planned out with each winery offering something unique. A special mention to Luis at Gueda Wines who shared his extensive knowledge and story of restoring his family's estate. The landscape of the Douro Valley is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you to Alfredo for a very special, memorable day!. We hope to be back again soon for another tour.

Fantastic wine and beautiful scenery! - We had an incredible day in the Duoro Valley with Alfredo! Alfredo took us to three wineries, and each provided us with a unique experience and fantastic wines. We were impressed with Alfredo’s knowledge of wine and the area, and we also enjoyed the river cruise. Duoro Valley is absolutely beautiful and this tour was a real highlight of our trip to Portugal.

Fantastic tour of the Douro Valley with Alfredo - Today was a perfect day! Our personal tour guide - Alfredo - was amazing. Rob and I learned so much from him. From the most simplest thing as how to hold your glass properly to how wine and port are made. Could not have asked for a better guide. Lunch was fabulous! Beautiful wineries! We would highly recommend taking a tour with Alfredo.

Day tour of Douro Valley with Alfredo Santos - 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.
