About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Maps464840 contributions10 out of 5 StarsAmazing experience! Pascel and Maria- were amazing and so knowledgeable. Would do this again and again. Highly recommend this tour and all the amazing people we met along the way.Written 24 December 2024
- OnAir212747730960 contributionsDouro Valley Privie toueWe did the privite tour with Monica. She was really knowledgeable, gave us a lot of information abou vine as well as life in Portugal. She has great sense of humor and made our trip a lot of fun. She also always reminded us to take the pictures, which we appreciate since now we have beautiful Douro Valley not only in our memory.Written 14 October 2024
- rploum0 contributionsMust-do on any Porto itineraryWe had a wonderful time. Maria, our guide, was terrific. The port tasting was very well done and the private lunch was a very special treat. 10/10 would do this again.Written 29 September 2024
- 512jaredd0 contributionsAsk For Nuno - Enjoy The Best DayOur last day in Europe was spent taking this tour, and as it was just me and my wife we were able to get quality time with our tour guide. Nuno Pires was absolutely fantastic, and if you can you should request him directly. His English is perfect, although he does tours in 6 languages. He was kind, had so much knowledge, and really took the trip to a higher level. It was like hanging out with a friend for the day, and I would recommend anyone to go have the same experience I did if you are able. He also gave us a list of recommendations once we got back to Porto to make sure we could finish our trip off right on the last night.Written 24 September 2024
- M5474CPannah0 contributionsTrip to Douro ValleyWe went on a great trip to Douro Valley. We had a wonderful experience and Pedro was an excellent tour leader. He was so caring and made sure we all had a good time. He gave us a lot of information about Porto and Portugal and because of his positive and warm style the trip became such a great experience. He took us to 2 wineyards. They were both good but the second was magical. We strongly recommend the trip and ask for Pedro Anna Henley BäcklundWritten 23 September 2024
- Jordon B0 contributionsAsk for Nuno - you won't be disappointed :)We had the absolute best experience with Nuno on our tour of the Duoro Valley! He was friendly, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable of the area and Portugal's history. He answered all of our questions and ensured the tour suited our family. The entire group couldn't stop raving about how awesome Nuno was, and it definitely made our trip to Porto that much better. Everything was on time and we felt very safe and well taken care of. The views were stunning, the lunch was delicious (get extra potatoes if you can, they were heavenly), and the boat ride was lovely. Overall, this was a great experience. Ask for Nuno to be your guide and you won't be disappointed!Written 17 September 2024
- jsfw-traveller0 contributionsLovely day in the Duoro ValleyWe had Nuno as our guide & driver. He speaks very good English. He shared a lot of information with us. The ride to the Duoro Valley was scenic and interesting. The lunch was delicious and Nuno took us to a farmer market and we bought cured meat, very tasty and cheap. The whole trip was very relaxing, we were happy to get out of the city for a day. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Nuno for a great day.Written 12 September 2024
- sloanepayton0 contributionsFabulous day!We had such a fun day with Monica! She told us all about Duro Valley while we enjoyed our ride around the valley. We became good friends by the end of the day and really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Monica!Written 11 September 2024
- melissag3260 contributionsGreat wine, food and companyHad a wonderful day with our guide Maria. Punctual pick up. Comfortable ride. Loved the first winery. Great tasting and lovely setting. The lunch was also tasty and a wonderful way to try Portuguese dishes. The boat ride was very nice. Stunning views. Second winery was picturesque. Nice cocktails. Would have liked to sample more of their wines. Overall a great day.Written 8 September 2024
- stephaniecV8576CX0 contributions10/10 RecommendMy friend and I decided to forego a group tour and book a private tour instead — it was the best decision we made on our trip. We had the best time with Monica! A beautiful day in a beautiful place.Written 4 September 2024
- markmL4765ZO0 contributionsAN EXPERIENCE WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!What an unbelievable Tour! A MUST if you are in Porto or in the Douro Valley Area. The entire day was filled with great experiences, great laughter and exceptional memories made. Our guide Nuno is the absolute BEST!! He brought the experience to the next level and made sure that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. He is extremely knowledgeable and quite informative with the many questions and discussions that our group had. I would 110% recommend Nuno and would definitely request him on our next visit. The tour is extremely scenic and every stop is so special and unique. There was not one regret on booking this excursion with this group and would highly recommend.Written 30 August 2024
- travelingabroad30 contributionsMemorable ExperienceTanya was an incredible guide! She taught us so much about the region and its history. Each stop on the tour was so enjoyable. The lunch was a delicious home cooked meal at a quaint restaurant, which was a great way to try the local cuisine. They were also very accommodating for my vegetarian parents. Highly recommend taking this tour while you’re in Porto.Written 26 August 2024

- dylanrJ5529UQ0 contributionsMUST DO! (Ask for Miguel)Miguel was incredible! Such a knowledgable tour guide, incredibly friendly and absolutely made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend the tour as it is beautiful and a must do! Everything from the wine tasting to boat tour to the wine and chill is perfectly crafted for an amazing day.Written 19 August 2024
- vanessamP4624VN0 contributionsBig group Duoro ValleyMy family and I (15 total) took this tour and it was absolutely incredible! Our tour guide Maria was amazing, took her time teaching us all about the history of wines and the land around us. We had 4 kids with us and she took the time to listen to them and make sure they were having a great time. It was the perfect outing for our family. Our driver was also an expert of the road driving our van on the narrow roads making it look easy! We loved the first winery, lunch and boat ride. Our last stop at Trinidad was a bit of a disappointment, we found the place to be fun but the people working weren’t very friendly and welcoming. They made some rude comments towards my parents making the atmosphere uncomfortable and unenjoyable. The drink they made was delicious! We just didn’t finish ours so we could make a quicker exit. I would absolutely recommend the tour to everyone I know. Hopefully they change the last stop to a more pleasant place to make for more of a chill vibe to end the day.Written 12 August 2024

Maria Santos was a dream driver/guide! She is such fun and made what could have been a difficult day with fellow travelers whom we didn't know before the tour into one of the best of our recent long trip. We had such a great day with her with lots of laughs and interesting information. She tailored the tour to our preferences and found a great small restaurant in Braga for a memorable lunch. We appreciated the nearly new Tesla Model Y even though it is far from her favorite vehicle. Thank you so much!!

We took this full-day tour in March 2022 with Raquel. Raquel picked us up promptly at our hotel to start our day and was very pleasant and knowledgeable about everything we were doing. Our first stop was at Bom Jesus Sanctuary. Raquel explained everything we would see before we ascended the steps. This is an extraordinary site, not to be missed. After her detailed description of the area, we had time on our own to climb the steps and view the grounds before Raquel took us inside the church and offered further information. From here, Raquel took us to Braga where we enjoyed some local pastries and wine and a lovely tour of the area. We were then treated to a typical Portuguese lunch at a local, family run restaurant that was well off the tourist scene. We finished up in Guimaraes with a private tour of the Palace of the Dukes. Raquel's knowledge was incredible since she once worked as a guide inside the Palace. Raquel was a fabulous host for our tour. She even went out of her way to help my husband with some unexpected shopping that he had to do. Even before the day was over, we were talking about returning to both Braga and Guimaraes. I highly recommend this tour and Raquel as a guide.

Pedro was an excellent guide. In addition to the tour itself covering historical highlights, we were treated to a delicious, authentic Portuguese lunch in Braga in a local restaurant that we may not have found on our own. We stopped for pastries - Tibias, as custard filled Braga speciality, in the morning and then a hazelnut pasteis in the afternoon in Guimaraes.
We visited historical sites with beautiful views in both towns. Pedro was knowledgeable, energetic, conscientious and friendly. He is easy to talk with and interested in learning more as he goes and sharing that with his tourists.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable day, covered a lot of ground efficiently and felt like we got a very good flavor for both Braga and Guimaraes.
Pedro was always accommodating, easy going and customer oriented. Thanks for a great day!

Note: We only did the trip to Braga.
Our day in Braga exceeded all expectations and that was due to having Miguel as our guide. His years of experience, passion for making each tour come alive and the depth and breadth of his knowledge of Braga, Portugal and Europe in general provided a perspective rarely found with tour guides, Miguel was able to connect history to modern day events and decisions. The entire day was exceptional. In addition, Miguel is a wonderful, genuine person and we established a comfortable relationship immediately. We have worked with tour guides in many destinations over the years. We would include Miguel in a very small group of exceptional tour guides.

Pedro arrived on time and is super easy going. He is very knowledgeable and great fun to hang around with which is always great in a tour guide. He was flexible and brought us to great restaurants (some hidden gems!). We had 2 young kids with us and they loved him. We would definitely have Pedro guide us again when we are in Porto.

Nuno, our guide, made this wonderful day trip extra special for the four of us. He has a genuine and deep love for his country and his people, and it showed throughout. This was matched by his warmth, humor, knowledge and professionalism. These 2 cities outside Porto are definitely worth visiting.

We had a fantastic day with our extremely knowledgeable guide, Pedro. He is very pleasant, professional and friendly at the same time. He has a deep knowledge of the material and it’s not memorized but from an educational perspective. I highly recommend this tour, specifically if Pedro is your guide. Beautiful scenery and landmarks.

Our guide Sergio was very nice, polite, knowledgeable and full of interesting stories, not only from history but also gave us some tidbits of daily life if Portugal, and this is exactly the information you are looking for when visiting a foreign country. We did not feel rushed at all, but Sergio managed to fit so much in one day - I'm sure we'll remember this trip for a long long time. Traveling a lot, we know how much depends on the guide when taking a tour - it could make or break your whole experience. Sergio made our day highly enjoyable, we learned a lot and had a great time. Thank you, Sergio and "Your Tours"!

Yourtours was a pleasure to work with from the first email exchange. The company was very responsive and transparent. Planning an overseas trip for 6 people with 3 being of them being over 90 years old with mobility and special health issues was a huge concern and Yourtours and their caring staff really made the process a less stressful and enjoyable one. We felt we were in good hands.
We booked our airport to hotels transfer as well as 3 full day tours with 1 tour being a custom tour.
Yourtours recognized our specific special needs and limitations and provided support to meet them. The logistical coordination and communication were amazing.
We were met by Pascal S. at the airport. He was a warm and very friendly greeting after a long overnight flight which was so nice. He was very kind and super efficient and went above and beyond helping us get our 16+ pieces of luggage plus 3 walkers settled with the transport and then he rode with us to our hotel and made sure we were all set with check in.
We did 3 days of tours. Porto, a custom Chaves tour designed for my 93year old father, and Braga & Guimaraes. I can’t begin to say enough wonderful things about our tour guide Nuno M. He was so friendly, considerate, caring, kind, infinitely patient, and his in depth knowledge of the geographical area and Portugal’s rich history, culture and food made the tours very enjoyable and extremely interesting. We learned so much and looked forward to each days tours. Nuno went out of his way to make sure our seniors especially my father, could access as much of the tour itinerary as possible. He was inclusive of them and their needs as well as making sure we still got to see such special places. If we couldn’t get out and walk an area due to our groups physical limitations, he made sure we still saw everything as close as he could get us in our vehicle. Nuno was particularly great with my parents and aunt. Always mindful of their needs and always lending a hand to make sure everyone was able to enjoy his tours safely and at a pace that was manageable. We never felt rushed. All of our lunches were included as well as afternoon stops for local pastries and beverages. It was nice to not have to be concerned about any of the extras. The food was plentiful, traditional and delicious. We got to know Nuno through our wonderful mealtime conversations and we were sad to part ways. He gave us an experience we will never forget and his special care for what this trip meant for all of us but especially for my father we will be forever thankful for.
Pascal checked in with us daily and personally made sure our seniors made it safely back to the airport for our next flight. That is the personal care we received and it really made a difference in our trip.
If we ever are able to travel to Portugal again someday we would not hesitate to book with Yourtours again. Outstanding experience start to finish. Thank you!
