I'm a Portuguese tour guide from Porto that has been running tours in the area for a while now. My post-graduation is in Tourism and Hospitality Management and I've worked in Hotel and Travel agencies before launching this company. Our tours focus on the wine regions of Portugal, like the Douro Valley, the Dão and the Vinho Verde Region. We run small group tours of 2 to 16 people ( in vehicles that take 5-9 people at time) as well as Private tours.
