We had a fabulous trip to the Peneda-Geres National Park with our guide, Bruno. We were picked up in Porto and had a nice drive to the park with Bruno laying the foundation for our visit. From there we had a wonderful hike above a reservoir, a lunch at a family run restaurant in a small centuries-old village, and another hike from the village to a waterfall, complete with an escort of goats returning to the village from the mountainside at the end of the day. We finished with a sunset in the mountains and a pleasant drive back to Porto, Bruno was informative, engaging, and personable. A great guide for a great trip. Highly recommended.

Our tour is arranged adhoc with very short notice but the company is so accomodating. Pascal is our tour guide, he is sooooo humorous (never had a boring moment) yet so knowledgeable on everything about Porto (and Portugal) from history to architecture, telling us special details around those heritages and observations. It is like a happy discovery journey. Various activities like wine tasting and boat cruise were great that adds to the tour. We also had our 2 80+ years old moms joining us in this trip. Pascal has been very attentive taking extra care to ensure the arrangement works well for them and in the most comfy and safe way. He was so sweet to get our moms a bag of hot chestnuts when it was windy and chill out there visiting the coast of Atlantic ocean, which made it especially yummy and warm. 5 stars, absolutely recommended for the great personal experience.

My wife and I booked an all-day private tour of the Alto Minho region of Portugal with Brand Tours and couldn't have imagined a better experience. Not only did Xavier and Rui bring us to magical places, but they were so well-versed in the history of the region, and that knowledge made our day so much more interesting and meaningful. We visited ancient villages and saw old corn storage units from the 1700s that are still in use today; we explored old forts and climbed towers with spectacular views; we ate lunch in a small place where the locals eat and sampled the local fare including delicious sausages and a special wine. The proprietor even gave me the drinking glass I admired! Rui and Xavier literally went the extra mile to bring us to the top of a mountain in a national park where we looked into the valley and marveled at the beautiful views. During the course of the day, we discovered all we had in common and ended up as friends by the time we were dropped off in the evening. It was a perfect day with perfectly professional and friendly guides. I highly recommend Brand Tours for the tour of a lifetime!

Went on this tour last October, and had a wonderful experience! Silvia was our guide and she was so amazingly sweet and thoughtful. We travelled with a french couple and she literally explained everything in two languages: French and English. Not only is that extremely nice, I can only imagine the energy that takes :) The whole experience of driving through Douro, the wines, the people we spoke to and the delicious wines we could taste: would definitely recommend.

The trip to the Douro Valley with Jorge was the most memorable time I had in Portugal. The scenery was beautiful, all the ports and wines I tasted were delicious but what made my tour so special was having Jorge as a guide. Not only was he a great, knowledgeable guide who spoke excellent English, he was so warm, funny and a truly special person. I’m going to do a second tour with him as soon as I can visit Portugal again! Do not hesitate to book with Jorge!
