June 28, 2022We had an amazing day trip to the Duoro Vally. Along the way Albano stopped at some small towns which were really pretty and we had time to have... read more a coffee or visit museums. Nothing was too much trouble for Albano. He was very flexible, including extra places we were interested in visiting. It was a very hot day and it was great to see Albano waiting for us after our visits to wineries or lunch with an air conditioned car, water and lollies! Albano is an excellent driver and we felt safe and secure all day. We would highly recommend Albano for your experiences. It was a totally stress free day. Thankyou Albano.

October 13, 2022Bano was a great host and made our trip to Douru valley very memorable and relaxing!!
At the very start he emphasized that he didn’t want us to be stressed... read more and offered different pickup times if the original time was too early. He showed us the same flexibility throughout the trip and we never felt rushed.
He took us to a tricycle museum which was a nice break on our drive up to the valley and then took us on a quick tour around the museum site where we saw epic views and got to pick fresh tangerines from the garden! The winery and boat ride he also took us on were amazing and he handled all the ticket purchasing which gave us more time to just take in all the scenery.
Another big plus was that Bano takes amazing pictures of the entire group and offers great conversation during the trip!
10/10 recommend, this tour was the best part of our trip and we can speak highly enough on how relaxing, personalized, and memorable this experience was. If Bano has a tour available during your trip, you should definitely book it!Archisha

July 23, 2019Albano gave us such a lovely tour of the Douro Valley - it was the perfect balance of planned and spontaneous, and we really enjoyed his selection of less touristic... read more spots and more off the beaten track stops. We can't recommend his tour enough, and he was very personable and easy to talk to all day.
