About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- n0lker0 contributionsArt and Pilates in PortugalAnetours did an amazing job in taking care of our group's transportation needs while in Portugal. The drivers were always on time. The coaches were clean and comfortable. The drivers were very skilled in driving the small streets of the towns we visited. They made our Portugal adventure possible. A job well done. Thank you.Written October 22, 2024
- Discover443742583100 contributionsAmazing experience!Anetours provided exceptional service from start to finish. From the initial quote to the attentive and professional service on board, everything exceeded our expectations. Our drivers were fantastic, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. A special thanks to Bruno for going above and beyond to make everything possible. I highly recommend Anetours for anyone seeking top-notch transportation in Porto.Written October 11, 2024

- Lummemiikka0 contributionsJoao was excellentWe had (family, five persons, a lot of experience using vip-services) a private tour from Porto to Douro wine-area, especially to Pinhao area and there winetasting, lunch and river-tour by boat. Our driver and guide was Joao Frade. Excellent service, a lot of information and good English skills. I recommend strongly. Hole daytrip was all worth of money in a reasonable price.Written July 13, 2020
- Shortcake950 contributionsCoimbra Day TourWe had an absolutely wonderful day exploring with our fabulous driver Bernardino Sousa. A very polite, patient and happy man who showed us the awesome sights and introduced us to a wonderful lunch of suckling pig. Thank you Bernie we had an awesome day 🇵🇹🙏🙂Written February 9, 2020
- Esthr103210 contributionsNot worth the $$ for a private guideI would strongly advise not doing business with this company. We booked a different company, and then they sub-contracted us to ANE Tours when visiting the Douro Valley. It was so disorganized and they didn't have an itinerary, everything was just very haphazard with no plan. The two things we had been specific about, including a wine tour and a lunch reservation, did not happen and they blamed us and the original company. No one took any responsibility for the lack of communication. I asked to have them call me back to talk about compensation and no one ever followed up with me during the tour. It's honestly not worth the expense for hiring a private guide where you would expect top notch service, would recommend using a different company or just using public taxis.Written November 21, 2019
- ChrisF52860 contributionsExcellent personalised experienceBernadino hosted our private tour at short notice. The car was plush and spotless. Bernadino was hugely knowledgeable and passionate about the area with a personal interest in the wine industry which was a great benefit to us. His English is endearing. Our experience was extremely good value for money and an excellent recommendation from the local tourist office.Written October 17, 2019
- Inspire5325380 contributionsWow wow wow Bernardino!We did a Douro River wine and gastronomy tour for a day with Bernardino. Firstly Bernardino is a wonderful, safe driver who speaks English very well and has lot of great information and stories. He planned a beautiful day for us in the lovely Mercedes Benz in a private tour. We visited many lovely wineries to taste Douro wines and Port and then went for a beautiful lunch in Pinhão. Having done lots of wine tastings around the works and this is one of the most beautiful places with great wines and port and friendly people! Wow wow wow. Thanks Bernardino!!Written July 12, 2019

- LindaH47190 contributionsAmazing way to see Porto!!Enjoyed a half day city tour of Porto visiting all the major sites. The best way to see this city was with our private guide Bernardino Sousa!!! He did not only get us to all the hot spots but was a wealth of information explaining the city and its history. He allowed us time to visit the sites and even stop for a coffee at the Majestic Cafe! A drive along the coast highlighting the Promenade and a postcard picture taking opportunity was simply breathtaking. At the end of the tour we stopped for some Port tasting which was amazing!! Thank you Bernardino for this experience!!!Written July 1, 2019
- juliabrock0 contributionsA day with BernardinoBernardino was our congenial guide for a day in the Douro Valley. He had a great deal of information and local knowledge to download. Before you have your day out check what’s included in the trip - you too might find that you are expected to pay for your guide’s coffee and lunch! JLWritten June 11, 2019
- WaynG50 contributionsAwesome private tourWhat a moment in heaven it is when you immediately are charmed by your private tour guide. That how we felt about Bernadino Sousa, our guide for the day through the Douro Valley! Bernadino was amazing and helped us to see and taste the very finest of the Douro. Wonderful, charm filled stops at cathedrals, a tile decorated marvel at the train station in Pinhao, and sumptuous tastings at Quinta Popa! The valley is known for It’s fine Port wine and Quinta de Popa did not disappoint. All day long the English speaking Bernardino filled us in in the life and the history and the people of the Douro. He was truly a godsend to us as we had the best day we could have imagined. Cheers and thank you Bernardino, you were truly amazing and gracious. We could not have asked for a better day nor a better tour with one of the finest guides! Please contact him for a thorough and informative tour.Written June 5, 2019
- gregb5880 contributionsExcellentBernardino was an excellent host for our tour and we had a great day visiting guimaraes and Braga . We would thoroughly recommend this service to any prospective travellers visiting Porto - the car was clean and water was provided while at every stage we were dropped off and picked up close to all attractionsWritten June 4, 2019
- happyplanner0 contributionsAwesome private tour!Our private driver Ivan Oliveira was a superb host touring us throughout the Douro Valley- Ivan's personal knowledge, professionalism, and friendly manner made for a perfect day. Ivan suggested lunch at the DOC restaurant which was absolutely incredible - the food, setting, and service was outstanding - Thank you, Ivan!!!Written June 3, 2019
- jl2320 contributionsVinho verde tourWe booked a Vinho Verde tasting tour through tour hotel. We were lucky in that we ended up with a private car and driver and the driver was kind and helpful. However we visited only one winery which gave us a great tour of the gardens, only gave us 2 wines to taste Both were mediocre. The rest of the tour was sightseeing. I don’t think you could name this a wine tasting tour. The winery could have offered other and better wines from their collection. The tour company could have taken us to more than one winery.Written February 20, 2019

Great experience with Luis - despite the rainy weather we were able to see a lot of the city and hear about not only the history, but a lot of insight into daily life as well. Since the weather was bad he quickly adapted the normal trip to show sites that were easier to reach with the van vs those that required more walking, including going out towards Matosinhos to see the ocean. Port tasting at the end was nice as well.

Nuno picked us up on the scheduled date punctually. He is courteous and very pleasant. He accommodates us to getting a cup of coffee and some pastries because we didn't have a chance to get breakfast. Nuno is a great tour guide. He is very informative, the itinerary took us around the city of Porto, we saw a lot more than just the tourist area. Despite the weather was rainy, because of the convenience of having our own private car tour, we are able to still see places without any hassle. We definitely recommend Nuno to anyone who wants a private car tour.

Ana was an excellent guide. We met her at the entrance to the Livaria Lello (the Harry Potter bookstore). She was so knowledgeable about the history of Porto and was able to execute the itinerary that we had agreed upon in earlier texts. Her driver was extremely pleasant and made our short time in Porto very enjoyable. They took us to sites with magnificent views of the city and Ana gave wonderful descriptions and histories of everything. This was truly one of the highlights of our ten day is it to Portugal and Spain.

Manuel was an amazing tour guide! We absolutely loved our time learning about Portugal from him. He did an excellent job explaining Portugal’s history and answering our questions. His knowledge was incredible - the information about the tiles in the train station to the country’s history to the style of the churches. We saw several parts of the city, and he also took us to the fortification at the mouth of the river/Atlantic ocean and to a port wine tasting. At our request, he recommended a restaurant for lunch, and it was the best meal we had in the area. He was kind, helpful, and informative. A GREAT day!

Our tour of Porto with Manuel was amazing. He picked us up at our hotel in an air-conditioned van that was very comfortable. Our tour included all the highlights of the city, including a 1hr tour and tasting at one of the port houses. Manuel was an expert at navigating the city and finding parking. He dropped us off and guided us through many of the key sites in the city along the river. His knowledge of the history of Porto was impressive. We highly recommend this tour with Manuel!

Porto is a charming city, which is very tumultuous due to the subway works (tappums, cranes and holes on all sides) and excess tourists.
It becomes difficult to walk the streets without getting stuck in people and it is necessary to deviate from holes and tapums.
But the sky remains immense blue and the Douro serene and enveloping.

This was a fantastic tour - we learned a lot about Porto thanks to our well educated and outgoing guide John. The tour format (driving with a few stops) helped us appreciate Porto and surrounding areas much better than just seeing the city center. Highly recommend John for any tour he offers. You’ll have a great experience.

The half-day tour was an excellent investment to learn more about Porto's history and layout. It gave us a solid foundation for further exploration on our own. Manuel was a great guide - very knowledgable and very helpful with answers to our questions. We got to see much more of Porto by car than we could have on foot.

Manual our Tour Master was the most knowledgeable, professional and kind person ever. From start to finish we were given the royalty treatment and we walked away with in-depth knowledge and respect for Porto. Manuel even recommended the best local restaurant for us. You can’t go wrong with this tour service.

We waited 30 minutes on the street before going to where we could make a wifi call to the provider since we got no response to our Trip Advisor text as to where the driver/guide was. The provider was VERY confused at first and didn't seem to know we had a tour booked with them. Finally asked to give them another half hour to see if they could get a driver there. Rather than the agreed upon pick up spot we had to go to the end of the street to wait. Manuel arrived an hour and fifteen minutes late from original start time. Manuel did a nice job giving us an overview of the history of Porto using the Sao Bento train station and the cathedral to explain. We had an early wine tasting/tour so went there next. It was well done. After that we had a panoramic driving tour of Porto including the coastline with informative interpretation by Manuel, but nothing like what the Trip Advisor overview had indicated. Not sure we'll book another tour with Trip Advisor.

Hello,
our group is 4 adults and we are looking for a tour starting Sunday, March 12 in afternoon.
I like this itinerary, however can we customize it to eliminate the Casa da Musica and add in Igreja de Sao Francisco?

Hi, I have a 7 hour layover at Porto. I would like to take a private tour of Porto for 4 hours. (We are a total of 3 passengers). Does this tour offer airport pick-up and drop-off? If not, do you have any other suggestions on how best to utilize 4 extra hours to explore Porto?
Thanks!
