Do not hesitate to use Portoalities if you are thinking of a wine tour in Douro Valley. Sara is knowledgeable, friendly and went out of her way to create a unique experience for our group. The vineyards were carefully chosen to suit our needs: small, beautiful, and with a variety of wines that we really enjoyed.
From historians to engineers and musicians, our eclectic team has one thing in common: our knowledge and passion for Porto and Douro Valley. Come and meet us!
This adventure started with Sara, a proud Industrial Engineer from Porto. When she is not writing on the blog or managing sales, you will find her studying military history (for real), hiking in Gerês or endlessly discussing where to have the best francesinha.
Rodrigo graduated in International Relations, but, besides Porto, his greatest interest has always been History. A fan of reading (and writing) fantasy stories, he now has an excuse to add all of these passions up and talk about Porto as if it came out of one of the books he loves so much.
Born and raised in the Douro Valley, Sara doesn’t just guide tours—she shares her home. With deep roots in the region and a love for its people and traditions, she’ll show you the Douro like only a local can.

WOW! What a fantastic tour! I saw some truly fun places and saw what Porto is like outside of the tourist attractions, and I did it with some very fun people. Take the tour.
The tour guide was very friendly, very responsive and shared not only the information about the places we visited but also about their own experiences. It really brought it home for me. Take the tour.
It was even easy to do for an old guy … I mean … for a retired gentleman of a certain age … like me!
Did I mention you really, really should take the tour? Yeah, you should.
Fantastic one of a kind tour! It was a unique off the beaten path type of tour starting at Bonfim and ending beside a cliff overlooking Gaia and Dom Luis bridge. What stoke me during the tour was the Bonfim metro with the hidden archaic remnants. First time to see it after living for 15 months in Porto. I thought we’ve seen it all! Great job!!
I went on the Off the Beaten Path Porto tour, in the Bonfim neighborhood, and it was incredible. Rodrigo (an amazing guide) showed us very interesting places, unusual azulejos, told us about the Portuguese freedom fighters and many other interesting stories about Portugal and Porto. The tour is a great mix of history, personal stories and breathtaking views of Porto, making it an unforgettable experience!
