Everything went smoothly with this reservation, from beginning to end. Manuel communicates easily in English, which was critical for us. The cleanliness and accuracy of description was just as we expected, very nice. As in many trips, there were a couple changes in our plans and Manuel helped us adapt to the schedules of trains and other people. He is a true "wonderful host" whom you can expect to share the love for his country and especially his love for the area of Porto! We can highly recommend a stay with Manuel and we hope to return ourselves.

We booked a tour of Porto and also a tour of the Duoro River area with Manuel. We had a very nice day each time and felt that he showed us many parts of both the city and wine country that many people do not get to see. We felt that we had an "insiders" look at the country Manuel loves so much. Thank you for this gift!
