The Douro Valley was nothing short of magical, and that magic was brought to life by one truly special guide—Delfim. I was referred to him by my sister, and I can honestly say I’ve never worked with someone so kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of this region.
From the moment we met, Delfim felt like family. He’s adored by every local we encountered, greeted with smiles and open arms wherever we went. He made us feel equally welcome and taken care of, especially when "the girlies" were hurting after a long night in Porto—and Delfim stepped in like a hero. From handing us endless bottles of water, to literally holding our hair back, to securing last-minute lunch reservations with a river view, he went above and beyond.
More than just a tour guide, he was our soundboard, comfort, and cultural ambassador. Delfim curated a perfect day touring Quinta da Crasto, Quinta da Seixo, and Quinto do Pacha, sharing stories of history, heritage, and local flavor at every turn. His deep love for the Douro Valley is infectious, and we left with so much more than just beautiful memories—we left with a true understanding of what makes this region so special.
If you’re ever lucky enough to travel to the Douro Valley, do not miss the chance to work with Delfim. He is one of a kind, and he turned an already beautiful destination into an unforgettable experience.
