Pedro Cardosa was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide. We hired him for 2 days in the Douro and let him design our tour after giving him information on previous European guides we had enjoyed. One day we toured nothern points of interest and the next, southern points of interest. We were not disappointed. The Mateus Palace I had not heard about and was so glad he brought us. His historical perspective was also an intrinsic part of the tours that made it more authentic. Lunch each day was wonderful and our visit to an Espamante producer, Murganheira, was both educational and tasty! Each day was a full day- almost 9 hours! I highly recommend him for a personalized tour of the Douro.
