Day experiences for your clients

I · Private, 2–6 guests · about 7 hours

The Porto Day

Three or four places, properly, instead of ten in a hurry — a workshop where you meet the maker, lunch with a cook I know, and a port cellar that doesn't take coach groups.

Included: private guiding · port tasting · photos of your day

Full details

II · Private, up to 6 guests · about 8 hours · day trip from Porto, car and driver included

Aveiro & the Coast

An hour south, the canals run through the middle of town and the architecture turns to Art Nouveau. We skip the canal-boat queue, walk the centre and see the salt pans — then the choice is yours: Costa Nova for the striped houses, or Vista Alegre for porcelain.

Included: private guiding · car and driver from your hotel in Porto · lunch · entrance fees · photos of your day

Full details

III · Private, up to 6 guests · about 9 hours · day trip from Porto, car and driver included

Douro, Properly

A full day in the valley with a driver, so nobody thinks about the road. Two quintas — one you may have heard of, one you certainly haven't — and lunch on a terrace above the river, with no fifth stop we don't need.

Included: private guiding · car and driver from your hotel in Porto · tastings at two quintas · photos of your day

Full details

IV · Private shore excursion, up to 6 guests · timed to your ship · car and driver included

Cruise Day, Rewritten

Don't take the excursion from the ship. Spend your one day in Porto the way you would if you lived here — and I get you back on board with time to spare.

Included: private guiding · car and driver from and back to the ship · port tasting · photos of your day

Beyond a single day: a written itinerary, whole-trip design, occasions and events, and a seven-day small-group journey, Milestone.
