"Our ship was stopping at Leixoes and we wanted a guided tour of Porto. We booked with The Tourists' Affairs through an agent and on the day we were met by Isabel and Joao. We had the most wonderful day with them and saw so much more of Porto than any cruise ship tour could offer. Both Isabel and Joao are very knowledgeable, friendly and fun and it was a pleasure to spend our time with them. (…) We have returned home with very special memories of our day in Porto with Isabel and Joao and would definitely recommend them to other travellers. Thank you to both of you."

“Douro Valley with Joao” "My husband, 14 year old son and I decided to tour the Douro Valley with Joao - our only day in Porto (port stop on a cruise). We are glad we did - it was a fantastic experience. The valley is BEAUTIFUL - truly breathtaking - pictures do not do it justice!!! Joao was friendly and knowledgeable - answering all our questions about Porto, the Douro Valley, Portugal and port wine. While in the Douro Valley we toured 2 wineries and sampled different ports. I found it very interesting even though I am not a big drinker - my husband enjoyed it very much!! Joao suggested a local restaurant for lunch - DELICIOUS - I couldn't stop eating!! We even had some time to spare before boarding the ship, so Joao took us for a quick drive through Porto and photo stop - beautiful. We truly enjoyed the Douro Valley and our time with Joao. Thanks Joao!!"

“Excelente” "Ganhamos de presente de casamento um passeio de um dia saindo do Porto em direção às vinícolas do Douro. Na excelente companhia do João, conhecemos diversas cidadezinhas encantadoras, vinícolas maravilhosas, e fizemos até mesmo um piquenique em uma das quintas. Um dia mais do que especial que ficará para sempre em nossas memórias. Já recomendei o passeio para amigos e recomendo o The Tourists Affairs para todos que queiram sair do convencional e receber um tratamento de primeira. Nota dez!"
