      Exceptional personalized tours in the Douro Valley
      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.

      Ticked all the boxes on my list!
      The reason we chose this tour was because it included a visit to the Mateus Palace which was at the top of my list of things to see while staying in Porto. The rest of the tour sounded good but went way above and beyond any expectations we had. Although it felt like I randomly booked this tour, I think it was divine intervention that led us to enjoy this unforgettable day! We assumed a "small group" meant we would be with about 12 or so other people but we were pleasantly surprised to find out that there was space for only one other couple and they ended up cancelling so we has an all day private tour with our delightful tour guide, Pedro! Pedro was friendly and easy to talk to. He was well organized and took care of all the details. He had a vast knowledge of information but didn't overwhelm us with a lot of history and was able to describe it in an interesting and humorous way. Pedro also had an incredible knack for avoiding the crowds. We arrived at each stop either just before or just after the big bus loads of people. From our first stop of coffee and pastries to our last stop - sipping a port inspired drink while overlooking the breath taking landscape at sunset, and all the beautiful and delicious stops in between. It was a wonderful experience and one we will always remember with fond memories and photos! Thank you Pedro for making our first trip to Porto a memorable one! 💕 "Dios te Bendigo..."

      This is the tour you want to book!!
      I cannot say enough good things about our full day tour with Pedro in the Douro Valley! It turned out that my husband and I were the only people on the tour that day, so we got a very personalized experience. Here are some of the many positive things I can say about Pedro: he is super knowledgeable and clearly very proud of his northern Portuguese heritage. We not only learned a lot about port wine production, but also many things about the history of this wonderful country. We never felt rushed (despite my constantly stopping to take pictures), and there was plenty of down time during the day. Pedro has a fabulous, comfortable Mercedes Van. He’s a great driver. The lunch meal he arranged for us was delicious and plentiful! We got to taste two different port wines as well as white and red table wines. We appreciated that he respected some of the food restrictions we had told him about. My husband and I have travelled quite a bit in our lives, and we both felt that the Douro Valley was one of the most beautiful places we had ever been to. I know that our experience there was greatly enhanced by spending the day with Pedro.

      Wonderful family experience!
      Pedro was so wonderful and this trip exceeded our expectations. We are traveling with our 3/6 year olds which can be difficult, especially with long drives, wine tasting and vineyards. He was so kind to the kids and thought of every detail (kids music in the car, tons of snacks, little gift for them). The Duoro River cruise was beautiful, lunch was delicious and the port tasting was in one of the most beautiful locations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Pedro for your next trip to the area!

      A day to remember!
      What a beautiful day we had! The weather was uncertain and a little cold but we could make all the stops without rain. And they were many stops all interesting with many explanations from Pedro who knows a lot. From Amarante and the visit of the center with a stop at a café to the visit at the palace of Mateus, what a beautiful place, along with a wine degustation of their own production, to the stop for lunch in a little village with a delicious meal with wine (a lot!) to a tour boat on the Douro, we had a marvelous experience. Of all the tours proposed for the Douro valley, I find myself so lucky to have picked the tour with Pedro! It’s a long day although very smooth (the wine helps!) but at the end you will understand better Porto wine industry and Potuguese culture. Thank you very very much Pedro for this wonderful experience.

      What more could you want? A beautiful guided day
      Our tour with Pedro was wonderful. He was prompt, courteous, and charismatic. He was very knowledgeable, a longtime local with abundant facts and history to share about Portugal and all the places we visited. The views of the Douro Valley were stunning along the way. We had an excellent lunch and our fill of various wines and ports throughout the tour. The boat tour was a nice end to the day before driving back to Porto. The van was also spacious and comfortable. Can't say enough good things about the tour - would definitely recommend!

      The Best Guide in the Duoro Valley
      I highly recommend Pedro to guide you through an AMAZING day in the Duoro Valley. What sets him apart is that he genuinely cares about his clients. He has encyclopedic knowledge of wine and the Duoro Valley and will customize the tour to meet your particular needs and desires. And most important, he is extremely likeable and a joy to spend the day with!

      Pedro and North-On-Wheels Duoro Wine Tour - WHAT A GREAT DAY!
      We took the NOW Wine Fest Tour - Vinho Verde, Douro White and Red, Favaios & Port. Pedro was a friendly and very knowledgeable guide and a pleasure to spend the day with. The day was very well organized, and everything was included in the tour package cost as he had outlined.

      See Portugal through new eyes!
      We had the most amazing time touring the northern region of Portugal! Pedro introduced us to the region through informative and educated eyes. He taught us about the history of Portugal, wine and introduced us to local cuisine and treats (Romeo and Juliet). He went out of his way to extend our trip and take my daughter and I across the border to Spain so she was able to say she'd visited Spain. It was incredibly thoughtful of him to do so. Pedro made all the stops we asked (plus more) and was more than gracious with our and his time during the excursion! I can't recommend this tour enough! You will see Portugal through new eyes! Thank you Pedro!

      Tour of the Douro River valley from Porto to Pinhao
      I doubt that you can find any better English speaking tour guide than Pedro for an excellent day trip from Porto up through the Douro River valley. Despite the less than ideal weather, Pedro made our day fascinating and fun from beginning to end. He has an in depth knowledge of the river valley history, and his selection of stops was spot on. Food and wine (a lot!) were outstanding, transportation I comfortable and spacious. Pedro is an excellent driver and amazing guide. You won't be disappointed!

      Best one day tour and guide we might imagine.
      Sr. Cardoso gave us a phenomenal tour of the Douro Valley that, in retrospect, doesn't seem possible to have occurred in a single day. In our opinion, this is the best way to go, with a knowledgeable guide providing historical background information and knowing when and where to see the best sites and sights. His careful, thoughtful planning made the day comfortable and interesting for a small group with diverse needs. Muito obrigado Sr. Pedro, we had a wonderful time in your company.

      A special day in the Douro Valley with Pedro Cardoso
      Our visit to the Douro Valley with Pedro Cardoso was one of the best tours my husband and I have had. Pedro was outstanding. He made the complex history of Portugal interesting and comprehensible. The itinerary was excellent - the coffee break with pastries and cathedral visit in Amarante, the Mateus Palace visit, the wine tastings, the delicious lunch, the relaxing river cruise, and the clever pacing (we avoided the tour buses). After the tour Pedro sent us a souvenir map with photos he took of us in various locations. A wonderful memory to have of a special day. Thank you, Pedro!

      Pedro: Above and beyond expectations
      Pedro was by far the most fantastic guide ever. He is passionate, knowledgeable, articulate and so much fun! He was so easy to listen to, and so responsive to all our questions. We talked about everything - of course all the sites we saw, but also about Portugal religion, economy, politics, family. There were 4 of us on the tour and by the end of the day, the 5 of us hugged and kissed goodbye. Pedro took lots of pictures of us which he forwarded to us right away - wonderful memories/keepsakes. I’d give him 10 stars!

    To learn about another culture from a local is an enriching experience. Pedro shares Portugal in his own unique way, through food and stories. We had rich conversation and learned about our culture influenced Portuguese history. With every stop, we experienced Portugal through Pedro's excitement about sharing his culture. We would definitely spend another day with Pedro.

    Aveiro is a lovely town. Pedro came with us everywhere but made sure we had local guides to get all the information, on the moliceiro cruise, Aveiro city tour and at the salt flats, although I think Pedro knew just as must or more. Pedro is well versed in all the attractions and his tour was well planned out. We weren't rushed anywhere and when he saw we were interested in something, he allowed us time to look. Lunch was fabulous. He asked if we would like to order or if he should order for us. We let him order after finding out what we liked and if we had allergies, I'm glad we did. It was delicious and local. We had such a wonderful time with Pedro we booked two more day trips with him, Minho and the Douro Valley. He is attentive to detail, a good driver, knowledgeable, kind and funny. We forgot he was our tour guide and thought we were out with a friend. Thank you!
