We recently had the pleasure of taking a tour of the Douro River through GetYourGuide.com, and I must say that it was an excellent experience. André was simply outstanding, and I cannot speak highly enough about the level of service that we received. André Botelho was knowledgeable, seeped in local history, and had a deep understanding of the area's culture and traditions. His passion for the region was contagious, and it was evident that he took pride in showcasing its natural beauty and rich history to visitors. The level of attention and accommodation that we received throughout the tour was impressive. André ensured that we were comfortable and taken care of at all times, and he went above and beyond to make sure that we had an unforgettable experience. Whether it was making restaurant recommendations or providing insights into local customs, he was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that we had a great time. But what really stood out to me was André's sense of humor.
