"Fantastic! We always make sure to collaborate with Rui for one of his Douro wine tours. Rui is one of Portugal’s leading wine experts; knows every winery both the large, more established ones as well as the small, emerging gems. Speaks excellent English; very funny and knowledgeable. Just love Rui the famed Road Butler!"

"My family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) had the BEST day with Rui! He picked us up from our hotel, drove us to two great wineries and a fantastic lunch, then returned us safely at the end of a long, exciting day. He was great with our kids, too! Highly recommend!"

"Rui is on time, reliable and very knowledgeable. He took my wife, myself and 2 friends out for 6 hours. The stops included must see tourist spots and also asked us where we would like to go. We had lunch and snacks with him throughout the day. We wanted to do a port tasting and he took us to an amazing place. Would definitely recommend him, very professi..." Read more

"Fantastic driver and tour guide. Rui made our trip to Portugal even more memorable. For us, he planned 1) an amazing day in the Douro Valley which included 2 wineries and a wonderful lunch; 2) a birthday dinner prepared by an EXCELLENT Chef; 3) Full day outings along the coast and inland. Rui is the best. I HIGHLY recommend him."

"We organised a private wine tour of the Duro Valley with Rui The Road Butler and it was a fantastic day! Two (2) wineries, site seeing and lunch, being chaffered in a very luxurious & comfortable car. Was just told Rui what we were looking to do and he made the rest of the plans. We chose a private tour as it is more personal and we could bring a family..." Read more

"Rui was very responsive and kind during the whole process of my trip. He picked me up very late at night and even made an extra stop so I could get my keys. I am very appreciative of his service."

"Rui is an excellent guide. He took my family and I on a great tour of the Douro Valley, including a private winery tour. He's knowledgable, prompt, and a great driver. By the end of the day, we all became good friends. The tour was more reasonably priced, per person, than if we had gone on a large, generic tour. I highly recommend!"

"Rui offers top-notch service, very knowledgeable about the places we inquired about in Porto. We just needed to mention something, and he was already ahead to make the experience as smooth as possible. Also unbelievably punctual, attentive and courteous. I can’t recommend it enough!"

"I had a great trip to the Douro Valley recently with Rui. I toured a potential retreat location and then we headed to Regua for a brief visit to the Douro Museum and a glass of port. He took me to a great little place for lunch where they served really nice fish and traditional dishes. After lunch we toured a Quinta and had a wine tasting. He's very knowledg..." Read more

"Very efficient and friendly service which I can highly recommend. We had a wonderful four hour trip from the airport to our home. All our baggage (we had a lot) was carefully loaded in the car and upon arrival taken into the house. I wished we had another trip planned soon as I so enjoyed the company and his knowledge about Portugal."

Rui is knowledgeable and knows all the best loc..." Read more
