Why choose Duca for your Private Tours in Portugal?

Duca was born from my simple passion: showing the authentic Portugal through bespoke experiences.

Even the name is a personal promise. It is a tribute to my family, combining the surnames of my wife and daughter (Duarte & Catalão). This reminds me daily that every guest should be treated with the same safety, trust, and dedication as my own family.

Today, Duca is more than just me. I have selected a small team who share my values. Whether your journey is led by me personally or by one of my trusted experts, we guarantee the same high standard of discretion and excellence.
