UNIVERSE is a DMC — Destination Management Company, specializing in creating private and personalized experiences in Portugal, with a special focus on the Douro region and the route connecting Porto to the heart of Castile.

Co-founded by Miguel Rodrigues, a professional with 14 years of experience in marketing in the high-end hotel and restaurant industry in São Paulo, Universe was born from a different vision of tourism: discovering less traveled territories, valuing local communities, and transforming heritage, history, gastronomy, wines, and nature into memorable experiences.

We create exclusive itineraries for travelers seeking authenticity, comfort, and knowledge, bringing them closer to the people, traditions, and places that define each territory.

Our mission is to connect destinations, cultures and people, revealing the Douro beyond the traditional tourist routes and building a new way of traveling between Porto, Douro, Zamora and Valladolid.

Because we believe that traveling is not just about seeing places, it's about creating a relationship with them.
