We loved Ricardo and his passionate knowledge of the history and spots of Porto. We covered quite a lot of ground in 3 hours and it was never once dull or boring. We think this is the best way to see the city. We were a party of 3 and joined by only two others so it was such an intimate and manageable group. Ricardo also obliged us by taking a couple of group photos and remained cheerful throughout. Thank you Ricardo for our wonderful experience discovering your beautiful city!

It was so so lovely to meet our guide today and learn all about the amazing city of Porto! Despite the fact it was pouring with rain, it did not dampen our spirits or the spirits of our guide - who kept us smiling and super interested for the whole tour. He was so knowledgeable and incredibly hospitable, ensuring we had a great time. We loved the fact that the tour group was small and that we were able to see so many places but didn’t feel like we were rushed at all. Would highly recommend - thank you so much!

Ricardo was an excellent guide. My sister and I had his exclusive time so able to ask him questions. His knowledge and enthusiasm for Porto was infectious. He gave us so much information about the history of Porto, and gave detailed descriptions of everything we were visiting. An excellent tour, thank you Ricardo.
