Guide #33618
My name is Ricardo Manuel and I was born and raised in Porto City. Although tourism changed Porto for the best (in my opinion) for the last 5 years, me and my family had to move out from Porto, into the bush, housing and living costs became very high and we made the choice that we should move out to the countryside. In this last year 2020 and even in 2021 with a pandemic, work just fell down drastically and we had to adapt. Making Port Wine, Muscat Wine and sometimes olive oil in a amatuer way since 2014, this hobbie become my family income. With vineyards and olives fields almost abandoned from the pandemic I rolled up my sleeves and went to work, asking neighbours and friends if I could keep their grapes and olives for harvest time, their answers were immediately YES Dividing my life between Porto and Douro Valley, me and my family feel completely safe, happy and relaxed with this new way of living. Come and see my amazing town Porto and Douro Valley Wine Region from the eyes of a local !!! Hope to see you soon. Cheers !!!

Ricardo bubbles with energy, enthusiasm, goodwill and knowledge. He's the sort of guy you would want as a friend. His good cheer complements an encyclopedic knowledge of Porto. After our half day was over, he sent us a number of WhatsApp messages with map links to sites we just couldn't get to. His consistent 5 star ratings are no typo or accident. They're deserved.

Ricardo is outstanding! He provided a great, entertaining tour and included a wonderful lunch at traditional Portuguese restaurant. You don’t need to look any further for a Porto guide!

What a wonderful day and Ricardo made everything easier for us. We got to see everything and skipped all the lines. He showed us details that we would never have seen on our own. One of the many highlights was a chocolate and port tasting in an out of the way location so that we had a private tasting without the crowds. Thank you Ricardo!
