It's always a pleasure to show my old contemporary city of Porto, that I love and know every corner like the back of my hand. I'm fluent in English (US), please take a minute to read my reviews, they picture me best. I'm not your typical local guide, I always have a special inside to provide. I lived and study in Porto all my life. I'm a Clinical Psychologist. I enjoy very much doing tours in my beautiful City of Porto, as well as the North of Portugal. The best part of traveling is really getting to know a place with someone who lives there. With me you are guaranteed to have the best local experience and a real sense what Portuguese people are all about, in a easy, relax and fun way. We will explore the best sites and the historical and touristic places. In my tours I also like to show some hidden gems, that you won't find in any travel book. I never do two tours alike, there's always something unique to make it SPECIAL. My tours are PRIVATE, and done on a PERSONAL level! You will always have my full attention. Tours can be all personalized, according to your wishes and preferences. I only do tours for ToursByLocals. com and always adapt the tours to suit the interests and preferences of the travelers. I'm also available to offer a multi-days itineraries, in the North and Center of Portugal. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments.

    We loved our walking tour with Ricardo. This was the first tour we did upon arriving in Porto and it was definitely the best way to start. We did visit the cathedral with him and he gave us time to explore it during our tour. He then recommended which sites would be most interesting to us to visit the next day - even provided some shopping and dining recommendations. ...

    Fabulous introduction to Porto! Ricardo was a treasure of knowledge and shared with us his suggestions for a great visit. He also steered us to a marvelous restaurant for dinner after our tour as well as encouraging us to reach out to him if we had any questions while in Porto. Once again, Tours by Locals exceeded expectations!

    If it’s Tuesday, it must be Porto. And our informative tour guide, Ricardo. What makes a great tour guide? One whose passion, knowledge and depth immerses you into the history, culture and customs of those who populated an ancient city-in our case Porto. Ricardo’s tour was fun and informative. He is a great ambassador for the city. Truly a memorable 3 hours with this...

    Ricardo’s tour was a great first day introduction to Porto. Throughout our time together, he was warm and knowledgeable. We also appreciated how proud he was of his native city. Highly recommend.
