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 !!!

This walking tour with Ricardo was an excellent way to get oriented with Porto. We felt much more comfortable in the city after our tour with him. He is knowledgeable and very pleasant to be with. I would 100% recommend this tour with him.

Ricardo was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond he knew so much about the area and was so much fun. He knew that I had celiac disease and he made sure that I was accommodated at turn. He even showed up at my hotel the day we were checking out with gluten-free nata. I highly recommend the tour specifically Ricardo.

Ricardo made our day in Oporto. He was extremely courteous, understood our physical needs as we are elderly, and continue to travel and be adventurous. He showed us all the wonderful parts of Oporto and went out of his way to show us others on our “bucket list”.
