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 !!!

Overview of your Porto tour

Such a small country, but as we go by, you will see that the local people, our traditions, our language, the country landscape, the wine, the food, the pastries, changes every 20 miles, what a great place to live, experience and visit. Because you are awesome and very important to me, I want to show you the very best in Portugal, between Porto and Lisbon, so depending on your interest or personal taste, we can make 2 stops. We will try to escape the more common and touristic places and show you the true nature of a little bit of this country, a garden planted near the sea, at the most western part of Europe. In this awesome private tour, you will experience Portugal from another, relaxed, cultural, friendly, tasty, and cozy place. Relax, you will arrive at your destiny, but expect the unexpected. In the itinerary below, I will describe a list of towns, places, and sites you can choose to visit :) Tour/Transfer is customizable, please inquire.

Thanks to Ricardo, our trip from the Douro Valley to Lisbon was excellent. The large van was very comfortable for our group of 8 and all of our luggage! Ricardo was an excellent driver through the countryside, small towns and big cities. So glad we didn't try to drive on our own. He offered multiple options for our route to cover whatever sites we were interested in seeing. We even changed our itinerary the morning of our trip and he cheerfully accommodated us. He offered endless insights into the history of Portugal and places we visited. We had such an excellent trip, thanks to Ricardo. I will recommend him to everyone.

We had once in a lifetime experiences tailor fit to our interests. Ricardo saw us all the way to our Lisbon hotel and got us there safe and sound and armed to the teeth with great recommendations for the rest of our journey. Highly enjoyed our time.

Ricardo was super nice and knowledgeable. We had a 1.5 year old with us and he never complained or anything when she cried or had a tantrum. He is very knowledgeable and a safe driver. We did so much in Porto and our tour even ran later and he didn't rush us. He took us to a local spot for lunch that is only for 15 people max per day and it was amazing. The wine tours were amazing and it was so nice that he watched our daughter while we did tastings. Love Ricardo!
