Full-Day Highlights of Porto with Private Transportation - Shore Excursion

Hello, my name is Ricardo, I was born and raised in Porto, so I'm an authentic "tripeiro". I lived in cities such as London, Paris, and later Lisbon, and 10 years ago I returned to Porto, my hometown! I have a degree in Fine Arts, so in addition to being a tourist guide, I am also a creative mind. I've worked in various fields and started my professional activity after university studies, as a teacher in high schools. Later I started working as a freelance graphic designer and page layout, created my brand, and collaborated with various national and international publishers. As an entrepreneur, I had a store selling organic food products, one of the first stores in the city of Porto, one of my greatest challenges!!! In 2017 I changed my area and decided to take a risk, applying for a position as a tour guide with a renowned company in the city. After a year and a half of experience, I felt I could go it alone and create my own experiences. I'm passionate about art, history, culture and gastronomy. Besides loving what I do in tourism or arts, I have another passion which is the ocean, I am a veteran bodyboarder. I have a license from Turismo de Portugal as a tourism animation agent with RNAAT nº1320/2018. I therefore have 6 years' experience as a guide. As a tour guide, I have the CLEAN & SAFE recognition and certification awarded by TURISMO DE PORTUGAL, since I have implemented an internal protocol that, by the recommendations of the Directorate-General for Health, ensures the necessary hygiene to avoid risks of contagion and guarantees safe procedures for your operation. I aim to offer maximum confidence, as well as guarantee compliance with the requirements decreed for the prevention and control of COVID-19. I cannot guide inside museums that offer their guides.
