Hello, My Name is Rui Pedro and I'm a private guide, based at this beautiful city of Porto. I have been a private tour guide for 8 years now. Always been a passionate about history and despite having worked as a Business Manager for more than 15 years, the performance of this function allowed me to travel to several countries in Europe and South America, even living some time in Brazil and London. This contact with diverse cultures and different people, coupled with my passion for history and my ability to communicate, gave me a knowledge base that allows me to play naturaly my role as a tour guide. Apart my passion, I love my country and my city of Porto, so beautiful and rich in historic facts, well knowned for its wine, its gastronomy, and its frendly people, considered World heritage by UNESCO. I have prepared a set of tours for you to choose, all customizable. I also have the ability and the means to easely adjust or create a customized tour due to your interests, half-day, full-day or even multi-day, all over Portugal or Spain. It will be a pleasure to have the opportunity to be your private guide. Looking forward to meet you. . . Rui Pedro P. I qualified to work under the License of Tourism of Portugal nº652/2015. I am not an official guide and will not be able to guide guests inside of certain historical monuments.

Rui did a great job showing us the sites in Porto. We covered a lot of ground during the tour and did not feel rushed. We definitely got our steps in for the day but felt we got a great overview of the city. He answered questions and kept us engaged through the tour.

We were very happy with Rui Pedro as an our tour guide in Porto. Not only he was knowledgeable and informative when talking about history of Porto but also he was very attentive to all our needs and ready to accommodate. Rui Pedro is absolutely one of the best tour guides in Porto.

If you are looking for a guide with considerable passion & knowledge of Porto, then Pedro is recommended. He has a very pleasant demeanor and we enjoyed his company. He patiently answered all of our questions about the area. Thanks to him, we have fallen in love with Porto & cannot wait to return. Due to circumstances out of his control, Pedro was a few (less than ten) minutes late, but he kept us informed on his expected arrival and gave us extra time to make up for it- so in the end, no harm done.

Pedro was not only proficient with English and very knowledgeable about the people and sites of the city but he was also a gentleman with excellent personal skills. He took the time to understand what we were looking for in our tour before we began. Great tour today!
