About Tour Guide Ricardo M.

My name is Ricardo 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 this year 2021 with 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 your life.


Come and see my amazing town Porto and Douro Valley Wine Region from the eyes of a local !!!


Hope to see you soon.


Cheers !!!


Ricardo

Highest recommendation

Ricardo was very professional. Impeccable English. Thoroughly prepared. Arrived one day early to meet at hotel and go precisely over group itinerary options and formulation.
