5.00We had the most wonderful time with Ricardo. We enjoyed our time so much with him the first day we were lucky enough to spend the following day with him. Ricardo showed us all around Porto and nearby areas. We enjoyed all of the wonderful sites, food and history. We were two adults traveling with our 2 year old son. Ricardo made the adventures effortless. We hope our paths cross again in your beautiful country or ours! Thank you for the great memories :)
A proper local experience with the fam.

5.00Did a private tour with Ricardo last year and, honestly, it was the highlight of our trip. He’s a total legend—he knows Porto like the back of his hand and took us to all these cool, off-the-beaten-track spots we’d have zero chance of finding on our own. The best part? He actually kept the kids entertained. We were a bit worried they’d get bored (you know how family tours can be sometimes!), but they had a blast. It made the whole day so much more chill for us. He also hooked us up with a killer local spot for lunch and even hung out with us while we ate. The traditional food was 10/10 and the Port wine... man, it was to die for. Soooo good! If you want a tour that feels more like hanging out with a local pal than a boring history lesson, Ricardo is your guy. Such a vibe. Thanks for the memories!
The Perfect Day in Porto

5.00Ricardo is a fantastic guide with a heart of gold and an incredible sense of hospitality. Before we even met him, he stopped by our hotel to leave some treats for the front desk to place in our room upon arrival. What a kind gesture, and what an amazing welcome to Porto! We met Ricardo at our hotel and began walking through Porto in the morning. He's so relaxed, conversational, and fun to be around. He was the perfect companion to cure our first full day of jet lag. Ricardo has a wonderful ability to pivot his tour for his audience, and he did a wonderful job of balancing religion, art, history, food, and culture for us. In the afternoon, we had lunch in the Porto CBD at an amazing food hall and then took a drive to the coast. Ricardo nailed this tour. He even gave us solid nightlife recommendations, and we had one of our best late nights in years. Thanks, Ricardo!
It was fantastic, saw...

On and off of the Beaten Path

5.00Porto is now one of the most popular destinations in the world, which means it is often flooded with tourists. You need someone who can help you navigate the city’s ins and outs—both on and off the beaten path. Ricardo Manuel of Douro Tours is the ideal guide: knowledgeable, passionate, and truly local. Our visit was beautifully bookended by two of the most sought-after viewpoints in Porto: Miradouro da Vitória and Serra do Pilar. Ricardo took us to these splendid vantage points—beginning and ending the tour in style, the finale made even more special with a high touch: a bottle of perfectly chilled local sparkling wine served in proper champagne glasses atop the Pilar. Porto is a city of natural advantages, its hills giving it a distinctive charm. It is also filled with architectural gems, such as the Ponte de São Luís (designed by Gustave Eiffel), all set against the bright ribbon of the Douro River. The tour offers you the big picture—an overview of the city—but also takes you straight to the must-see landmarks, the ones usually surrounded by long lines of tourists: Livraria Lello, Torre dos Clérigos, Banco de Materiais – Azulejos, Baixa. With Ricardo, you’ll glide through the crowds and always end up with the best seat in the house. Off-the-beaten-path highlights included Ribeira, Foz do Porto, and Matosinhos. We even enjoyed a memorable almoço at Mercado Bom Sucesso—a truly local, out-of-town-feeling experience. We were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, and thanks to Ricardo’s impeccable guidance, we had an unforgettable introduction to Porto. We highly recommend Ricardo Manuel!
A great Porto overview

5.00This is the ultimate insiders tour with a Porto local. Ricardo is gracious, talented and a wonderful spokesperson for his charming “town”. Porto has history and beauty as well as the changes that come from new investment. The many scenic overlooks offer spectacular views of the two sides of the River and the bridges. He can customize per your needs too. Worth it in every way.
Awesome

5.00Ricardo was fabulous. He worked with us to add a few of our requests and was easy to contact throughout planning and the day of our tour. He was on time, personable and knowledgeable. Our day in Porto flew by and he made it incredibly memorable and fun. Cannot say enough about how amazing our time was together.

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Ricardo. He was very helpful with planning our itinerary and also provided some helpful tips regarding getting from the airport. Ricardo was very fun to be with and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. He was sensitive to our needs to rest occasionally but showed us a lot of wonderful sights we had not seen on previous trips to Porto. We highly recommend him!
You will enjoy this tour!

5.00Ricardo is an excellent guide. He is professional, friendly, and very helpful. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Porto! I had recently injured my knee, and Ricardo was able to mix driving to sites and walking in the city when the terrain was easier on my knee. Ricardo is a fountain of information. He also offered excellent suggestions for our stay in Portugal. We highly recommend Ricardo!
Day visit to Porto

5.00Ricardo was incredibly flexible. Our cruise ship arrived four hours late due to High winds. He waited for us and was able to provide a fabulous tour of Porto. We walked the city streets and he took us to some off the beaten path places to see incredible tile work and stunning viewpoints. Highly recommend!
