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

Olá, dear traveller. My name is Alessia,born in Italy but raised as citizen of the world, in soul. I studied Foreign Languages and graduated in Tourism as certified European Tour Leader. My inescapable passion for travel, for cultures and photography led me to Portugal, where I fell madly in love with Porto, living it with overwhelming love and losing myself in its history and tradition, among sunshine and waves, breathtaking views, excellent Portoguese wines and cuisine but above all, among the romantic and timeless glimpses of its invincible beauty. Come with me on a journey through the scents of old markets, of stories of authentic people, sailos and conquerors ... till the secret places that only locals and those who enjoy the less touristy routes can know. If you are looking for a tour that can be different from the ones in the catalogues and that will captivate you with Portuguese tales to take home as a precious souvenirs - this is exectly where you will find it.
