Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable and spoke easily understandable English. He showed us all of the sights in both Porto and Gaia. He was obviously proud of his home and rightly so. More of the Duoro valley is now on our wish list.

Ricardo had some secret viewing points where no other tourists were. He gave us a drink of port while we admired the view and took photos- magic

We were so lucky to find Ricardo during our stay in Porto. He and his electric car were exactly what we were looking for. His great knowledge and love for his city and his friendliness and willingness to share his information were exceptional. His open convertible car was far superior to the other vehicles being offered for similar tours. Being in close proximity to the driver, we were able to carry on a continuous conversation with him as we drove through the city, stopping for photo shoots, pointing out all of the historical sites, driving down very narrow streets and alleys to get the best views of the sites in this wonderful city and the nearby beach area and getting his insights on the social and economic conditions of the area. If you want an up close view of Porto, Ricardo is your man!

Ricardo gave us a fantastic tour of the city, including driving us out to the coast which we wouldn't have done on our own. We definitely got a good feel for the city, as this was our first day. We were able to go back to a few places during our stay.

This tour was absolutely ideal! Ricardo brings the beautiful city of Porto to life, not only with his vast knowledge of his city, but with his absolute LOVE of his home. He customized our time together by focusing on our desire to see and learn about some of the city center highlights, and with his uniquely special eco-friendly car, he could safely zip-us around far, far more comfortably than an often quite bumpy tuk-tuk. We were even able to take in some incredible vistas from the Monestary of Serra do Pilar in Gaia, on the opposite side of the Duoro River from Porto. I also have to mention that we were beyond impressed with his insights into the stunning tiles adorning the historic Sao Bento Train Station...we would have missed so much if we were on our own! From personalized hotel pick-up to his special grand finale "treat", Ricardo truly made our intro to Porto so memorable.

Ricardo Almeida ecolocaltours.pt was an excellent and knowledgeable guide who provided an amazing tour of Porto covering the historic district all the way to the ocean. He provided details on all the sights and there were many opportunities to stop and enjoy the incredible views. The eco vehicle was comfortable and navigated the narrow streets easily. Highly recommend!

Ricardo was a wonderful tour guide - very knowledgeable about the history of Porto and Portugal. We enjoyed seeing places that we probably wouldn't have done on our own because of the hills. The port tasting near the end of the tour was a classy touch.

Ricardo is an excellent tour guide! He is very knowledgeable of the history and monuments of Porto. His vehicle is exceptionally comfortable, it has plenty of room for 2 adults to sit side by side. The car is very easy to see out of. The tour covered a lot of ground, it gave us bearings for what’s where on our first day!
