Hola! Encantado de conocerte

I was born and raised in the wonderful city of Porto and even though I love travelling I never lived anywhere else in my life. I am 35 years old and I also love translating, which I do professionally since 2006, the year I graduated. I also love a good movie and different types of music, particularly from the 1960s and 70s. There is nothing better than a glass of good Portuguese wine with some jazz or Brazilian bossa nova (or even fado, depending on the mood).

As I said before, one of my biggest passions is football and the main city club, FC Porto. The first time I went to the stadium was with 10 years old and since then my interest kept growing.

As a translator, of course I read a lot, being my favoritte book The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde.

Look forward to meeting you and show you the wonders of Porto.

Rui is a super-friendly, well-educated and chill tour guide. His tour is well prepared and he has nice background stories to share about the city. He tailored his talk to our needs and there was plenty of room for questions. We really wouldn't have wanted to miss this and can definitely recommend Rui if you want to know what’s behind this beautiful city!Best tour guide in town!

We were lucky enough to have Rui as our guide for the walking tour of Porto. His knowledge of and enthusiasm for his home city was outstanding. His approach was relaxed and unhurried and the choice of a traditional Portuguese tavern for lunch was a good one. It might not be for everyone but for me an added bonus was his local football knowledge. I would recommend the tour with Rui unconditionally. Outstanding Walking Tour of Porto

We took a great walking tour with Rui in Porto. He gave us alot of the history of Porto as we strolled by many important landmarks. He has a very nice and friendly personality. He was able to recommend a few very good local restaurants which we tried and enjoyed very much. I would stringly recommend him to anyone visiting Porto who is looking for an informative and pleasant walking tour.Experience Porto

Rui was friendly and easygoing. Gave us lots of insight into the beautiful city of Porto and answered our myriad questions. Walking was easy despite Porto’s many hills as we started at the highest point and wandered downhill. Provided great suggestions for my gluten intolerant diet. We had a great tour and feel we made a friend A friendly and informative morning

Rui was a fantastic tour guide. It was our first full day in Porto and the tour helped us get our bearings and understand some of the history and main highlights of the city. He was kind, interesting, and friendly, and guided us at a pace that worked for all three generations (14-76 years old). As a lifelong resident of Porto, he had excellent knowledge of the city. We’d highly recommend a walking tour with Rui!Wonderful time with Rui

Our tour with Rui was everything we hoped it to be. We appreciated how personable and knowledgeable he is about the city. We took this tour during the last couple days of our stop in Porto, and we learned even more about the city than we could find on our own. He was also very flexible given the sites we had already seen. Rui felt less like a tour guide and more like a friend giving us a tour of the city he so obviously loves!
