Ricardo led us on a super memorable tour. It was everything we hoped and more. He was able to bring Porto to life for us with so many intricate details. We have so much information to process and do further research on. We really felt that Ricardo went out of his way to make the Jewish tour fun and interesting. He is a superstar and excellent at his job. We would highly recommend him to individuals or groups. Will remember Porto fondly because of him.

this was the tour I was looking forward to the most. The guide was good and informative. I was very very disappointed he didn’t show or tell us about the “ hidden synagogue” which we heard from another guide!
I think he didn’t tell us a lot . In any event was happy to see the old Jewish quarter. Went to Braga to find the synagogue he said was active and noone knew of it!
