Ricardo was amazing!!! Excellent tour guide! He was very educated about the history of the Jews in Porto and Portugal ! We went on a hot sunny day and Ricardo made sure we were always in the shade when possible. Highly recommend Ricardo for the Jewish walking tour!

Ricardo is very...

Ricardo is very knowledgeable about Porto Jewish history and shared it with us in an organized and logical progression. He also had a well used collection of photographs and maps to extend our understanding of the past. He was sensitive to our physical abilities, and took the steps and steep streets slowly for our safety.

Jewish tour of Porto

Ricardo, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the subject and very accommodating. He was engaging and because we were a small group it was very personal. I strongly recommend taking this tour especially with Ricardo

Amazing Tour of Porto’s Historic Jewish Quarters

Rick, is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish people of Porto. The tour is packed with deep information, unique historical tidbits, and beautiful views of Porto. I would not only take this tour again, but I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in history. The city of Porto should be great to Rick for sharing his knowledge about apart of history that has been greatly and shamefully neglected. 5-stars!
