Olá! I’m Ricardo, a Lisbon local who never gets tired of this city's incredible light, rich history, and, of course, the amazing food. I love uncovering hidden gems—whether it's a family-run tasca with the best seafood or a quiet, off-the-beaten-path spot to soak in Lisbon’s charm. You’ll often find me wandering through Mouraria, Alfama, and Bairro Alto, always on the lookout for great food and untold stories. If you want to experience Lisbon like a true local—eating well, discovering secret corners, and feeling the city’s unique contrasts—I’d love to show you around! Obrigado

My husband and I did a 3 hour private walking tour with Ricardo and we saw so much! Ricardo really knows Lisbon and took us to famous spots on everyone’s list as well as lesser knows parts of the city that added charm and authenticity to our experience. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and kind. We loved spending time with him and learning about Lisboa!

We enjoyed our time with Ricardo. From the instant he introduced himself at the dock to the moment we said goodbye at the end of our tour, we felt his personal touch. He took great care in selecting small, intimate neighborhood spots to share with us. We tasted foods from all regions of Portugal and have often reviewed the video of the flaming chorizo brought to our table. We are now fans forever of Portuguese green wine! Thank you Ricardo!
