My name's Rui, I'm 29 and I am Portuguese photographer & architect who loves to share a little about the city I grew up in! My points of view of the city will be more focused on having fun and taking some pictures, but I'll also share some history and some fun facts!

Tour description
My name's Rui and I'll be your guide through the hidden gems and the photo spots in Porto!
I'm a local who's been shooting around the city for several years and going to get the local pastries, dishes and drinks from the places where the menus and the food are Portuguese - not meant to trick the tourist into thinking they're having a nice local meal, but actually having a local meal!
I'm a photographer now, but I have a Masters in Architecture from the Porto faculty (FAUP), from which I took a lot of knowledge about the city too!
Let's have some fun walking around this historical, whimsical and tasteful city!
