My name is Luís, but most people know me by my family name, Pena. My curiosity for traveling and knowing new cultures in the world was always evident, I've always said since I was little that when I grew up I want to become a tourist, and that's what I am nowadays. My life in tourism has already taken me to travel and get to know different realities. I started by going to the Highlands, where I worked in hospitality and various other departments, specifically in Edinburgh. I also had the possibility to check out the madness of the Balearic Islands as a hotel animator. But it was my country that I fell in love with, its history, traditions, gastronomy, and the relaxed way we always find solutions to problems. I think the main feature on my tours is my enthusiasm. My passions are to be around nature and do outdoor sports, although these days my free time is spent with my baby girl. I am a local guide in the city of Lisbon, but I know Portugal and its islands very well and for this reason, I can customize any of your tours here according to your preferences. Get to know Lisbon in a relaxed way, while I tell you travel stories. Being a storyteller is one of the main goals of a Tour Guide. I believe I can make a difference on this because of my experience and knowledge of 11 years guiding. Unfortunately, the profession of official guide is not accredited in Portugal, making anyone who has historical knowledge, supposed tour guides. There are only two entities accredited in Portugal: Snatti and Agic. I am a member of one: Snatti. I have a variety of themes in my tours: Cultural, gastronomic, historical, street art, nature, wineries, etc. So discover Lisbon's old neighborhoods with me, through themed tours and choose what you like more about it! In any tour you chose to do, I'll promise you an experience in which you'll feel like a true Lisbon local. Do not miss this opportunity, contact me and see what I have to offer!
