I'm Gui (as all my friends call me), a 39-year-old local from Lisbon who loves his little corner of the world so much that I dream of making others fall in love with its cultural and historical richness. A student of Portuguese history, culture, literature, and language, I was only absent from my hometown for a year, when I decided to embraced the challenge of studying in Florence, Italy. Marveling at my country's historical and cultural connections with other countries and places around the world and over the centuries, I got lost in the labyrinth of all these intricate and constant tangents. Even today, instead of looking for a way out of them, I scrutinize every new and intriguing corner of this endless maze with the curiosity of a neophyte, aiming to call each of these new curious regions my home. I want you to discover all of my favorite places near Lisbon, in addition to Lisbon itself. From Sintra and its romantic mysticism to Cascais and its maritime voluptuousness, as well as Serra da Arrábida and its wild nature that hides corners that are both intoxicating and sacred. Then there's Óbidos and its medieval ambience, and Nazaré with its waves that crush forgotten legends & myths. We can't forget about Alcobaça and Batalha, with its Romanesque and Gothic monasteries, or about Tomar, once the capital of the Order of the Temple in Portugal. Queluz, Mafra and Ajuda and their magnanimous royal palaces are also worth mentioning, as well as the city-museum of Évora, also the best oasis for any desert. Join me on these journeys through Portugal's culture. From raw history, to cooked cuisine, scrambled architecture, tasteful music, a thousand textures literature and sweet, sour and spicy stories.

We had a fantastic day in Sintra with Gui and would absolutely book with him again. From the very beginning, everything was easy and enjoyable. Gui arrived early, was completely relaxed and flexible, and immediately made us feel like we were spending the day with a friend rather than being on a formal tour. What really set Gui apart was the depth of his knowledge. He...
Gui was such a great guide with a love for his country. He was very quick to respond to any questions or requests we had. We wanted to spend more time at Quinta de Regaleira and he made that happen - giving us lots of information along the way. The local pastry stop in Sintra was an added surprise and the lunch on the spot at the beach was great! We needed to be back...
Highlight of my visit to Lisbon. This sampler provided me with a overview of this wonderful city. Guilherme was excellent and as someone who is interested in history and culture, he filled in many details. A word about his driving - he is amazing at navigating and staying utterly calm in the chaos of the streets!
Guilherme was fantastic. He listened to our requests, and he helped us have the best day possible in Sintra. Our original guide was sick, but Gui swooped in to save the day. Full of knowledge and cultural stories, we learned so much about this beautiful country and this special place. We would highly recommend Gui for his warm nature and excellent guide skills. Thank you...
