I'm Hermes C., your private tour guide in Lisbon
Guide #64738
Hi, my name is Hermes, a private guide based in Lisbon with a background in corporate events. I was born in Cascais, a coastal town west of Lisbon known for its multicultural environment. During my teenage years, I had the opportunity to travel across the country, experiencing different Portuguese traditions and visiting most of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Portugal. After 20 years of professional experience in corporate events, in 2014 I decided to embrace a new professional project: welcoming and introducing Portuguese culture to those who visit us. Each tour is designed as a private event, with attention to detail and a focus on your experience. My daily goal is to see smiles on my clients’ faces and share with them the love I have for my country and its history. I enjoy reading novels, walking through historic streets, travelling, meeting people, and talking about Portuguese history and culture. All my tours can be personalized according to your preferences — please do not hesitate to ask. Working as a tour guide since 2014 Operating Portuguese tourism license: 276/2014

Hermes was an outstanding guide for this tour! Our family needed to modify the tour to fit our schedule and Hermes was extremely helpful in arranging and executing a great plan for our situation. We learned a lot and loved getting to know Sintra! Awesome!

Hermes is a 5+ on a scale of 5. He is a wonderful tour guide – friendly, extremely knowledgeable with excellent English, and he gives you 120% to make the excursion a day you’ll remember (in a positive way)! The guide we originally booked (and who had already taken us on a Lisbon tour 3 days prior) cancelled at the very last minute. I got notice from ToursByLocals at...

Hermes provided an excellent experience. He was prompt, courteous, informative, & well-organized. The tour of Pena Palace was fantastic, as were his viewpoints of Sintra. He chose an excellent lunch spot outside Cascais which we greatly appreciated. I found both Sintra & Cascais to be a little touristy and therefore not my most favorite part of the Portugal...
