Tour guide in Lisbon José C.

I'm working as a Touristic and Entertainment Manager and Consultant since 2004. Before (from 1996-2003) I had an international diplomatic career at the EU that made me travel a lot. So I've really experienced, as a traveler, the advantages of having a local guide to help me to get the true flavor of local reality. Both of these professional experiences made myself a tour guide that shows the reality of my country through a local eyes. I try to put all my training, my knowledge and sensibility at the service of my clients, offering them the best of the best. I like to show visitors what is beyond the standard, normal, and conventional tourist-made itineraries. I am really used and passionate to contact with people from other cultures, so my customers are like my family for a few days.
