Luis R. The Proud Portuguese I'm a family man who likes to enjoy the simplest pleasures of life: Travelling, good cinema, sports, friends and, naturally, has a good portuguese, I love our gastronomy and nothing relaxes me better than to cook for those I love the most. Born in Lisbon and raised in Mozambique, I've seen it all. From the beauty of the african sunset to the richness of an european country like Portugal. My father was a photojournalist and I was lucky enough to walk beside him throughout various coverstories in my childhood. At school my favourite subjects where Geography and History. Altogether what already was a birth passion, became a desire for the future. Life circumstances made me return to Portugal, where I specialized in graphic design and worked for several years. My experience in working as a teamleader, along with the admiration and love for my country, brought me to where I stand. You can think of me as the grafic designer that decided to share his life passion with the rest of the world. Portugal is one of the most significant civilizations in the World's History. The battles fought against the foreign invadors, trading after sailing for the unknown, the discovery of completely new sailing instruments and techniques lead us to the monopoly of territory discovery and conquest. The portuguese legacy is tremendously vast and rich and that's what I have to show to everyone opened up to new horizons and cultures. My main operating areas are Sintra, Fátima, Algarve and the Knights Templar's Route, although I'm totally available to customize any other route you wish. In my tours you will discover places, food, History and beauty beyond your greatest expectations. You will get to know better the most amazing cities and regions, that will provide you a unique life experience. Our small paradise in the atlantic coast awaits you. And so do I. Come along! You wont't regret it. Three years guiding on-field training Customers fully insured None

    This was a wonderful tour, and we recommend Luis with no reservations. The 5 of us (all seniors, two couples, and one single) fit easily in his large Mercedes Van. His knowledge of Portugal and its history, and his ability to communicate it, were excellent. As we drove, he continually told us what we were seeing and did it loudly enough that we all could hear. He...

    Early on during or trip Luis determined our interests and adjusted the basic plan to suit our individual preferences. It was great. He took us across the bridge from Belem to visit the monument to Christ the King in Almada and showed us the various museums in the Belem area. From there we head north to Cascais along the coast enjoying beautiful views and steady...
