Hello future guests… I am a licensed professional & academic private tour operator & host. Join me, for your unique tailor made & exclusive travel experience! I specialize on private tours, customizable or tailor made, at the Center and South regions of continental Portugal. My vision is to deliver A as much as possible authentic Portuguese experience for you, on your journey here. My goals everyday are based on You and the future of my - our - country, Portugal. I work on going beyond guests expectations for the tours, so you can take home the Ones best memories... from your trip. To achieve that I focus on helping you to interpret the places, the history, the culture, going much further than that, speaking about everything else you may want to know: politics, economics, mentality, idiosyncrasies, faults and defects of the society. . . I am sure that I will help you to find links or reasons to identify you with the destinations while visiting. During the time you spend with me, we will find them together! It's very important to feel like you are merging with the places and the locals! Thinking outside the box, focusing beyond the traditional destinations, considering the emerging new ones and places of interest, I will continue to create thematic tours, never rushing or missing on safety. I am motivated by the great Portuguese past achievements and the country's identity, which from this isolated corner land of Europe, shrunk the world into the first global village. By analyzing it - also with your contributions - from Portugal's perspective, I want to continue that Legacy, as is my mission to aspire and work for a much better and brighter Portuguese national and worldwide future, especially to leave for daughter. This is the way I always try to deliver, using a true genuine tourism ambassador approach. This is what the brand I created - SophiaTours - in 2018 represents. Thank you very much for joining me. Enjoy Portugal! Travel Safe. Best Regards. Licensed guide with an Official Bachelor's degree in Tourism Products Management & Master´s in Strategic Management of Tourism Destinations Both by ESHTE - School of Hotel Management and Tourism business of Estoril - Portugal

This was our third tour with Nuno. As always he was very informative and interesting. We got a thorough overview of Lisbon. We visited many neighborhoods and historical sites and were introduced to quite a bit of Portuguese history. It really helped to give us a lot of insights into the development of Portugal. We also visited Cascais. My husband, a James Bond...

Hi Bess and Bill, Thank you so much for this review… brings me great motivation to continue to promote and organize tailor made tours for my guests who feel this way. What a great tour about the spies, WW2 and Ian Fleming in Cascais. So much more to unveil in Portugal about that. Come back always. I had a great time as well. Thank you thank you! Travel safe.
Nuno was an exceptional guide for our tour around Lisbon. He was right on time, was very knowledgeable about everything we were seeing. He was very accommodating to where we wanted to go, what we were really interested in, and made sure we were comfortable the whole day! We highly recommend him for a tour around Lisbon, so knowledgeable about the history going way back...

We have used Tours by Locals for more than 10 years. Nuno was one of the best we have used. Not only was he pleasant to be with, he is one of the most informed about the history of the region. If you get the chance, book him for your vacation. L. Kramer

Nuno was a fantastic tour guide. We have used Tours by Locals numerous times, with all of them being very good, but Nuno was truly exceptional. He was very patient and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you have the opportunity to retain Nuno do so!
