Tour guide in Lisbon Sandra P.

Hi there! I'm Sandra, a history buff and qualified Official Tour Guide. Welcome to this stone book that is Portugal! I feel so fortunate to be a true born and bred Lisbon local. A charming city of the Old Continent blessed with more than 300 sunny days a year. And we Portuguese certainly make the most of it, with terraces and squares on every corner! I am an experienced Guide specializing in day trips from Lisbon and museum guided tours. All peppered with a strong passion for history, art and storytelling. As a big time history lover, it's no big surprise that I am a fan of the History Channel. And, being passionate about the history of the Portuguese Templar Knights (a personal favourite), I of course follow The Curse of Oak Island. When I'm not guiding, you'll find me browsing old bookshops for another history book, or enjoying a sunny day on the terrace of a Lisbon café overlooking the wide Tagus river. HOW IT ALL STARTED I'm a Journalism graduate and studied in Australia for a year - many moons ago. Back in Portugal, I took a career turn, went back to school and started all over again. I've always loved history and, as a former journalist, I like nothing more than sharing a tale or two. And that's how I started sharing stories with people like you. I've been lucky enough to have this "job" since 2014. WHAT I PROMISE All the must see sites, but also the hidden gems. Jaw-dropping architecture, hidden alleys and history and stories of ancient times. For day tours from Lisbon, I drive a Mercedes-Benz Vito which can accomodate up to 7 passengers (fully air-conditioned) or a Mercedes E-Class for up to 3. Do not hesitate to get in touch with me. I'm more than happy to share my insider tips and hints. See you in Portugal.
