I am a certified guide and I have been leading and guiding hundreds of tours in the last 12 years. With me you will visit both the well-known tourist attractions as well as the secret gems. Thanks to my extensive experience working as a private guide for a wide variety of travelers I have learned to be a mix between a scholar tour guide and a local expert. The passion for my country took me in the direction of tourism. I live my life in a passionate way and always follow my dreams, being them professional or hobbies. Studied Tourism, have a Degree in Management, have a Master in Relationship Marketing, with a thesis about the relationship airlines have with their clients using social media, and a Postgraduate Degree in Tour Guiding. I love Art, History, Music, Photography, Nature and Surf (with 500 miles of coastline why not?). Portugal is a place where many things are possible and where the sun is always shining. My experiences as a tour guide and in life have taught me that each individual or group is unique, that what is interesting for one person may be boring for another. One of my strengths is my ability to rapidly get to know individuals and build a fluid and open conversation with them in order to understand their requirements and tailor the tour to them. Based in Lisbon, I have a selected offer of tours that reflect the passion for this city and region. Strong on details I notice numerous things that the untrained eye misses. I will show you the distinctive features of my city, explain its history, as well as provide you with a wide range of information on the sights, landmarks and local artists. A tour, in my opinion, is more than just an experience; it is an encounter between you and a new culture. I'll be the bridge, interpreteer, a local friend teaching you all about the visited destination and beyond. At the end of the tour I will help you to plan what to do and where to go or eat, in case you are staying a few more days in Lisbon. I am a certified guide and a father of a beautiful son since 2019. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. - Official Certified Guide by AGIC nº291 (I am allowed to guide inside all monuments in Portugal) - Studied Tourism - Degree in Management - Master in Relationship Marketing - Postgraduate Degree in Tour Guiding - Own a licensed company with all insurances required and registered at the national tourism board: RNAAT: 900/2019 No restrictions.

Tiago did an excellent job with our customized tour to Obidos Nazarian Fatima. He’s especially knowledgeable about Fatima and was an excellent guide in navigating the various important parts of the sanctuary end of the Shepherd‘s homes. We fit in a trip to Nazar where the waves were outstanding. We added the medieval town of Obidos which was a very interesting start to...
This was the only bad tour we've had 5+ years of using Tours by Locals. Tiago seemed most interested in avoiding traffic - which granted can be bad going between Sintra and Lisbon - but that was what defined what we could do on the tour. He actually talked down the National Palace which we had specifically asked to do and left us on our own in town to get lunch and shop....

Replied from Tiago B.
Thank you for your feedback. My priority is always my guests comfort. After Pena Palace, I noticed the steep terrain was very strenuous for a member of your party, so I suggested a more accessible afternoon in Cascais, which was agreed upon. In Sintra, I circle in my vehicle due to strict parking rules to provide 'on-call' pickup. I only learned you visited the National...
I booked this tour for my clients. Tiago was wonderful to work with while we got it scheduled. My clients enjoyed the tour! Here's what they said: "Tiago was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable.
