Every one of my tours happens in a very relaxed but attentive way because time is precious and that is unpriced! Hi, my name is Rosa and i'll be very happy to meet you in the Algarve, the southern most province of Portugal. With long years of experience and my certification as a tour guide, I'll make sure your visit to Portugal will be unforgettable. After leaving Africa where I was born, (came as a child to Algarve)i've always felt a great need to travel. It is to me as essential as reading a book. I love history, I need to know the past to better understand the present. Those were strong enough reasons to make me embrace the path of becoming a certified guide, a career that i've been building in Algarve for 33 years! I say building because a guide is like a walking encyclopedia, and we have to be constantly updated. I love the privacy of small groups, no doubt. On my tours you'll be comfortably seated on my own van, air conditioned, fully insured, and legally allowed to be with you everywhere in the country, outside and also inside the monuments. Only official guides can do so! And besides, a van can go to many places totally inaccessable by bus. However, may you need a guide and a coach for a bigger group over 7 people and I sure will provide you other transportation from 14 seater to 55!It is only a matter of availability and budget. My tours are designed to offer private versions of any of the trips available in Portugal or can be tailored to create a unique and very personal travel experience. After all this, you only have to say and I will meet you at the place and time you decide. Looking forward welcoming you to the Algarve! Official Tour Guide, graduated in tourism.

    Our family group of seven adults enjoyed a wonderful day with Rosa. She made sure that the day fit with our interests and pace. It was a day that was beautiful and informative, but still at a relaxed pace. Rosa is a wonderful, personable guide and we all had a day that we will never forget.

    I am reviewing a private bespoke tour for a multi-generational family of nine that took place on June 16, 2026. Rosa was absolutely exceptional. Everything was organized and delivered with warmth, professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care. From the moment the day began, it was evident that Rosa possesses an extraordinary knowledge of the Algarve and a remarkable...

    What a wonderful morning with Rosa! We enjoyed a perfect mix of antiquity and real-life in Faro. Our group was still talking about it a week later! I highly recommend a walking tour with Rosa.

    We recently visited Portugal and had the pleasure of having Rosa show us the Eastern Algarve region. Rosa is a very professional and knowledgeable guide, sharing plenty of information about the region. Rosa is also very quick to adjust our itinerary as one of our friends has a mobility issue and the temperature on the day of our tour is rather high. We told Rosa we...

    Dear guests, thank you so much for taking some of your time to write your feed back, so important to me.Yes, our day was memorable, the weather helped but your interest on knowing more about the unspoilt Algarve, that does exist, was to me the fuel to stop at every corner or to get out of the beaten track and get you closer to the locals like we did in the fishing village...
