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...

    Thank you Rosa. We had a wonderful day touring the Caves and the Algarve region. Rosa was so interesting and took us places we would never have seen without her guidance. She was flexible and made it easy to adapt when some of our plans had to be changed. Do not miss the Caves. The boat ride was so interesting.

    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.
