I have been working in tourism as a guide, manager and consultant since 2004. My background includes an international career that allowed me to travel extensively, helping me understand how valuable a good local guide can be for discovering the true character of a place. Today, I offer private walking and car tours that go beyond standard itineraries, always adapted to each traveler’s interests, pace and expectations. My goal is to help visitors truly understand Portugal through local insight, stories, daily life — and gastronomy. I am an officially licensed national tour guide, with academic training in tourism and a professional diploma as a cooking chef. This allows me to design and lead food-focused experiences, local meals and gastronomic tours with real context, not just tastings. I value clarity, organization and flexibility, and I enjoy creating relaxed, personal experiences for travelers of all ages. Tours can be adapted for guests with mobility needs upon request. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing my country in an authentic, engaging and meaningful way.
