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.

Amazing tour guide and highly recommend! Tiago was professional, timely, knowledgeable, flexible, and very helpful. We were a party of 3 traveling from Lisbon city to Lagos in the Algarve region. Tiago arrived a few minutes early for our departure time and then during our drive educated us on various historical and natural world topics. He clearly takes pride in his work and is patient in answering our many questions about both regions. He was also flexible in adapting the tour when we wanted to change our itinerary due to weather. We highly recommend him for your tour needs.

We had a fantastic time in Algarve thanks to TBL, but most importantly thanks to Tiago! Tiago knew so much about Lisbon, the regions between the capital and Algarve, and naturally the Algarve region as well. He was efficient, well-organized, knowledgeable, accommodating, and so friendly. Great to talk to as well and his English was exceptional! His van was super comfortable for our family of 4 and could easily accommodate a party of 6 comfortably. He had great recommendations for restaurants as well. Well worth every cent we spent!

One of the marks of a good guide is the ability to pivot when circumstances change. Due to very bad weather in Algarve, Tiago recommended alternate sites and provided us with one of our most memorable days in Portugal. Confidently recommend. Thanks, Tiago

We were especially interested in seeing beautiful seascapes, and Tiago could not have accommodated us better. He was also very knowledgeable and easy to talk with.

Tiago is a phenomenal guide. He picked me up at Cascais at no extra cost. Car was clean, his driving was smooth. I could get enough information on the Algarve even before I landed in Portugal from Tiago who communicated very well via email mail. Tiago knows so much beyond the tour that the entire 12 hours we had great conversations about many things. I could see all I wanted with full explanations from Tiago. One of the best guides I have ever used. Thank you Tiago for the memorable Algarve tour.
