Hello future guests… I am a licensed professional & academic private tour operator & host. Join me, for your unique tailor made & exclusive travel experience! I specialize on private tours, customizable or tailor made, at the Center and South regions of continental Portugal. My vision is to deliver A as much as possible authentic Portuguese experience for you, on your journey here. My goals everyday are based on You and the future of my - our - country, Portugal. I work on going beyond guests expectations for the tours, so you can take home the Ones best memories... from your trip. To achieve that I focus on helping you to interpret the places, the history, the culture, going much further than that, speaking about everything else you may want to know: politics, economics, mentality, idiosyncrasies, faults and defects of the society. . . I am sure that I will help you to find links or reasons to identify you with the destinations while visiting. During the time you spend with me, we will find them together! It's very important to feel like you are merging with the places and the locals! Thinking outside the box, focusing beyond the traditional destinations, considering the emerging new ones and places of interest, I will continue to create thematic tours, never rushing or missing on safety. I am motivated by the great Portuguese past achievements and the country's identity, which from this isolated corner land of Europe, shrunk the world into the first global village. By analyzing it - also with your contributions - from Portugal's perspective, I want to continue that Legacy, as is my mission to aspire and work for a much better and brighter Portuguese national and worldwide future, especially to leave for daughter. This is the way I always try to deliver, using a true genuine tourism ambassador approach. This is what the brand I created - SophiaTours - in 2018 represents. Thank you very much for joining me. Enjoy Portugal! Travel Safe. Best Regards. Licensed guide with an Official Bachelor's degree in Tourism Products Management & Master´s in Strategic Management of Tourism Destinations Both by ESHTE - School of Hotel Management and Tourism business of Estoril - Portugal

2 Full days tour exploring Jewish surviving legacy since the 15 th century, on the high lands interior of Portugal
Overview of your Lisbon tour
The Land of Tolerance. Belmonte and Vilar Formoso are saviors of those persecuted for centuries all along Europe, who found establishment here since the middle 1500´s, time of inquisition and so on till the end of 2 World War; It’s for this a deeply significant territory in Portugal. Crypto is an odd word that describes a type of human behavior, unless it means to go hiding, for survival but never giving up upon the self beliefs system of the original community. Like this life proceeds and the culture is not fully forgotten, as people move on, practicing it always on alert, cautious. Here you find what is possibly the best Jewish heritage museum in Portugal and their strongest community; Belmonte is also the birthplace of one of the most important Portuguese navigators of all time and settlement of his family, in the castle from the 13th century on; Next door you find an enigmatic and little known still standing building and surrounding ruins from the 1st century time of the Roman empire.
