Hello! My name is Luis Paulo and I have been working as a Tour Guide for 20 years! I have a Bachelor's degree in tourism and a postgraduate degree in Tour Guiding completed in Lisbon. I am a certified guide and authorized to guide tourists in national monuments within Portugal. What attracts me most to this profession is being in contact with people from the most varied locations and outside of an office, in the open air! Having worked for many years in Brazil, I decided to make a life change and moved with my family to Portugal. Since my arrival I have been involved in the Tourism Sector and learned a lot about the Culture of this wonderful country! I am passionate about History and I feel privileged to be able to live in a country with such a fascinating past. In Lisbon, the most varied people passed and lived here (Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, Arabs), each of them leaving their mark in the history of this dynamic and cosmopolitan city. I will be delighted to share my knowledge, presenting a little more about the Culture, Gastronomy, History, Architecture, Arts, among other wonders that we can explore together. If you choose me as your local Guide, I can guarantee that I will do my best and it will be a pleasure to customize the tours to your preferences!

Discover Sintra, its palaces and monuments. One of the favorite places of the Portuguese royal family, this enchanting place is surrounded by nature, history and mysticism. Considered one of the birthplaces of romanticism in the country, this site was greatly appreciated by famous characters such as Lord Byron and William Beckford. Throughout this itinerary, you will discover some of the main attractions, such as the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira. You will also visit Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, and the town of Caiscais, formerly a fishing village and currently one of the most famous summer resorts in Portugal.
The trip to Sintra, from Lisbon, takes around 45 minutes and you will start the day by visiting the Pena Palace. This enigmatic construction attracts everyone with its multiple colors and architectural styles. Then, you will head to the center of Sintra, where you can walk through the medieval streets, exploring some of its rich commerce and gastronomy. The tour continues towards Quinta da Regaleira, a unique construction that stands out in the local landscape. This is where the famous Initiatory Well is located, an inverted tower, 40 meters deep, through which you will be able to pass. The next stop is at the westernmost point of the European continent, Cabo da Roca, where you will be able to contemplate the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. The last stop will be in the city center of Caiscais, a former fishing village which now is one of the best-known summer destinations in Portugal.
