Hello, I'm Paula! Having a Portuguese father, a French mother, a 5 years experience living in Italy, 2 full immersions courses in England, my environment is international. I speak foreign languages and I'm in touch with foreign people since my childhood. Consequently I took a first degree in International Relations and then a degree in Tourism Information specializing in Tour Guiding in 2003. Since then I've been working as a professional tourist guide always willing to learn more and to meet new people. My purpose has always been to be an ambassador of the Portuguese built, cultural and natural heritage I'm so fond of. To that I add my passion for wine, specially the Portuguese ones! I'm a certified sommelier and I'm postgraduated in Wine Tourism. I love to organize wine & food tastings and sensory experiences. On each bottle there is a storytelling that I'm proud to share with guests. Drinking is quenching thirst, tasting wine is culture! You don't drink alcohol? Not a problem, there are plenty of delicacies to be tasted :-) I'm also a trainer. I teach Winemaking, Food and Wine Pairing, Tourist Products and Services, etc. Yes I love to share my knowledge. I believe that alone we go faster but together we go further. My tours are designed to be professional, customized, safe, easy, simple, fun. At the end guests feel happy, satisfied, enriched, taken care. I prefer quality tours over quantity. Therefore few reviews but glowing. Less is more :-) I pay special attention to the personal relationship. All my tours are customized and adaptable anytime with a special touch of mine. Ready? Here we go! - Master in Winetourism by Lusofona University, Lisbon. - Degree in Tourism Information, Specialization in Tour Guiding, at ISLA University, Lisbon. - Certified tour guide by AGIC (Portuguese Association of Tour Guides), member of the board for 3 years. - Certified sommelier by AEP (Portuguese Association of Sommeliers). - Degree in International Relations, at ISCSP University, Lisbon. - Certified translator by APT (Portuguese Association of Translators). - Several workshops and courses along the years to be more knowledgeable such as Lisbon's architects in the 19 and 20 centuries, traditional crafts, coaching, digital marketing... If the specific day/time you want is unavailable send me a message! I'll try to move my schedule.

Let me show you in 3 hours the hidden gems of the heart of Lisbon in a quick but enriching private guided tour. Glazed tiles? Cork? Food? Day life? Traditions? River? These are only some topics I'll be happy to explain to you. You will learn how old Portugal is, how come it preserved its frontiers, which civilizations established here, the influence of Mediterranean and foreign food, the latinity. I'll communicate all of this to you with passion! Welcome!
We'll start our walking tour at the Rossio railway station where close by stands the beautiful Restauradores square. I'll make you travel back in time. Here I will show you one of the four centennial lifts helping people going up and down the different hills. If you'd like to take one I'll be happy to help. From there we will head to the heart of Lisbon, that is, Rossio square, full of history. Did you know Portugal had a huge presence in all continents in the past? Then it's time to climb to Chiado, a contemporary yet old district and one of my favorite spots. This area is the most expensive of the city. As you may know Lisbon stretches along 7 hills. Soon you'll be getting down to the Townhall of Lisbon. I like the atmosphere here, it seems a hidden place although located in the city center. The tour ends at the Square of the Commerce where the river waves at us. I may feel a little bit nostalgic when we say goodbye. The tour can be customized according to your preferences, please inquire. I'll do my best!

17 Largo do Duque de Cadaval, Lisboa, Lisboa, 1200-160, Portugal
Rossio train station, outside. Facing the building I'll be on the left hand side where stands the statue of the singer. For your reference, it's in the opposite side of Starbucks.,
