I’ve often been described as friendly and communicative, always eager to lend a helping hand. I was born in Lisbon and raised between this vibrant city and the Portuguese central-west coast, giving me an interesting blend of urban and coastal roots. I am a passionate surfer, and I have dedicated much of my life to the ocean and teaching this sport and lifestyle to others. I began my journey in the tourism industry in the late 90s, building a strong foundation of knowledge and experience. My love for sharing Portugal with travellers led me to take a degree in tourism (tour guiding and tourism marketing), for which I deeply studied Portugal and the best way to promote it. Later, a post-graduate degree in adventure tourism gave me better tools to explore and share my country's secrets. Since then, I’ve embraced the opportunity to welcome travellers from around the world, with whom I shared the essence of Portuguese culture. Now, as a proud family man with two children, I can confidently say that parenthood is the greatest adventure of my life. Music is my third passion; I studied jazz drumming and have enjoyed playing drums and percussion in various projects. Conscious that Lisbon’s strategic location offers access to some of Portugal's most authentic treasures within just an hour’s drive, I've crafted unique routes and experiences around the city. On my tours, I aim to share my deep love for Portugal with every guest, providing a relaxed, genuine, and informal experience. I can deliver tours starting in Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra, Lourinhã, Peniche, Óbidos and Nazaré. --- ISLA Campus Lisboa - Bachelor's Degree in Tourist Guide and Agent / 1995 - 1998 ISAI - Graduation in Tourism Marketing and Management / 1999 - 2000​ The University of Hospitality and Tourism of Estoril - Post-Graduation on Adventure Tourism Management / 2003 - 2004

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Experience Portugal's faith, traditions, culture, and history on this private day trip from Lisbon. Discover this classic route through the eyes of a local. Step into the devotion of Nossa Senhora de Fátima at one of the world’s most important religious sanctuaries. Discover the stunning 14th-century Batalha Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site. During lunchtime, explore the iconic fishing village of Nazaré, a Portuguese fishing town renowned for its colossal surfing waves. As a surfer with over 30 years of experience, I can’t wait to share insider stories and insights about this world-class big-wave surf spot. Our final stop will be in the romantic, medieval walled town of Óbidos. Stroll along its cobbled streets, passing houses adorned with vibrant Bougainvillaea, leading up to a 13th-century castle, all surrounded by medieval walls.
