***I have a 5 years Degree in Touristic Information followed by a final exam that gave me a National Accreditation to carry a "National Tourist Guide" badge nº33/1058/62 since 2002.**** Hello, adventurers!✨ My name is Ana Sofia, I am a passionate explorer of the world, a friend who takes you by the hand through the vibrant streets of Lisbon with stories that dance in the wind, and a guardian of the best kept secrets that only Portugal can reveal. With more than 21 years of experience, I am pleased to share not only my deep knowledge about the culture, history and natural beauty of the destinations we visit, but also my friendship and a passionate look at the world. On each trip, my goal is to create not just tours, but life experiences; those that leave indelible marks on the soul, awaken sincere smiles and cultivate memories that you will carry with you far beyond the path home. I believe that every destination hides a story to be told, a new friendship to be made and an adventure waiting to be lived. And I'm here to ensure that every moment is unforgettable. As your guide, I promise: - Personalize your experience to suit your interests and desires, ensuring a trip that is as unique as you are. - Provide specialized knowledge and local insights that transform a simple visit into a rich and authentic cultural immersion. - Always be available and attentive to ensure your safety, comfort and satisfaction throughout the journey. If you are looking for more than a tour, but a key to authentic experiences that will enrich your life in unimaginable ways, I am here to open those doors for you. Let's discover the heart and soul of Lisbon together, and create stories that will echo for a lifetime. I look forward to being part of your next big adventure. See you soon! Fondly, Ana Sofia NOTE: A CERTIFIED TOURIST GUIDE has been educated in a higher education level in order to be able to present in an accurate way all the historical facts. Plus when you are toured by a native Portuguese - born and raised in Portugal - you have access to privileged information about being part of this country since time immemorial and we can explain how our parents and grandparents lived and give you deeper input into the evolution of life and culture in Portugal. I have the 5-year University degree from ESHTE (Estoril's School of Tourism) that gives me the credentials and proves my ability as a Licensed Tourist Guide for areas that go from Ethnology, passing by Arts and Aquitecture, Literature, Geography and Nature World, Foreign Languages to Psychology, Law and Economy, Gastronomy, Guidance Pratice and many many others. I am also a member of SNATTI (National Union of Guides, Translators and Interpreters) with nº 4209 and member of AGIC (Association of Portuguese Guides and Tour Leaders) with the number 213. I have worked as Assistant Shore Excursions Manager and Shorex Manager for two international Cruise Ship Companies. I also worked for a Cruise Ship Operator (Ibercruises - that you might encounter when coming with cruise ships to Lisbon), creating new tours/programs I have no restrictions as an Accredited and Licensed Tourist Guide - I am allowed to do guide you inside all monuments all over Portugal. Note that there are “skip the line” tickets only for Tourist Guides like me and operators (like me as well) for the entrance at the National Palace of Pena in Sintra and no other places in Portugal.

Sintra, a magical town just a short drive from Lisbon, is home to two of Portugal's most stunning palaces - the Pena Palace and the Regaleira Palace. The Pena Palace is a colorful and whimsical masterpiece perched high on a hill, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Its vibrant hues, intricate stonework, and turrets straight out of a fairy tale make it truly unforgettable. On the other hand, the mysterious and enchanting Regaleira Palace is a neo-gothic masterpiece surrounded by lush gardens, secret tunnels, and fascinating symbolism. Visitors can explore its underground passages, intricate architecture, and beautiful grounds that seem to come alive with history and mystery. Booking a tour to visit both these palaces in Sintra is a journey through time and beauty, offering a unique glimpse into Portugal's rich heritage and architectural wonders. Get ready to be amazed and enchanted by these two gems tucked away in the magical town of Sintra!
In the morning visit Regaleira Palace and it's mysterious gardens. It was built by one of the several millionaires who contributed to make of sintra what it is today. In town we'll enjoy some free time for lunch. Later continue the tour driving through the mountain to see the moorish fortress from afar and the Pena Palace - note that after 2nd April 2026 the guides are to explain but not inside of the building).

Luxury Van with skylight, microphone, independet A/C at the back, 2 back sliding door, and private driver - he can take us to the entrance of the palaces and with time find a place to park (what in Sintra can be a nightmare) or take care of the car while we are enjoying our visits - I'm the one guiding you inside the venues, so I can't loose time with the car.
