Born and raised in Lisbon, "the 7 hills city", I moved to romantic Sintra later, and you're now one step closer to knowing why. In my teens, I already loved coordinating radical sports groups and promoting events. I did social and political surveys across the country on my school holidays and I think this was a cauldron of experiences and emotions that led to me truly connecting with people today. I got my degree in Tourism and Leisure Management, specializing in Cuisine. Regardless, I quickly realized that my preferred focus would be on connecting with people rather than with friendly lobsters. After leaving several experiences as a cook and restaurant manager, I realized that the overall answer laid in sharing emotions through food and guided tours, which would be the best way for me to express myself. At the moment it's been 10 years and I still love what I do, and to share a little secret between us, I don't even feel like I'm working. I like to think I'm having a fantastic day among friends. I consider myself a person of easy laughter, cordial and professional. I really love meeting people, sharing experiences and learning about culture. I'm waiting for you here to show you this incredible Mediterranean rectangle where I was born! Degree in Tourism and Leisure Management 8 years of experience in and Events Organization 13 years of experience guiding. Licensed Tourist Agent 24/7 I am not able to guide you inside of some of the historical monuments.

Welcome to Sintra, a unique place in the world: the first cultural landscape to be registered as an UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site, and also known as the capital of Romanticism. Reaching the dazzling historical centre, I suggest you try Queijadas, a dish I never get tired of tasting, made from fresh cheese, a very popular one in Sintra. They originated during the Middle Ages, appearing in the year 1227, where they were used as a form of payment for working the pastures. Explore the charming town of Sintra with all of its fairytale castles before making your way down the coast. Be amazed at Cabo da Roca—Europe's westernmost point "finis terrae". Don't miss the opportunity to spend your day in this fairytale mountain! Customizable itinerary. As a Local Guide I might not guide the party inside some monuments.
-The tour will start in the morning, with a pick-up from an arranged point (hotel, cruise ship, etc as long as it's within Lisbon, Sintra or the Cascais Districts range). -On arrival, we'll visit the centre of the town -We'll then drive to the top of a mountain, stopping for photos of the Pena Palace (with an optional visit that usually lasts for approximately an hour and a half ) -Drop off either at the pickup point or another preferred one.
