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!

This was our second tour with Luis-Paolo and, like our first, we were not disappointed. Luis-Paolo was not only personable and enjoyable to be with, he worked to be sure that we were comfortable throughout our tour. As noted before, he speaks English plainly and fluently and is knowledgable of stories and events that made our tour one that we will remember.

Luis picked us up at the airport in September and gave us a wonderful tour. We were able to customize the itinerary to meet our needs and everything went flawlessly. By a sheer coincidence we ran into Luis the next day at another site where we having some trouble with our tickets. Luis helped us and saved the visit. Luis spoke excellent English and a had great deal of knowledge and a sense of humor. I highly recommend him as a guide.

We had a great tour with Luis. He explained the city well at just the right level, lots of quality information that wasn't a recitation of dates and names. He handled the driving smoothly and calmly, adapting the itinerary to our interests, the weather, and the traffic conditions. It was a well-balanced tour, covering different aspects of the city. And Luis was good company as we went around. All up, we really enjoyed our time in Lisbon – thank you, Luis!

Luis was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with in Lisbon. He was very knowledgeable and took to to many spots in the city we would have never seen. I would highlyy recommed Luis to anyone looking for an off the beaten path tour through the eyes of a local.

We highly recommend booking with Luis. We had a great tour of Lisbon with limited time on a cruise. Luis was very flexible and able to pivot quickly when our arrival was delayed and we missed an opportunity to visit inside Jeronimos Monastery. He filled that time with bonus things not on the original itinerary. We saw SO much of Lisbon within our time constraints. Luis is extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, and just a pleasure to be with. He was a pro at parking in the tightest of places which helped minimize walking. Luckily, we plan to be in Lisbon again next year and pick up where we left off with Luis.

Very nice guide and throughly enjoyed our time with Luis on this tour! We asked to just drive around and not do any walking, as our legs were pretty tired from previous days of touring/walking and we seen everything we would want to see! Seen different districts of the city and areas of interest. It was a perfect day and thank you for showing us so much during our time in Lisbon!
