Welcome to Portugal! Welcome to Lisbon!!! My name is Glória, I am a mother of 2 young boys and I am a certified guide and passionate about my country, its history and its people. I have been a licensed guide since 2004 and there's nothing that makes me happier than show you my country, its monuments, its history but also tell you about our economy, education, health system all that through my eyes, the eyes of a Portuguese born and raised here. I love to customize my tours to each traveller, so just tell me what you love, and magic will happen. We'll have a unique experience throughout breathtaking views, thousands year old history, meeting nice people and yummy wines and food. For all this and more, I am sure you will enjoy coming to Portugal. Can't wait to receive you! Degree on Tourism Information - National Tour Guide since 2004 First Aid course My personal car where I will take you is a new black BMW X1 comfortable for 3 of you + me, 5 doors with Air Conditioning. If you are a party of more than 2 I will be happy to rent a van or a bus. Or if you are 1 or 2 persons and wish more than a standard car with a separate driver, I can also provide for a full confort Mercedes car.

Overview of your Lisbon tour

This tour will take you to the best hill top views such as Sao Pedro de Alcantara hill top view or Portas do Sol. You can experience an elevator or funicular ride so that we don't get tired going up the hill. I'll take you through the oldest and most labyrinthine district of Lisbon - Alfama - created by the Moors but also inhabited by Jews and Catholics at a time, a real melting pot. There you'll have the impression that we're lost just like the pirates were when they would go inside that 8th century maze trying to get the city. We'll go through the shopping area of Baixa and also through the lively Chiado neighborhood. In all of it you will breathe the old and modern and most of all you'll feel the unique Portuguese everyday life: people going to work, older people chatting in the squares and coffee-shops, you'll feel the authentic, warm and welcoming Portuguese. Let's explore Lisbon!!!

All I can say is WOW! We have been on many tours, Gloria was our favorite guide! We had such a great day in Lisbon listening to and learning from Gloria.

Our guide was exceptional - Knowledgeable, pleasant and incredibly organized. She arranged last-minute transport for those of us who had difficulty climbing the hills, ensuring everyone could enjoy the beautiful sights. Additionally, her recommendations for great restaurants and shopping areas were spot on, enhancing our experience even further. She also showed us some convenient shortcuts, which allowed us to see various places on our own more efficiently. Overall, our family had a fantastic time in Portugal, thanks to our amazing guide, Gloria.

Our morning with Gloria was our 19th Tours by Locals experience and our BEST yet! She is lovely to spend a day with - super accommodating/flexible and determined to help in anyway she can. Gloria asked us first thing what we were interested in and then proceeded to deliver exactly the guided exploration of Lisbon we wished for. We were looking for a little history but mostly culture and she delivered exactly that. You absolutely cannot go wrong selecting Gloria…she’s literally the best.
