I’m Rui, a certified local guide based in Lisbon, and over the years I’ve had the pleasure of delivering more than 900 private tours across Portugal for travelers from all over the world—especially from the United States and Canada. My approach is simple: to offer a personal, relaxed, and well-organized experience, where you can enjoy Portugal at your own pace while I take care of all the details. I try to make each day feel natural and enjoyable—combining history, culture, local insights, and flexibility along the way. Many of my guests say it feels more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a traditional tour. I specialize in private, fully customizable and skip the line tours throughout the country, including Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Óbidos, Nazaré, Fátima, Tomar, Coimbra, Aveiro, Porto, the Douro Valley, Évora, the Algarve, and even southern Spain. Whether it’s a full-day tour or a multi-day itinerary, everything is adapted to your interests and pace. For cruise travelers, I offer flexible shore excursions designed around your schedule, with smooth pick-up and return so you can explore with complete peace of mind. I also provide private transfers across Portugal, which can include stops along the way—turning travel days into part of the experience. The car that I use in my tours is a SUV, a Peugeot 5008. Comfortable and spacious, with a trunk big enough for large suitcases and carry on’s. More than just guiding, I focus on creating moments you’ll remember—through stories, places, and a genuine connection to the country. Seja muito Feliz

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Lisboa and Sintra Honestly, my two favorite places in the world! Well after my hometown, of course. Castro Verde, a small city 150 miles south of Lisboa, founded 500 years ago, population 5000. Ok, later I can also tell you some stories about this nice town in the Portuguese steppes, today it's Lisboa and Sintra. Founded more than 2000 years ago, these two cities where conquered by the Portuguese people tho the Moors in the 12th Century and played a very important role in the history of Portugal(the oldest country in Europe, recognized like that in 1143), a country planned since the beginning by the Order of the Knights Templar. Yep, the Knights Templar. They where here and, since the 12th Century, passing by the Portuguese Discoveries and a few centuries after, we can see signs of them in Lisboa and Sintra and in the history of Portugal. Well, I don't have enough characters to keep writing, maybe some day we can meet personally and I can show you a little bit about these two wonderful cities. See you soon

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

We will leave Lisbon, directly to Sintra and here, I propose that we visit one or two of them: - Pena Palace and gardens: Fascinating fairytale palace, located on one of the highest peaks of the Sintra mountain range - Quinta da Regaleira: Built in the beginning of the 20th century, the owner was a Knight Templar and a Mason; a unique place, believe me. In the afternoon, back to Lisbon, to finish the tour, starting in Belém, ending at Expo, the newest neighbourhood in the city These are Lisbon's main neighbourhoods and the ones we will pass by Alfama Castelo Praça do Comércio Baixa Pombalina Chiado Bairro Alto Avenida da Liberdade Balém Parque das Nações The tour can be customized according to your preferences, please let me know them
