Hello! My name is Filipa and I am a Certified Tour Guide in Lisbon and its surroundings. Living in such a beautiful city has led my parents to impart me with principles of valorization of heritage and history from a very young age, probably having taken me to every museum and palace there was to be visited! Thus, I believe this might be the reason why I appreciate and enjoy history so much. Added to my love for communication and languages, it only made sense to pursue my dream job of being a Tour Guide. I have an undergraduate degree in Tourism Information, where my classes were mostly focused on Portuguese history, art, culture, geography, as well as interpersonal skills, storytelling, and leadership. I have been working as a tour guide since 2015, first focusing on tours around the country and in most recent years, around Lisbon's metropolitan area. I went back to University to "conquer" my Master's Degree in Strategic Management of Tourism Destinations, which has instilled me with even more insight on destinations, tour planning and management. Both my academic and professional experience have given me awareness of my role as leader, interpreter and mediator between the tourists and the destinations. Therefore, I take my profession very seriously whilst showing a lot of passion for what I do. I invite you to come with me and allow me to show you the city through the eyes of a local and that wants to be its best ambassador. I can easily adapt my tours to your interests and your mobility. Looking forward to hearing from you! Certified Tour guide - National Union of Touristic Activity, Translators and Interpreters (SNATTI) Certified Trainer - Institute of Employment and Vocational Training (IEFP) Master's Degree - Strategic Management of Tourism Destinations - Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies (ESHTE) Over 9 years of experience working as a Tour Guide. I do not drive, but I can arrange for a car and a driver.

Learn about Lisbon's history while strolling through 3 historical neighborhoods lit up with Christmas lights
Overview of your Lisbon tour
Every year, in December and beginning of January iconic neighborhoods of the city of Lisbon are adorned with dazzling displays. The lights are complemented by holiday markets, creating a vibrant atmosphere. On this tour we will start at Avenida da Liberdade, one of the most magnificent avenues of the city of Lisbon - oftentimes compared to the Parisien Champs Élysées. Once we get to Baixa (downtown), we'll be surrounded by historical buildings dating back to the 18th century which were built after Lisbon's earthquake in 1755. Just like a Pheonix, we'll see how Lisbon also rose from the ashes. We will walk up Chiado, renowned for its blend of historic elegance and vibrant culture, inviting visitors to explore its boutiques, cafés, and cultural landmarks. This tour will end in Bairro Alto, characterized by its narrow, cobbled streets and colorful buildings which are adorned with twinkling decorations that cast a warm glow over the lively atmosphere.
