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.

Explore the essence of Lisbon's main spots
Overview of your Lisbon tour
Welcome to Lisbon! Let me capture the essence of Lisbon for you!!! During this amazing tour you will see all the most popular and historical sights, such as Belém neighborhood: Jerome Monastery UNESCO site finished in the 17th century, the Tower of Belém a 16th-century fortification that served as a point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers, Monument to the Discoveries, and experience a panoramic tour through the nicest postcard views in the city such as my secret and favourite hilltop view and the oldest neighborhood in the city, to me very special because I took my pregnancy pictures there. We will also go through the 8th century labyrinthine Alfama, the oldest neighborhood in the city where locals have a special connection, and I have the privilege to know some of them. All of it with a passionate local guide. I will be happy to adjust the schedules, duration and visits. Just let me know if you have any special request.

We continue to have superb success with ToursByLocals. We had another superstar guide with Gloria in Lisbon. She created an outstanding itinerary for the 4 hours that we had available. We toured using a combination of driving and walking and got to see all of the highlights. Gloria speaks perfect English and gives highly knowable talks about the sites we visited. If you want to see Lisbon, Gloria is your guide.
Robin T.United States
I had a great time touring Lisbon with Gloria as a solo tourist while my husband was on business in Lisbon. I am an artist/designer and she was able to personalize my tour to see famous street artists works, architecture through out the city, along with famous cites Lisbon is know for. We had a great time despite the rain! The car and driver she provided made it easy to hop out and walk areas we wanted to see without having to worry about parking and the weather. Thanks so much Gloria!

Gloria was excellent.
Kelly W.United States
I highly recommend Gloria as your tour guide. She is so friendly and knowledgeable. She kept us entertained with her stories and loved the commentary on the history of Portugal in the comic drawings. The weather turned rainy and really appreciated the excellent driving by her husband. We were able to see the sights we wanted. Appreciated dining recommendations as well as other places to see during our time here. Thank you for a wonderful introductory tour of Lisbon and will definitely recommend to our friends who are planning trips in the future.

Gloria is personable and definitely a local. She knows what to do and see in Lisbon and provides as much information as you want. We found her to be very flexible in the schedule and itinerary. The combination walking/driving tour was outstanding.
