I’ve been working as a tour guide for over 9 years, starting from scratch and gaining experience with some of the largest tour operators in Lisbon. Over time, my passion for exploring, studying, and sharing the best of Portugal — from north to south — led me to become a full-time private guide, focused on creating personalized and authentic experiences across the country. Throughout these years, I’ve been constantly deepening my historical knowledge while guiding travelers, which not only expanded my understanding of Portugal but also sparked a genuine curiosity for different cultures and traditions. This curiosity continues to inspire me to design unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences that go beyond the typical tourist routes. In 2025, I was certified as a Tourist Guide by the Portuguese Republic and also completed specialized training in Portuguese enogastronomy, allowing me to incorporate deeper insights into the country’s wine and culinary traditions during my tours. In early 2026, I was further certified by the National Union of Tourism Activity Translators and Interpreters as an Official Tourist Guide. I describe my job simply: to give you the perfect day, tailored to your pace and preferences, in the region (or regions!) that interest you most in our small paradise. • Official Tourist Guide — National Union of Tourism Activity Translators and Interpreters • Certified Tourist Guide — Portuguese Republic: 689/2025 • Certified in Portuguese Enogastronomy: 1539/2025 • Tourism of Portugal RNAAT: 26/2024 • Fully licensed and insured, registered with Turismo de Portugal • Clean and Safe certified
