Olá! I'm Ana, an Official Licensed Tour Guide based in Lisbon. Portugal is one of Europe's oldest nations, with centuries of history, traditions and fascinating stories waiting to be discovered. My goal is not simply to show you places, but to help you understand what makes Portugal so unique. As a full-time professional guide, I have dedicated my career to creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences for travellers from all over the world. I love bringing Portuguese culture to life through history, art, local traditions and the stories behind the places we visit. My journey began with a degree in Tourism Information from the Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies. Later, I obtained my Official Tour Guide license through the SNATTI professional examination and have been guiding professionally since 2014. What guests often appreciate most is not only the information I share, but the relaxed, personal atmosphere of my tours. Every traveller is different, so I always adapt the experience to your interests, pace and expectations whenever possible. Whether you are visiting Portugal for the first time, returning to explore it more deeply, interested in history, culture, gastronomy, hidden corners or iconic landmarks, I'll help you experience Portugal beyond the guidebooks. Let's create unforgettable memories together! For groups of up to 3 guests, transportation is provided in my comfortable private vehicle. Larger groups can be accommodated with a private driver and premium vehicle upon request.

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Experience Sintra's most iconic monument and breathtaking landscapes in comfort and at a relaxed pace. After being collected at your accommodation, we'll travel to Sintra while a dedicated driver takes care of the logistics, allowing me to focus entirely on guiding you throughout the day. We'll begin in Sintra's historic centre, discovering how this mountain retreat became the cradle of European Romanticism. Along the way, we'll taste the famous Travesseiros and Queijadas. We'll then visit the magnificent Pena Palace, exploring its remarkable interiors, colourful terraces and viewpoints before enjoying the romantic landscapes of Pena Park, with its exotic trees, lakes and hidden corners. After a light lunch at a local café, we'll continue through the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and enjoy a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast, passing Guincho Beach, Boca do Inferno, Cascais and Estoril before returning to Lisbon. A fully guided experience combining history, nature, local flavours and coastal scenery.

Peña Palace and Regalia have been our bucket lists for years… Ana made it all happen! Her local knowledge of the area was second to none… we were able to navigate the crowds and the hills with ease and efficiency, seemingly always a little bit ahead of the crowds. A wonderful day!

Ana was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Sintra, Lisbon, and all palaces. Booking a tour to Sintra is a must and Ana provided us with an enjoyable and educational experience. Ana's passion and care about providing a first class tour showed very well throughout the day. Her main priority was making sure our day was special and that she achieved the goals we set for our itinerary. Thank you Ana for an incredible experience in Sintra!

Ana M. is a fantastic guide. She has a great personality, a sense of humor, is extremely caring, listen to her clients' desires. Her knowledge is amazing. I have taken groups 5 times to Sintra, prior to this one, and she told us lots of facts that I had never heard before. She has a lot of energy, and a real desire to make your visit agreable, and loaded with interesting facts about the town, the sites and the history of Portugal. She has an encyclopedic memory. I could not have found a better guide.

Ana provided our group of four (all their their sixties) truly outstanding tour-guiding service in Sintra and the coastal areas near Lisbon. We had a wonderful day with Ana. We were so pleased with her knowledge, professionalism, flexibility, and gracious hospitality. And just as importantly, she has a vivacious personality and is just lots of fun. We highly recommend her.
