It is my great pleasure to tell you that I was born in the region of Alentejo, in the south of Portugal, where you will find the finest food and wines. I came to Lisbon to work and study. Music, photography, sports, cooking, sightseeing, and so on are some of my favorite activities. As soon as I arrived in Lisbon, I would love to explore downtown, discovering new hidden treasures every day. I'd avoid tourist spots and seek the most authentic places and experiences Lisbon has to offer. Let me show you how a true local lives and what I have learned over the years!

Very, very enjoyable and informative tour with Diogo. He is full of knowledge and fun facts! He was watchful with our surroundings and made sure we would manage some of the more difficult tight steps and low ceilings. He took us to lunch at an absolutely incredible restaurant that was off the tourist track. We highly recommend his to anyone who wants to see the Sintra area and enjoy being with a wonderful young man!

this tour guide was by far one of the best I've ever had. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about historical events and current events in the country, he was very accommodating and a pleasure to be with. Get a tour with him if you can. He is really terrific.

Diogo was on time and drove us to Sinatra. Amazing tour that minimized the walking and climbing while maximizing the experience—so we got to see all the sights we wanted to see, plus some bonuses. Diogo also gave us exceptional advice on dining—it was one of the best, if not the very best dining experiences of our five weeks in Spain and Portugal. After Sintra, Monserrat and Cascais were also amazing. One of our favorite tour guides.

Great day tour to the beautiful mansions and gardens of Sintra combined with a scenic drive along the coast. History, mystery, and beauty all neatly wrapped up by a fun and informative guide. Highly recommended.
