Born and raised in Lisbon, "the 7 hills city", I moved to romantic Sintra later, and you're now one step closer to knowing why. In my teens, I already loved coordinating radical sports groups and promoting events. I did social and political surveys across the country on my school holidays and I think this was a cauldron of experiences and emotions that led to me truly connecting with people today. I got my degree in Tourism and Leisure Management, specializing in Cuisine. Regardless, I quickly realized that my preferred focus would be on connecting with people rather than with friendly lobsters. After leaving several experiences as a cook and restaurant manager, I realized that the overall answer laid in sharing emotions through food and guided tours, which would be the best way for me to express myself. At the moment it's been 10 years and I still love what I do, and to share a little secret between us, I don't even feel like I'm working. I like to think I'm having a fantastic day among friends. I consider myself a person of easy laughter, cordial and professional. I really love meeting people, sharing experiences and learning about culture. I'm waiting for you here to show you this incredible Mediterranean rectangle where I was born! Degree in Tourism and Leisure Management 8 years of experience in and Events Organization 13 years of experience guiding. Licensed Tourist Agent 24/7 I am not able to guide you inside of some of the historical monuments.

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Welcome to Sintra, landmark of Romanticism. This one of a kind place happens to be the first in the world whose "cultural landscape" was registered as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site due to its outstanding universal value. Once we get to the dazzling historical centre, you'll discover the charms of a village that inspired much poetry and enthralled kings. The wow factor, Quinta da Regaleira is a fusion of neo-Gothic & eccentric styles that'll fascinate you with its religious mysticism and occult orders. Visit the bewitching Sintra town, with its idyllic castles before heading down to the shore, where we'll marvel at Cabo da Roca—Europe's westernmost point "finisterre", or "end of the earth". In the majestic region of Lisbon's southwest point, we'll encounter the quaint seaside villages of Cascais & Estoril, where in the old days, the European nobility installed their "small" summer chalets. As a Local Guide I might not guide the party inside some monuments.
