I’ve often been described as friendly and communicative, always eager to lend a helping hand. I was born in Lisbon and raised between this vibrant city and the Portuguese central-west coast, giving me an interesting blend of urban and coastal roots. I am a passionate surfer, and I have dedicated much of my life to the ocean and teaching this sport and lifestyle to others. I began my journey in the tourism industry in the late 90s, building a strong foundation of knowledge and experience. My love for sharing Portugal with travellers led me to take a degree in tourism (tour guiding and tourism marketing), for which I deeply studied Portugal and the best way to promote it. Later, a post-graduate degree in adventure tourism gave me better tools to explore and share my country's secrets. Since then, I’ve embraced the opportunity to welcome travellers from around the world, with whom I shared the essence of Portuguese culture. Now, as a proud family man with two children, I can confidently say that parenthood is the greatest adventure of my life. Music is my third passion; I studied jazz drumming and have enjoyed playing drums and percussion in various projects. Conscious that Lisbon’s strategic location offers access to some of Portugal's most authentic treasures within just an hour’s drive, I've crafted unique routes and experiences around the city. On my tours, I aim to share my deep love for Portugal with every guest, providing a relaxed, genuine, and informal experience. I can deliver tours starting in Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra, Lourinhã, Peniche, Óbidos and Nazaré. --- ISLA Campus Lisboa - Bachelor's Degree in Tourist Guide and Agent / 1995 - 1998 ISAI - Graduation in Tourism Marketing and Management / 1999 - 2000​ The University of Hospitality and Tourism of Estoril - Post-Graduation on Adventure Tourism Management / 2003 - 2004

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Join me on this day trip to experience an iconic fishing town, ride the waves of big surf culture, and wander through a medieval village. I had the joy of growing up in the beautiful and wild Silver Coast (north of Lisbon), and sharing my roots and knowledge with you feels like a true privilege. Our adventure begins at Nazaré, the iconic Portuguese fishing town renowned for its colossal surfing waves. As a surfer with over 30 years of experience, I can’t wait to share insider stories and insights about this world-class big-wave surf spot. Our journey culminates in the romantic, medieval town of Óbidos. Stroll with me along its charming cobbled streets, where vibrant Bougainvillaea drapes the historic houses, leading us to a majestic 13th-century castle. Some must-see local, lesser-known gems are also included in the plan. Can't wait? Neither can I. Book this Silver Coast adventure with me now!
