Hello! My name is Francisco, and I’m a proud Lisbon native—what we call an alfacinha here in Portugal. Having lived my entire life in this vibrant city, I’ve developed an intimate knowledge of its hidden gems and a deep passion for Portuguese culture, history, and gastronomy. These three pillars make Portugal such a fascinating and inviting destination for visitors worldwide. After many years as a corporate executive, I decided to turn my lifelong passion into a career. In 2015, I launched my business as a "Chief Experience Officer," dedicated to showcasing the beauty and richness of my hometown and country. This role allows me to share Portugal's stories, culture, and breathtaking locations while learning from the extraordinary people I meet every day. My tours are highly customizable, ensuring that you—my guests—are always the center of the experience. While most tours start and end in Lisbon, I also offer multi-day programs that can cover other incredible destinations across Portugal. And I can cater to all your transportation and tour needs. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for in the options provided, please don't hesitate to reach out. I’ll be happy to create a personalized itinerary tailored to your preferences, group size and schedule. Also if you wish to book more than one tour or more than one day, please request a custom program where I can make a discount when 3 or more days/ tours are on the same trip. I look forward to welcoming you to my beautiful country and sharing its wonders with you. Driver Guide Certification Portuguese Tourism Office Licence nº RNAAT 687/2015

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Head off to the western coast towards Nazaré, a small fishing town and world-famous big wave surfing location. After about a 1h30 min drive through the Portuguese countryside, arrive at Nazaré. Take a quick tour of the town, then head to the wave-watching site to take in the strength and beauty of the coast. Visit S. Miguel Arcanjo Fort, the best way to experience the waves without having to suit up and swim. For lunch, head to one of the many nearby seafood restaurants. Then, depending on the tides, spend more time watching the waves or return to Lisbon, visiting some nearby locations, according to the time available. Please note: We cannot guarantee that there will be waves and surfers on the water when in Nazaré. The wave season is from October to February but more accurate predictions can only be made with a few days in advance. Nevertheless, we will always be able to show you other interesting locations in the area (check itinerary).

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

Explore the Traditional Fishing Village Wave Watching at Praia do Norte Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo Other Options if time allows: Alcobaça: Home to the UNESCO-listed Alcobaça Monastery, one of Portugal’s most important Gothic landmarks. Beach hopping between Nazaré and Óbidos, visiting some other beautiful beaches in the area and a nice coastal road. Óbidos: A beautifully preserved medieval town surrounded by ancient castle walls, known for its cobblestone streets and the famous Ginjinha liqueur served in chocolate cups.
