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

Escape the crowds and discover one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets on this private wine day trip to the Atlantic region of Estremadura, north of Lisbon. This is where my family roots are, and it’s a privilege for me to share its authenticity, traditions, and hidden gems with you. I’m not a wine expert, just someone who genuinely loves great wine and good food, and I enjoy creating relaxed, authentic experiences where you can taste, learn, and connect with the place. In this tour, you'll experience authentic Portuguese wine culture through visits to carefully selected local producers. Enjoy tastings and learn about the wine process at a small, family-run winery near the coast and, for contrast, at a larger estate further inland—both known for their quality and character. As this is a private tour, the itinerary can be adjusted to your preferences. You may choose to visit only one winery and include a stop in the charming medieval village of Óbidos.
- After pick-up in Lisbon, we’ll begin the day with a scenic 60-minute drive to Lourinhã - Enjoy your first wine experience at Adega da Arrocha (approximately 1.5 hours) - Optional lunch at a traditional and authentic local restaurant (not included) -A 30-minute drive takes us to Adega Mãe, a second winery for another tasting experience (approximately 1.5 hours) - Return to Lisbon around 17:00 As this is a private tour, the itinerary can be fully customised according to your interests and preferences.
