I became a guide because I truly love sharing the beauty, culture and stories of Portugal with people from around the world. Growing up between Portugal and the German-speaking part of Switzerland gave me a deep appreciation for different cultures and languages, and guiding allows me to bring all of this together: my passion for history, my love for people and my desire to create meaningful travel experiences. What I enjoy the most is helping guests feel welcome and relaxed, showing them not only the famous landmarks but also the local traditions, hidden viewpoints and authentic flavors that make our country unique. Every traveler is different, and so are my tours. I fully customize each experience based on the guests’ interests, whether they enjoy history, nature, photography, religion, food, wine or a more relaxed day exploring Portugal. I also offer multiple-day tours, perfect for guests who want a longer, immersive journey through Portugal. I’m always happy to plan and design personalized multi-day itineraries. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, comfortable and unforgettable experience, and to make every guest leave Portugal with beautiful memories and a smile.

History, Heritage and Alentejo Flavors from Lisbon
Overview of your Lisbon tour
This private full-day tour takes you from Lisbon to two of Portugal’s most historic destinations: Palmela and Évora. Departing from Lisbon or the Lisbon Cruise Port, we first head to Palmela to visit the impressive Palmela Castle, a medieval fortress with stunning views over the Arrábida region. We spend around one hour exploring the castle and its surroundings. We then continue to Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage city. Here we visit the Roman Temple of Diana, the Cathedral of Évora (Sé), and stroll through Praça do Giraldo. There is free time for lunch, with a recommendation to Café Alentejo or another restaurant of your choice. In the afternoon, we visit the Church of São Francisco and the famous Chapel of Bones before returning comfortably to Lisbon. The tour lasts approximately 8 hours.
