I’m Rui, a certified local guide based in Lisbon, and over the years I’ve had the pleasure of delivering more than 900 private tours across Portugal for travelers from all over the world—especially from the United States and Canada. My approach is simple: to offer a personal, relaxed, and well-organized experience, where you can enjoy Portugal at your own pace while I take care of all the details. I try to make each day feel natural and enjoyable—combining history, culture, local insights, and flexibility along the way. Many of my guests say it feels more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a traditional tour. I specialize in private, fully customizable and skip the line tours throughout the country, including Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Óbidos, Nazaré, Fátima, Tomar, Coimbra, Aveiro, Porto, the Douro Valley, Évora, the Algarve, and even southern Spain. Whether it’s a full-day tour or a multi-day itinerary, everything is adapted to your interests and pace. For cruise travelers, I offer flexible shore excursions designed around your schedule, with smooth pick-up and return so you can explore with complete peace of mind. I also provide private transfers across Portugal, which can include stops along the way—turning travel days into part of the experience. The car that I use in my tours is a SUV, a Peugeot 5008. Comfortable and spacious, with a trunk big enough for large suitcases and carry on’s. More than just guiding, I focus on creating moments you’ll remember—through stories, places, and a genuine connection to the country. Seja muito Feliz

A day in the Portugal's very beginning Tomar: the religious center of the Knights Templar in Portugal. They built the city from 0, like a New Jerusalem in Europe, far away from Rome and the Pope Some historians defends the theory that Portugal was a country imagined and created by the Knights Templar and the they started with Tomar 900 years after the foundation, we still can see the importance of these gentlemen for the local society and the country in general. The Church of Santa Maria and the Convent of Christ, two amazing landmarks in the History of Portugal. At Alcobaça, with is architecture inspired on the Abbey of Clairvaux, the headquarters of the Cistercian Order in France, we will visit the Monastery of Alcobaça, the first full Gothic building built in Portugal. If you like Medieval History, it will be a very well spent day
Passing through Tomar and Alcobaça, we can see the exultation of the history of the country in architectural, sacred, military and civil art, representative of an immense wealth coming from the discoveries. This is what I want to show you: - Tomar: a city created and imagined by One of the first 9 in Jerusalem and the first Prior of the Knights Templar in Portugral, Gualdim Pais. This place may show more than rocks and churches, more then a Roundabout which is actually a Charola. It really does. - Alcobaça: Bernardo of Clairvaux's right(or both) arm in Portugral. And a few more in Batalha, on the way to Alcobaça; this one is a Bónus!! The tour can be customised according to your preferences, please inquire
