Hermes picked up early and started the day with a fabulous drive along the coast. His knowledge was outstanding and he was extremely personable. He was not tied to a time table to insure we had the best experience.

Hi, my name is Hermes, a private guide based in Lisbon with a background in corporate events. I was born in Cascais, a coastal town west of Lisbon known for its multicultural environment. During my teenage years, I had the opportunity to travel across the country, experiencing different Portuguese traditions and visiting most of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Portugal. After 20 years of professional experience in corporate events, in 2014 I decided to embrace a new professional project: welcoming and introducing Portuguese culture to those who visit us. Each tour is designed as a private event, with attention to detail and a focus on your experience. My daily goal is to see smiles on my clients’ faces and share with them the love I have for my country and its history. I enjoy reading novels, walking through historic streets, travelling, meeting people, and talking about Portuguese history and culture. All my tours can be personalized according to your preferences — please do not hesitate to ask. Working as a tour guide since 2014 Operating Portuguese tourism license: 276/2014

Overview of your Lisbon tour
Sintra is a beautiful village full of history, with an unique natural park and views over the ocean. A wonderful place where the old continent ends and the new world begins. Cascais, once a fishing village, later a resort for European royalty, it is now considered the Portuguese Riviera. Sintra, historic village, it is known for the palaces and the Moorish castle, land of royalty, fairy tales, mystical places and parks with trees from all continents. On our day trip we will also see small towns over the cliffs and the westernmost point in European continent. Cascais, a waterfront village, with several beaches, where you can walk through the same places that European royalty walked and feel the ocean breeze. I can customize this tour according to your requests

We had a great day with Hermes. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to Sintra and Cascais with a few other stops. He was personable and knowledgeable. And as a bonus took us to a delicious pastry shop, fantastic lunch and to an amazing gelato place. We also toured Pena Palace which was super interesting and Hermes was a great guide and full of historical information. I would highly recommend using him!
Robert F.United States
An excellent guide. He was also a very safe driver. His explanations were right on point.
Tom Y.United States
Hermes was AMAZING! Our communication before the tour was quick and responsive to our questions. He met us (6) at the hotel and we began our tour to Sintra. He was a spectacular guide. Personable, knowledgeable, funny and a pleasure to be with. He organized a wonderful seaside lunch and his tour around Lisbon on the way home gave us a terrific feel for the city. We can't recommend Hermes enough! Plus, guides from Tour By Locals are the best in ANY location! They are our go to guides on any trip!

Hermes was an outstanding guide for this tour! Our family needed to modify the tour to fit our schedule and Hermes was extremely helpful in arranging and executing a great plan for our situation. We learned a lot and loved getting to know Sintra! Awesome!
