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

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Discover the captivating historical and natural gems of Sintra and Cascais on this private full-day tour from Lisbon. Explore at your own pace with a flexible itinerary and local guide, me! As an outdoor enthusiast and history lover, I have always found Sintra my favourite playground since my childhood. Visit with me the fairytale-like Pena Palace, wander Sintra’s charming Old Town, stand at mainland Europe’s westernmost point at Cabo da Roca, and discover Cascais' beautifully rugged coastline and charming city. Throughout the day, we'll visit some must-see tourist sites, while also sneaking in local, off-the-beaten-path gems. This tour can be customised to suit your personal preferences. Please see the itinerary notes below. I’d love to show you more! Don’t forget to check out my other tours. Join me to explore Lisbon on foot or by car, or discover the authentic Silver Coast while visiting magical places like Nazaré and Óbidos.
