I'm Gui (as all my friends call me), a 39-year-old local from Lisbon who loves his little corner of the world so much that I dream of making others fall in love with its cultural and historical richness. A student of Portuguese history, culture, literature, and language, I was only absent from my hometown for a year, when I decided to embraced the challenge of studying in Florence, Italy. Marveling at my country's historical and cultural connections with other countries and places around the world and over the centuries, I got lost in the labyrinth of all these intricate and constant tangents. Even today, instead of looking for a way out of them, I scrutinize every new and intriguing corner of this endless maze with the curiosity of a neophyte, aiming to call each of these new curious regions my home. I want you to discover all of my favorite places near Lisbon, in addition to Lisbon itself. From Sintra and its romantic mysticism to Cascais and its maritime voluptuousness, as well as Serra da Arrábida and its wild nature that hides corners that are both intoxicating and sacred. Then there's Óbidos and its medieval ambience, and Nazaré with its waves that crush forgotten legends & myths. We can't forget about Alcobaça and Batalha, with its Romanesque and Gothic monasteries, or about Tomar, once the capital of the Order of the Temple in Portugal. Queluz, Mafra and Ajuda and their magnanimous royal palaces are also worth mentioning, as well as the city-museum of Évora, also the best oasis for any desert. Join me on these journeys through Portugal's culture. From raw history, to cooked cuisine, scrambled architecture, tasteful music, a thousand textures literature and sweet, sour and spicy stories.

Around 80M years ago, a mountain emerged from the Atlantic. Since then, that mountain was a prehistoric religious ground, was named Moon Hill by greek geographers, was part of the Moorish empire, and was finally conquered by the Portuguese, becoming the summer resort for Lisbon elites. At the turn of the 19th century, Sintra emerged as a tourist destination for people searching for a piece of Eden on Earth. In 1995, Unesco declared Sintra world heritage, turning it into the tourism phenomenon that still is today. Sintra is a must visit location in any trip to Lisbon, but is also kind of complicated to navigate smoothly through all the possibilities. That's why I'm here: to make everything easy for you! Being from Lisbon, since a young age I've been exploring the eerie wonders of Sintra, and now it's time for you to join me in this quest to fully understand this mystical and unique place in the world. Come with me, and I'll take you to the Village Palace and Quinta da Regaleira.
Guilherme was fantastic. He listened to our requests, and he helped us have the best day possible in Sintra. Our original guide was sick, but Gui swooped in to save the day. Full of knowledge and cultural stories, we learned so much about this beautiful country and this special place. We would highly recommend Gui for his warm nature and excellent guide skills. Thank you for making Suntra magical.✨
Gui picked our tour up last minute and did an amazing job! We were able to see so much more than we would have on our own. He was very knowledgeable about the area and history which enhanced the whole experience. He quickly adjusted to make our tour the best possible. Highly recommend him for your tour! Would definitely use him yeah that sounds awesome. again the next time we are in town!
The tour with Gui was wonderful! It was just our group of 8 and we all thought that Gui was amazing. His knowledge of the area, history of Portugal and the specific palaces, etc was very comprehensive. We learned so much and would have missed so much without Gui. He is an excellent guide and I highly recommend taking a tour with him.
