Hello, my name is Tiago. I was born and raised in Porto — as we proudly say here, a true Tripeiro. I dedicate my time with passion and commitment to sharing with visitors from all over the world everything that makes my country so special. My greatest passions are connecting with people, traveling, design, music, food, wine, yoga, and surfing. Porto, the Douro Valley, and the entire North of Portugal are perfect places to experience and enjoy all of these elements. Representing my city and my country is something I do with great pride. Porto is one of the most eclectic destinations in Europe. History lovers quickly fall under its charm — from the stunning Neo-Gothic interiors of Livraria Lello to the iconic São Bento Railway Station. The city is also a paradise for those with a true appetite for culinary discoveries. Food lovers will feel right at home here. After 20 years working as a fashion designer, I became a passionate traveler with a unique way of connecting with people and cultures. This journey led me to create private tours focused on Porto, the Douro Valley, and the world of Port wine, always delivered with authenticity and local insight. Thanks to my background in fashion and visual arts, I have also managed numerous photo shoots and editorials. For guests interested in photography, I can offer exclusive photo tours, including professional editing if desired. I truly believe I am the right guide to help you experience Portugal in a genuine and memorable way. Let’s share an unforgettable stay together. Até já!

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Discover the highlights of Sintra and Cascais on a full-day journey combining fairytale palaces, dramatic landscapes, and coastal charm. Begin in Sintra with a visit to the colorful Pena Palace, perched high in the hills and offering panoramic views over the surrounding forest. Near Sintra’s historic center, enjoy a tasting of a traditional local pastry before continuing to the mystical Quinta da Regaleira Palace, where you’ll have free time to explore its symbolic gardens, hidden tunnels, and the famous Initiation Well. Stop for lunch at a traditional Portuguese restaurant in Colares, known for its local cuisine and relaxed atmosphere. In the afternoon, drive through the scenic Sintra mountains to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, with breathtaking Atlantic views. Finish the day in Cascais, a charming coastal town where you can stroll through the historic center, marina, and seaside promenade before returning to Lisbon.

Highly recommend Tiago and this tour. We had a fantastic time visiting all of the mentioned locations with a history lesson and perspective of each. Tiago even took us to excellent snack & lunch spots with recommendations of some local dishes that did not disappoint. Despite only meeting him for the first time that morning, by the end of the day we felt as if we had been lifelong friends and were out on vacation together.

Tiago is an excellent guide who crafts delightful stories as he shares information about his native country. He adapted the itinerary to my limited mobility. By the end of the day, I felt as if I had known him for years and I wanted to spend a lot more time in Portugal, with him as my guide. I recommend him highly.

Tiago was simply outstanding. Having traveled all the way from Australia, we were hoping for an authentic Lisbon experience—and he absolutely delivered. His deep knowledge and genuine insight into Sintra, Pena Palace, and Lisbon as a whole made the experience exactly what we were looking for.

My wife and I were very happy with the Sintra Tour with Tiago. Leading up to the trip Tiago responded quickly to all my questions and made things very easy by prepurchasing the tickets for us. Tiago was very knowledgeable about the palace and the city, successfully guiding us through the fog, crowds and heavy traffic. We also had a great visit in Cascais including spectacular views, a great lunch and an ice cream spot away from all the crowds (Tiago knows the way). We would be very happy to take another tour with Tiago on our next visit to Portugal.
