I am a certified guide and I have been leading and guiding hundreds of tours in the last 12 years. With me you will visit both the well-known tourist attractions as well as the secret gems. Thanks to my extensive experience working as a private guide for a wide variety of travelers I have learned to be a mix between a scholar tour guide and a local expert. The passion for my country took me in the direction of tourism. I live my life in a passionate way and always follow my dreams, being them professional or hobbies. Studied Tourism, have a Degree in Management, have a Master in Relationship Marketing, with a thesis about the relationship airlines have with their clients using social media, and a Postgraduate Degree in Tour Guiding. I love Art, History, Music, Photography, Nature and Surf (with 500 miles of coastline why not?). Portugal is a place where many things are possible and where the sun is always shining. My experiences as a tour guide and in life have taught me that each individual or group is unique, that what is interesting for one person may be boring for another. One of my strengths is my ability to rapidly get to know individuals and build a fluid and open conversation with them in order to understand their requirements and tailor the tour to them. Based in Lisbon, I have a selected offer of tours that reflect the passion for this city and region. Strong on details I notice numerous things that the untrained eye misses. I will show you the distinctive features of my city, explain its history, as well as provide you with a wide range of information on the sights, landmarks and local artists. A tour, in my opinion, is more than just an experience; it is an encounter between you and a new culture. I'll be the bridge, interpreteer, a local friend teaching you all about the visited destination and beyond. At the end of the tour I will help you to plan what to do and where to go or eat, in case you are staying a few more days in Lisbon. I am a certified guide and a father of a beautiful son since 2019. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. - Official Certified Guide by AGIC nº291 (I am allowed to guide inside all monuments in Portugal) - Studied Tourism - Degree in Management - Master in Relationship Marketing - Postgraduate Degree in Tour Guiding - Own a licensed company with all insurances required and registered at the national tourism board: RNAAT: 900/2019 No restrictions.

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Escape the crowds and experience the true magic of Sintra on foot. This tour is designed for those who love nature, history, and breathtaking scenery. We begin our journey at the highest point of the mountain, the majestic Pena Palace Park, and wind our way down through ancient forest trails that most tourists never see. Unlike standard car tours, this walking experience allows you to breathe the mountain air and discover hidden viewpoints overlooking the Atlantic. We will visit the medieval Moorish Castle in the morning light before descending through lush romantic gardens toward the historic village center. After a well-deserved traditional lunch, we will trade the forest for the ocean, returning to Lisbon via the stunning Coastal Road of Cascais, where the cliffs meet the sea.

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

Pick-up in Lisbon: We start with a comfortable drive from your accommodation to the top of the Sintra Mountain. Pena Palace Park (Early Morning): We begin at the gates of the Park of Pena. We’ll explore the exotic gardens and the palace exterior, avoiding the mid-day heat. Moorish Castle: A mid-morning stop to walk the ancient battlements. From here, you’ll have a 360-degree view of the region—it’s the best photo spot in Sintra! The Descent - Villa Sassetti Trail: We start our hike down. This is one of Sintra’s most beautiful "secret" trails, passing through Mediterranean vegetation and granite boulders. Old Town Arrival: We finish our hike in the heart of the historic center (Sintra Vila). Lunch: A break for a traditional Portuguese meal in a local tavern. Don’t forget to try the famous Travesseiros or Queijadas! Scenic Coastal Drive: We leave the mountains and head to the coast of Cascais before heading back to Lisbon via the scenic Marginal road along the Tagus River.
