Hello, I'm Paula! Having a Portuguese father, a French mother, a 5 years experience living in Italy, 2 full immersions courses in England, my environment is international. I speak foreign languages and I'm in touch with foreign people since my childhood. Consequently I took a first degree in International Relations and then a degree in Tourism Information specializing in Tour Guiding in 2003. Since then I've been working as a professional tourist guide always willing to learn more and to meet new people. My purpose has always been to be an ambassador of the Portuguese built, cultural and natural heritage I'm so fond of. To that I add my passion for wine, specially the Portuguese ones! I'm a certified sommelier and I'm postgraduated in Wine Tourism. I love to organize wine & food tastings and sensory experiences. On each bottle there is a storytelling that I'm proud to share with guests. Drinking is quenching thirst, tasting wine is culture! You don't drink alcohol? Not a problem, there are plenty of delicacies to be tasted :-) I'm also a trainer. I teach Winemaking, Food and Wine Pairing, Tourist Products and Services, etc. Yes I love to share my knowledge. I believe that alone we go faster but together we go further. My tours are designed to be professional, customized, safe, easy, simple, fun. At the end guests feel happy, satisfied, enriched, taken care. I prefer quality tours over quantity. Therefore few reviews but glowing. Less is more :-) I pay special attention to the personal relationship. All my tours are customized and adaptable anytime with a special touch of mine. Ready? Here we go! - Master in Winetourism by Lusofona University, Lisbon. - Degree in Tourism Information, Specialization in Tour Guiding, at ISLA University, Lisbon. - Certified tour guide by AGIC (Portuguese Association of Tour Guides), member of the board for 3 years. - Certified sommelier by AEP (Portuguese Association of Sommeliers). - Degree in International Relations, at ISCSP University, Lisbon. - Certified translator by APT (Portuguese Association of Translators). - Several workshops and courses along the years to be more knowledgeable such as Lisbon's architects in the 19 and 20 centuries, traditional crafts, coaching, digital marketing... If the specific day/time you want is unavailable send me a message! I'll try to move my schedule.

An excellent tour by the lovely Paula! She was patient with our parge group, so knowledgeable, and tailored the tour to suit our requirements. Leading up to the date her communication was great. I would wholeheartedly recommend Paula to anyone looking for a walking tour in Lisbon.

Paula stepped in to cover this tour and she was wonderful. She had so much information on history, culture, and insights on Portuguese life. Her specialty is wine, so she added little tips of places to go. On our list of guides we’ve had this trip, she is first on our list.

We spent a wonderful half-day with Paula on a Lisbon walking tour. Paula went out of her way to understand our preferences and what we wanted to experience on our tour, and then led us through it expertly, always positive and highly informative. Most importantly, it was a pleasure spending time with her. My wife and I are experienced travelers, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Highest recommendation.

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

We'll start our walking tour at the Rossio railway station close to the beautiful Restauradores square. From there we will head to the heart of Lisbon, that is, Rossio square, full of history. Did you know Portugal had a huge presence in all continents in the past? Then it's time to climb to Chiado, a contemporary yet old district. This area is the most expensive of the city. As you may know Lisbon stretches along 7 hills, that's why four centennial lifts help people to go up and down the different hills. Soon you'll be getting down to the Townhall of Lisbon. The tour ends at the Square of the Commerce where the river waves at us.
