Olá (Hello) my name is Silvia. I'm a dreamy native Portuguese that enjoys to walk and imagine how things where in the past and how they may be in the future. I'm a licensed professional tour guide and I truly believe that my best quality is the way I do my job. I have an immense love for my city Lisbon, and sharing all of my broad knowledge of Portuguese history and culture through my passion. A professional guide should be informative but also be able to paint a picture so perfect in your imagination that you feel like you're traveling through the memories of the past and the present. I just love my country and my city, so I don't know any other way to express it other than through giving vibrant, immersive and heart touching tours. There's not a price you can put on taking the time to get to know Portugal and being able to take in unforgettable memories. At the end of the day the experience is always beyond enriching as we absorb gorgeous views, get to know locals and take in all the history that Portugal has to offer. So join me on this adventure where you will find the best our beautiful country has to offer from breath take castles to parks and museums. I'm sure (it's really important to me) you'll take home wonderful memories of my Portuguese culture after spending some time with me. Who knows, maybe you will feel enough to truly feel "saudade"; the typical Portuguese feeling of missing someone or something that made us unforgettably happy. All of my tours are private. You can experience a "walking tour" which in my opinion is the best way to get to know the heart of my lovely city. But there's also "tour by car", in Lisbon but also to other places not far away from Lisbon. Almost everything is possible and I'm open to customize the tour in the way that better suits your interest. Let me personally introduce Lisbon to you! Licensed Guide since 2008

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Just thirty minutes from Lisbon there's the romantic town of Sintra that will be our first stop. Here we can visit one of the several monuments open to the public, according to your personal interests (example: Pena Palace, Town Palace, Moorish castle, Quinta da Regaleira - you choose). Is such a small town but so characteristic with the local shops and pastries, tiny streets and with this green from the mountain with the same name: Sintra. After Sintra we will proceed to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, where in the past people thought was the end of the world, here we have breathtaking views towards the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, and fortunately today we know is not the end of the world. Later we will drive the scenic road coming back to Lisbon but doing a short stop at Cascais, where the locals love to came even for a short walk. Where you will have free time to walk around and see how an old fishermen village became such a beautiful town.

Sylvia is a wonderful guide! We visited the Pena Palace, the city of Sintra & had a wonderful seaside lunch in Cascais! Sylvia’s knowledge of the places we visited was excellent! Sylvia gave us some dining recommendations in Lisbon & we dined at one of the restaurants last night & it was excellent! We highly recommend Sylvia to guide you through this wonderful country of Portugal!

My husband and I travel quite a bit and frequently hire private guides when we are visiting new places. Silvia is one of the best of the best! We were with her for 1-½ days, and we learned so much about Lisbon, the surrounding area and Portuguese culture and history. She listened carefully to our interests and tailored our program to fit. She clearly loves her city and loves what she does. An exceptional guide!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Silvia. It was our first time in Lisbon so she recommended that we do an "overview" type of tour that gave us the opportunity to see a lot of sites in Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais. She is a very pleasant person with lots of knowledge and delightful to spend a day with.

Silvia is an amazing tour guide - she has deep knowledge of Portugal and presents it in a fun and friendly way. We learned a great deal and saw amazing places with her- by the end of our two days together it felt like she was part of the family. I highly recommend working with her on your next Portugal adventure!
