Hi! My name is Luís, and I was born and raised in Albufeira, in the heart of the Algarve. I’ve been working in the hospitality industry since I was 18, and since 2017 I’ve been a licensed professional tour guide and travel agent (RNAVT 7283), officially certified by Turismo de Portugal. Being a tour guide has always been my dream — and today I’m proud to share my region with travelers from all over the world. What truly makes my tours special is the authentic local experience I offer through my trusted network of partners: small family-run businesses across the Algarve. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with local restaurant owners, fishermen, boat captains, and regional wine producers, allowing my guests to enjoy unique experiences such as: Private boat trips with local fishermens Traditional lunches in family-owned restaurants Wine tastings with local producers Genuine cultural encounters with local people These are not mass tourism experiences — they are personal, authentic, and truly Algarvian. With deep local knowledge, a passion for the Algarve, and years of experience working with international travelers, I create relaxing and unforgettable private tours, fully tailored to each guest. I look forward to welcoming you and showing
