I’m Diogo, a proud native of Porto—a city whose name means “harbor,” and for me, that says it all. A harbor is where journeys begin and end, and my life has been one incredible voyage of discovery. I like to think that I inherited the spirit of Prince Henry the Navigator. Like him, I'm driven by an incessant thirst for exploration, cultural connection and personal growth. For years, I've turned this passion into a career, leading trips around Europe, Asia and the Americas, working with some of the most renowned tour operators. But Porto and the north of Portugal are safe harbors for me. There's something special, mystical, almost esoteric, about the culture and personality of the people who live here. I think that's why it's a haven, because whoever comes and discovers it, always comes back! What sets me apart? My tours aren't just trips - they're experiences. I take you beyond the guidebooks to hidden gems, authentic moments and unforgettable connections with inspiring people and stunning scenery. With two decades of experience, a deep love of storytelling, and first-hand knowledge of the places we explore, I offer something unique: personalized adventures that inspire you. Because I don't just show you places - I immerse you in them. I show you the most unique things about this region and make you live and feel them like a local. Every trip with me is made with heart, passion and purpose, so that your next adventure is unforgettable. Join me, choose one of my trips, or let me craft an exclusive itinerary for you, and let's discover the extraordinary together!
