My name is José, and I am a photo tour leader in Porto, the city where I was born and which I love as if it were my very own. It's because of this deep connection that I yearn to showcase it to the world through a unique, personalized, and unforgettable photo tour experience. From a very young age, I've been traveling through this beautiful country of Portugal, and now, I know it like the back of my hand - it's become my second skin, and I cherish it dearly. Always by my side is my trusty camera, which helps me capture the essence of my journeys, preserving the memories as I go. But above all else, my greatest passion - after my wife and my two children, and of course, my loyal dog - is to wander the streets of my beloved Porto with the spirit and curiosity as if I were experiencing it for the very first time. It's with that same feeling and emotion that I lead my photography tours through the city, engaging my guests to discover it, photograph it (and be photographed by me as well), and most importantly, to appreciate and be moved by everything it has to offer. It's an unforgettable experience that will immortalize those moments forever, and perhaps, instill an undeniable desire to return one day. Other passions that accompany me and contribute significantly to the person I am - one who loves people, places, history, nature, the environment, cultures and traditions, animals, and sharing the joys of life - are fueled by reading prose and poetry, the universal language of music (I was a DJ at Portugal's most iconic nightclub), and the gastronomy with its captivating flavors. But above all, it's the stories these elements reveal about the places we traverse that truly resonate with me. Today, 5 years after embarking on this project of photo tours in Portugal, I have had the pleasure and privilege of meeting hundreds of people from all around the globe. I have introduced them to the enchantment of this captivating country - Porto, Lisbon, Óbidos, Coimbra, Aveiro, the Douro Valley, and many other destinations. Witnessing the wonderment expressed in their opinions and passionate comments, I offered each of them, as a culmination of our shared discoveries, a photographic tale filled with the best and most joyful moments, where each of them is the protagonist. Nothing could make me happier, and that's why I'm eagerly here, awaiting all of you. Until then, my dear travelers! May our paths cross to create more unforgettable memories together! - Traveller since 1984 - Photographer since 1987 - Professional Photographer since 2018 - Photo Tour Leader since 2018 - Tourist Animation Agent since 2018 None.

This journey is about more than just photography; it's about creating lasting memories. I invite you to be not just a tourist; but become a storyteller.
