I am a person who really likes talking, telling, being with people, and especially with those ones who want to know my city. Although I have been living in several cities, Toledo is the one that impresses me the most and the one that has a lot of thing to show: history, culture, traditions, legends. . . I don't want to forget Lisbon, the city where I was born, but I've been living in Toledo for a long time. Toledo really is the city I've spent most of my life in, and I'm in love with it. I have almost always been working in front of people, in public establishments, sales, hotels, wine tourism, and during the last years, explaining the city of Toledo. My studies have been focused on tourism, both Accommodation and Guiding. Because of my origin, my native language is Portuguese, and at the same level is my Spanish; but for years I've been working in English, and lately in French. And, although I have made visits to organized groups, much better is a private visit, since we can do it "a la carte", and we can adapt the visit to the needs that will come during the visit. We are not all the same; so the same visits cannot always be repeated. And every day is a different experience and visit. My training is constant, since both the City Council and the main monuments of Toledo are constantly organizing improvement courses, continuous training, with the corresponding qualifications. I really like personal contact; so with these visits we can have that direct contact, and I can transmit so many details of the history of Toledo. I wait for you! I am Superior Technician on Guiding, Information and Touristic Attendance. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Toledo tour

Toledo is one of the oldest cities in Spain, with a lot of history. In fact, the history of Toledo is almost a summary of the history of the country, and it is therefore necessary to understand the history of the country. We'll talk about the origins of the city, since the Bronze Age, about 3500 years ago. And then we will talk about the arrival of the Romans, and what remains of them in this city. The same with the Visigoths, for whom Toledo was for the first time capital. And in particular we will deal with the three and a half centuries during which Toledo was dominated by Muslims. And the time of explendor of the city, after the Reconquest, when it was again the capital until the sixteenth century, when it was moved to Madrid. In my tours I like to get lost in the labyrinth of Toledo and to show, apart from the highlights, the corners that give to Toledo a special magic; corners that are not normally visited by tourists. I will give you interesting and fun facts, not just a history lesson.

Felipe transformed the streets and architecture of Toledo into a mesmerizing story bringing alive its rich and complex history. He walked us along streets and showed us places we never would have discovered on our own. We couldn't recommend him more highly!
