Hello! Welcome to the most beautiful city in the world: Lisbon. I was born and raised in here and I cannot see myself living in any other city. I have a Bachelor Degree in Tourism and was licensed National Tourist Guide in 1998. I finished a Degree in History in 2013 and in 2021 my Master in History and Philosophy of Science. I have been working as a tourist guide with german, english and portuguese speaking groups in roundtrips/circuits within the country. I have experience in hiking tours, cultural tours and guided tours of monuments and museums throughout the whole national territory. I manage the projects Passeios Literários and Lisbon by the Book — both specialized in literary guided tours of Lisbon, and work as a guide for both projects as well. I’m the co-creator and responsible for the development of guided tours through the cultural heritage of the city of Lisbon for the project História LX — History, Heritage and Culture of Lisbon. I’m also the co-creator and responsible for the project Guide in Lisbon — specialized Tours. I have special interests in History, History of Science and Medicine and the History of Mentalities.

Hello. My name is Marisa and I am a tour guide in the ancient, mysterious and beautiful city of Lisbon. Lisbon is an ancient city and Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims, Catholics passed through this city all left their mark in heritage, words and food. Lisbon was also a city of spies. Even the real James Bond ( yes, it was a real James Bond) lived here and worked here. So, if you want to join me in this journey, I offer you, in Lisbon, 2 tours: a tour to discover the old town of Lisbon and a spy tour, focusing on world war II. But if you want to experience a magical place, I'll take you to Pena Palace. Pena Palace is a must-see, in the beautiful, romantic and world heritage, Sintra Village. And in the end, before you leave Portugal, I promise you will understand the true meaning of the Portuguese word Saudade. See you soon. Goodbye or Adeus!

Olá, dear traveller. My name is Alessia,born in Italy but raised as citizen of the world, in soul. I studied Foreign Languages and graduated in Tourism as certified European Tour Leader. My inescapable passion for travel, for cultures and photography led me to Portugal, where I fell madly in love with Porto, living it with overwhelming love and losing myself in its history and tradition, among sunshine and waves, breathtaking views, excellent Portoguese wines and cuisine but above all, among the romantic and timeless glimpses of its invincible beauty. Come with me on a journey through the scents of old markets, of stories of authentic people, sailos and conquerors ... till the secret places that only locals and those who enjoy the less touristy routes can know. If you are looking for a tour that can be different from the ones in the catalogues and that will captivate you with Portuguese tales to take home as a precious souvenirs - this is exectly where you will find it.

My name is João, a native son of Porto. I've been a certified Tourism Animator for the last 5 years, a Gentleman Rider for a few decades now and most importantly, in love with my city, her stories and importance in the World history. After a successfull, but not very fullfilling, career in management and mechatronics engineering, I decided to create experiences that would allow me to work on and share my passions: my classic motorcycles, the love of my city, history and storytelling ( yes, I talk a bit!) That combination came together naturally to create my tour experiences that use the old neighborhoods, landmarks, viewpoints and facades to tell you the history and stories of Porto. ( It also allows me to start tours with guests and end with friends. ) My tours focus on: Porto history, local stories, local perspective, landmarks, vistas & viewpoints, photography, Port wine tasting. After being a tourism guide for 5 years I realize that meeting new people and seeing them fall in love with Porto is what I really love to do. I hope to meet in Porto soon! Disclaimer: I'm also a part of secret world conspiracy to make people fall in love with Porto. . . you've been warned :) I will be your private guide. Welcome to Porto!

We are mindful of the changes the tourism boom has brought to Lisbon in recent years, which is why we support the art of hospitality without neglecting our genuine Lisboan identity and this is what we will share with you. We like detours and how they keep surprising us. We might stop for 20 minutes to see the sunset or take a walk and go have a ginginha at that special place. We don’t want your trip to Lisbon to taste like a frozen meal. What we serve here is homemade and freshly prepared.

Henrique R.
Portugal
I became a Tourist Guide in 2015 when I decided to give professional continuity to a life that had already crossed other professions. My passion for history and travel brought me the desire to study and share knowledge about the "history of places", to go beyond what we see, to enter the soul of what we visit and to learn a little about the mentalities of those who inhabited and lived in the same places we visit today. Private visits are the best way for me to express myself. In my 7-seater van, I welcome my guests in English, French, Italian and Portuguese. My tours focus on an off-the-beaten-track approach to surprise my clients by discovering the natural and historical beauty of Portugal, but even places that are considered too touristy can be given a unique and meaningful reading.

“Absolutely amazing tour of Porto with Joana”
If you’re looking for a fantastic tour guide, you can stop now. Just book Joana and you will have an amazing experience. Joana was prompt in all her email replies and designed the itinerary based on what we wanted - visit Lello bookshop, savour Portuguese tarts, buy vintage port and see all the iconic sights in Porto. Unfortunately our boat was 1.5 hours late to disembark due to a malfunctioning gangway. I was frantically texting Joana and she remained calm and reassuring. Despite waiting so long for us at the terminal, she still very generously gave us the full 5 hour tour, moved our Lello bookshop tickets entry time and rejigged our entire itinerary. We tasted the best Portuguese tarts, still warm from the oven, sampled port wine and purchased an excellent bottle, and toured all over Porto while she filled us with history, culture and amusing anecdotes. She also showed us some beautiful spots not on any tourist agenda. My whole family loved the day we spent with Joana, from the moment she picked us up, surprised us with a lovely picnic basket filled with drinks, snacks and really thoughtful souvenir gifts. And finally, the next day, she sent us a video she put together of al the places we had visited with her. Thank you, Joana, for sharing your beautiful city with us!
Joana A.
Dear May, your super kind words just fill my heart! From my side was a true pleasure to be able to show Porto to you and your beautiful and inspiring family, with such cool energy during all day! The afternoon went so fast, we explore, we laugh, we walk a bit to get the city athmosphere. But, most important of all, is that you enjoyed your time and take good memories: by the new places you saw, new country visited, new tastes like the Pastel de Nata and drinking the real Porto Wine in Porto! I love a quote that says that "when people meet, they take a bit of us and leave a bit of them", and that was the exact feeling that I got after meeting your sweet and kind family! Wishing you all the best & great travels around the globe.. and thanks again for picking me as your tour guide! Joana
“A Fantastic Journey into Lisbon's World War II Espionage Scene”
We spent two fascinating hours with Marisa on her Spy Tour, walking the streets of Lisbon to see the historic meeting places and hotels of some of the city's most famous World War II spies. Marisa is so knowledgeable and an entertaining storyteller. We learned all about Agent Garbo and "Duško" Popov and the inspiration behind Ian Fleming's James Bond character. Marisa also gave us great insight into the atmosphere of Lisbon during the war, and how Salazar, Portugal's then dictator, navigated the tricky waters of neutrality. Marisa's expertise and enthusiasm for the topic shone. Her tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Lisbon's World War II history and in the history of wartime espionage. Thanks, Marisa!

Thank you Susanne and Chad. I loved every minute!!!

This was an exceptional experience. Leonor was a fabulous guide. Her knowledge of Lisbon and Sintra was extensive. She was great at reading the group and what we could physically do as it's an extensive walking tour. This tour was well worth the money. Thank you Leonor for a great day in Sintra!!!

Escape towards the Alentejo region with a local leading the way and immerse yourself in community culture by participating in a traditional pottery workshop or enjoying a leisurely meal at a family-owned restaurant. The flavors of Alentejan cuisine shine through dishes like migas and açorda, and creating your own pottery souvenir is a great way to preserve the memory of your trip.
A private guide can lead you to the lesser-known town of Monsaraz, a picturesque hilltop settlement with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the Alqueva Dam. Exploration has just gotten easier!
