(9 reviews)

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!

I have been a tour guide for 7 years, working for some of the biggest tour operators in Lisbon. I have started from zero, and during these years, exploring, studying and showing others from north to south our paradise, brought me the experience to become a full time private guide. Studying history for the past 6 years while working as a tour guide has provided me with extensive knowledge of Portugal, and piqued my interest in learning about different cultures and traditions which makes me be always looking for unique, off the beaten track experiences. I strive to develope tours all over the country at the most beautiful and unique sites, providing local and authentic experiences for my customers. My job as I like to describe, it's give you the perfect day, tailor made to suit your own preferences, at the region or regions that you are interesting to visit in our small paradise.

Hello My name is Luis and I'm your local guide from Lisbon. Welcome to my city and I will very happy to be your next GPS on your journey to Portugal. My curiosity for traveling and getting to know new cultures in the world was always evident. My life in tourism has already taken me to travel and get to know different realities, I started by going to the Highlands, where I worked in the various departments of Marriot Dalmahoy in Edinburgh, I also had the possibility to check out the madness of the Balearic Islands as a hotel animator for some seasons. But it was my country that I fell in love with, its history, traditions, gastronomy, the relaxed way we always find solutions to problems. I think the main feature on my tours is the enthusiasm. I am a local guide in the city of Lisbon, but I know Portugal and islands well and for this reason, if you need a guide and want to get to know Portugal in a more exciting, curious and historical way. Getting to know Lisbon in a relaxed way and telling you travel story. Storytellers, is one of the main objectives was Tour Guide. I make the difference because of my experience and knowledge of 11 years in this market of tour guiding. Unfortunately, the profession of official guide is not accredited in Portugal, making anyone who has historical knowledge, tour guides. There are only two entities accredited in Portugal Snatti and Agic. I am a member of Snatti. My business is due to 3 big sections: Walk Tours, Daytrips and multi days tours. I have a variety of themes in my tours: Cultural, gastronomic, historical, street art, nature, wineries, etc.

Ralfe F.

Welcome to Northern Portugal! My name is Ralfe. I was born in Amarante in 1991. My entire childhood was spent in this small but beautiful town, where I lived with my parents. My maternal grandparents were from the Douro Valley, so I have a great connection with this beautiful region, of which I am very proud. The Douro valley is the most famous wine region in Portugal. With vineyards on both banks of the Douro river, here the so appetizing and tasty Port wine is produced. From an early age, I began to explore my country and discover places of incredible beauty. In 2019 I started working as a tour guide, falling in love with sharing all the knowledge I've acquired so far. My goal is to create friendly relationships with everyone I visit and have the pleasure of meeting. These relationships are based on transparency, simplicity and trust. I prioritize sharing experiences so that all the experiences I organize are more enriching. I feel like a host in my own country, and I am available to personalize my tours according to your preferences.

Although tourism changed Porto for the best (in my opinion) for the last 5 years, me and my family had to move out from Porto, into the bush, housing and living costs became very high and we made the choice that we should move out to the countryside. In this last year 2020 and even this year 2021 with pandemic work just fell down drastically and we had to adapt. Making Port Wine, Muscat wine and sometimes olive oil in a amatuer way since 2014, this hobbie become my family income. With vineyards and olives fields almost abandoned from the pandemic I rolled up my sleeves and went to work, asking neighbours and friends if I could keep their grapes and olives for harvest time, their answers were immediately YES Dividing my life between Porto and Douro Valley, me and my family feel completely safe, happy and relaxed with this new way of living your life.

Gabriele C.

I’ve been touring the Azores islands since I was 14, experiencing the trails and discovering the most magical places that this archipelago has to offer. At the age of 16, after "stealing" my father's diving mask, I became fascinated with the underwater world, exploring the most untouchable reefs of the Atlantic North . Later, as soon as I finish high school, I start to travel the world embarking on one of my greatest adventures in Asia, where I graduated in Law at the University of Macau. Back on the island, I developed a different tourism project, providing sensations of well-being and pleasure, based on high quality standards.

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.

Raquel nos brindó un excelente tour, adaptado a las necesidades de toda mi familia. Interactuó mucho con mis hijos de 7 y 10 años, y adaptó el recorrido para mis papás que tienen 80 años y alguna restricción de movilidad. Raquel es muy conocedora de la historia y nos pareció una tremenda experiencia para conocer la historia de la virgen de Fátima. Gracias Raquel!
