Being an off-road driver for over 30 years, I know Portugal and Morocco inside out, literally “off the beaten track”. Making friends along the way and getting to know their culture, led me to organize tours and trips. Me and my team (guides) put our heart and soul into each experience. As a result, taking travellers beyond the destination, away from the usual touristic hustle. With this we have been leading Private Tours in Portugal and Morocco for over 7 years.

Francisco O.

Hi! I'm Francisco :) I´m a local guide, born and raised in sintra. I know sintra many years before the turism started, before 1996, it was my playground and a place for locals. I heard many legends about mysticism, secrets and sintra stories, told by local elders. Later I joined a group in sintra and deepened my historical knowledge and the Portuguese spiritual tradition linked to the Templars and knights of order of christ. The passion for history comes from my father, a history teacher and a monarch. Now, I'm responsible for sharing my passion and knowledge in a immersing guided view of Sintra, Quinta-da-Regaleira, and Pena Palace, and the keeper of the first "door" to sintra history culture and spirituality.

I am a city girl, now a mommy, but still young and wild at heart! My passions are food, music, cinema and my friends. If you stick with me you will probably end up in a show or a party amongst friends and family!I know my way around fairs and markets ‘cause I grew up in a traditional Lisbon market. Join me for a morning of buying fresh produce for dinner and a cool drink at the local viewpoint. I am the main experience provider in Show me Lisbon, so I have been telling stories about the city history for more than 10 years now. I love cooking and organizing cool parties or cozy intimate dinners! I am also an expert in the perfect caipirinha…
