Henrique R.
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.

I have been living abroad and travelling extensively. When i came back to Portugal, wanted to build a unique experience for visitors looking to learn more about our amazing country. Not only history, but rather learning about life, culture and seeing Portugal through the eyes of a local. We will not talk about monuments only, we will discuss day-to-day life, culture, food, economy, politics, education... You choose, as the interaction will make the difference, and your tour will be unique to you

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.

Hello June, Good morning. First of all, I would like to thank you for your kind words, and it is also with great pleasure that I often remember you and your lovely family. I apologize for not responding sooner, but I only returned yesterday from a trip lasting several days... and covering many kilometers. I hope I contributed in the best way possible to ensuring you had an unforgettable vacation, which has now made you true ambassadors for Portugal, in India where you were born and in the US where you developed your careers and families. In the future, when you want to bring your grandchildren here, I will be here to welcome you with open arms. Thank you very much for being the special people that you are. A big kiss and hugs to all of you. All the best Duarte

Local Tour Guides in Sintra
Uncover Sintra’s charming beauty with the knowledge, skills and understanding of a local guide. Create memories that last a lifetime through private tours.
The expertise, knowledge, and warm-hearted nature of a tour guide in Sintra can significantly enhance your visit, making it both informative and emotionally enriching. A seasoned guide brings the town's rich tapestry of history, culture, and legends to life with captivating stories and insightful commentary. For example, as you wander through the enchanting Pena Palace, your guide might share tales of its whimsical Romanticism architecture and the royal intrigues that once played out within its vibrant walls. In the mysterious Quinta da Regaleira, the guide’s detailed explanations of the symbolic meanings behind the Initiation Well and the garden’s hidden tunnels add a layer of mystique to your exploration.
A guide’s local knowledge also uncovers gems like the serene Monserrate Palace and its exotic gardens, or a humble walk through Biester Palace, revealing their historical significance and unique charm. Beyond the facts, it’s the guide’s genuine passion for Sintra and warm, engaging manner that transform a standard tour into a memorable journey, creating a personal connection that leaves you with a deeper appreciation for this magical destination.
