Hello, I'm Magda and I would be so pleased to host your in my hometown Porto and/or other towns in the Northern Portugal. I graduated in History of Art at Faculty of Humanities, University of Porto, worked as a teacher, art gallerist, bookseller and finally as a tour guide (and I loved all these previous jobs!). My tours are focused on Architecture, Art and History, but the charm of Porto goes beyond that: traditions, legends, secrets, food... My main purpose is to show you what really makes us different and unique. (sometimes I'm the traveler, taking pictures of my favorite spots - you check the gallery :-) I'm available and pleased to create the best plan for you, according to your preferences. Looking forward to meeting you! Best

Max K.
Hi, I’m Max, and I’m here to take you on an unforgettable adventure in the Algarve! My journey has always been driven by adventure and a great passion for the sea and the skies. Many people know me from my acting career (I was an actor for 20 years on Brazilian television), but my true calling has always been exploring the world. At 22 years old, I became a private pilot, and since then, I’ve completed some major expeditions across Brazil in my airplane, logging over 5,000 flight hours. But my thirst for adventure didn’t stop there! I travelled 21,000 kilometers across South America in a motorhome, living on the road for six months. And as a true ocean lover, I have crossed the Atlantic three times on sailing yachts! For the past seven years, I have been living aboard my sailboat, learning that the best way to live is with my feet in the water and my mind open to discoveries. I’ve been living in Portugal for several years and I'm ready to be your guide in this spectacular region, sharing not only the best routes but also incredible stories and unique experiences. If you’re looking for an authentic adventure, with someone who truly understands and lives the spirit of sailing, I’m the perfect host to take you on this journey. As your local guide, I am committed to creating a personalized and unforgettable experience. Whether you’re seeking breathtaking natural wonders, captivating cultural encounters, or a deeper connection with the Algarve’s sea soul, I invite you to embark on this journey with me. I’ll take you beyond the usual tourist routes, sharing hidden gems, fascinating stories, and the true essence of this magical region. Are you ready to sail with me?

Guide passionate about leading travelers through unique paths, sharing stories, culture, and unforgettable experiences worldwide They say Coimbra is the city of students and poets, but it’s so much more when you walk its winding stone streets. From the breathtaking views at the University to the hauntingly beautiful sounds of Fado echoing through the Almedina, I’d love to show you the soul of this city. Who’s up for a walk through history with me?" Coimbra is calling! I’m heading out to explore the historic center and the University hills. There’s no better way to see it than with good company. Want to join me for a stroll and some great stories?"

Pedro C.
Hello! My name is Pedro, a local guide from Guimarães, proudly known as the “Cradle of the Nation.” I’m 30 years old and have been guiding travelers across Porto and Northern Portugal for more than five years. I’m passionate about culture, history, and storytelling, and I love sharing my region’s heritage with visitors from around the world. I am cheerful, energetic, and friendly, always creating a welcoming atmosphere and connecting with my guests. Besides guiding tours, I also provide long-distance transfers and visits to other destinations upon request. As a wine lover and founder of my own company, I specialize in private, comfortable, and authentic experiences. I offer complimentary pickup and drop-off in the Porto area, using premium vehicles such as a Mercedes Class V (7 seats) or BMW Series 5 (4 seats). I organize tours in the Douro Valley, Porto, Aveiro, Costa Nova, Braga, Guimarães, and other regions, including scenic transfers between Porto and Lisbon with optional stops. All experiences are fully customizable to suit your preferences, pace, and travel style. My goal is to make your visit to Portugal memorable, fun, and enriching.

Pedro F.
I`m a calm person and I pay attention to detail. Also i like to pass on knowledge and good mood and i have a degree from Turismo de Portugal specific to the Sintra area and 8 years of experience. Regarding the area where I work and where I have always lived, I know all the monuments and their stories. The Sintra area is not only palaces and gardens, it has beaches and other interests as well. I like to provide a good experience and captivate people in relation not only to the monuments but also to our gastronomy and local handicrafts. I think the experience is further enriched with a local guide who knows the stories and places that don't usually come in the tourist guides.
