Diogo C.

Hello, I’m Diogo — a private Lisbon tour guide, sommelier, and host, with a background in hospitality and Portuguese culture. I’ve worked for many years in the hospitality world in Portugal and London, including as a sommelier, and I studied the WSET Level 3 in Wines in London. I’m also the co-founder of a Portuguese wine brand in Alcácer do Sal, which gives me a strong connection to local producers and the countryside beyond the cities. While wine is an important part of my background, my tours are not limited to food and wine. I design private, tailor-made tours from Lisbon that can focus on culture, history, landscapes, architecture, and everyday local life, or combine these elements naturally with wine and gastronomy when it makes sense. I work exclusively with private guests and small groups, creating experiences at a relaxed pace and shaped around each guest’s interests. Whether you’re visiting Portugal for the first time or returning to explore more deeply, my goal is to offer an authentic, personal perspective rather than a standard sightseeing tour. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience Portugal in a genuine, unhurried way.

Pedro G.

I was born and raised in Eric Eira, a coastal village located approximately 45 minutes from Lisbon. I pursued my academic studies in Audiovisual Communication in Lisbon and currently reside in the city. With a strong passion for sports and outdoor activities, I have a deep connection to the ocean. I practice bodyboarding regularly and enjoy spending time in nature, including multi-day trekking experiences. These interests have shaped my appreciation for both Lisbon’s coastal identity and its surrounding landscapes. I have been working as a professional tour guide since 2014. My career began following a transformative overland journey from England to Guinea-Bissau with my partner (now my wife) and close friends. This experience reinforced my vocation for communication, cultural exchange, and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Upon returning to Lisbon, I recognized the emerging potential of tuk-tuk tourism within the city. I saw this as an opportunity to combine my passion for Lisbon with a dynamic and people-oriented profession. Since then, I have been continuously active in the industry, providing personalized and engaging tour experiences.

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?

“Best tour guide ever!!”

I can honestly say that Joana is the best tour guide I have ever had. I have been taking a big trip 1 to 2 times a year for the last 14 years. And in almost every city I go to, I go on some sort of a tour and this was the best tour experience I ever had. Joana is the nicest, most thoughtful person I have ever met while traveling. She worked very hard to make sure she was taking us to locations that we would genuinely be interested in. I absolutely loved her from the moment we met. Her kindness and thoughtfulness was just amazing and I feel like I have made a new friend!

Joana A.

I believe somedays everything is aligned and you meet people that could be your family from another country! And being able to show my country, the fun stories of Porto while meeting special people, that is the biggest blessing I could have! Thanks for your super kind words, and for the fact that the time with you and your daughter passed so quickly! Hope the world is small and our paths cross again! Thanks again for picking me as your tour guide.

Inez gave us a great tour of Sintra. She worked there in two palaces for ten years and knows the details inside and out. We learned so much and had a wonderful time with her. She also took us to a nice pastry shop where we had a local snack and coffee. She is a perfect choice if you want to have thorough tour and a good time.

Ines P.

Dear Ned, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure showing you around Sintra and sharing some of the details that make these palaces so special. And of course, no visit to Sintra is complete without a good pastry and coffee! I’m so glad you enjoyed the day, and I hope to see you again in Portugal!
