About Tour Guide 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.
