Portuguese Tour Guides

Gonçalo C.

I’ve been working as a tour guide for over 8 years, starting from scratch and gaining experience with some of the biggest tour operators in Lisbon. Over time, my passion for exploring, studying, and sharing the best of Portugal — from north to south — led me to become a full-time private guide, studying and certifying myself as an officially licensed tourist guide by the Portuguese Republic. Throughout these years, I’ve been constantly deepening my historical knowledge while guiding travelers, which not only expanded my understanding of Portugal, but also sparked a genuine curiosity for different cultures and traditions. That’s what drives me to design unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences across the country — always aiming to deliver something authentic, local and memorable. I describe my job simply: to give you the perfect day, tailored to your pace and preferences, in the region (or regions!) that interest you most in our small paradise. • Certified Tourist Guide by the Portuguese Republic: 689/2025 • Tourism of Portugal RNAAT: 26/2024 • Fully licensed and insured, registered with Turismo de Portugal • “Clean & Safe” certified Private tours available for up to: – 4 passengers in a Mercedes E-Class sedan – 8 passengers in a Mercedes Vito van (additional fee applies) For larger groups than 8 requiring a minibus, feel free to reach out for availability and a custom quote.

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?

Joao M.

Hello, I'm João. I was born in Coimbra, and I have a degree in Anthropology, and master's degree in Cultural heritage, management and programming. I am a certified guide. I love meeting new people and helping them get to know my country better. If you enjoy history and want to learn more about our culture and traditions, I think my tours are the best choice for you. I work mainly in the city of Coimbra, and around. I am based in Coimbra region, but I am also available for tours in Lisbon, Aveiro, or Porto. I will be happily suggesting you a full customized tour in these 3 cities. Please send me a request, just customize your request. This is just a suggestion, but If you are very interested in history and would like to take an original tour in Lisbon, we can visit various archaeological sites in Lisbon (such as Roman cisterns, city walls, and Iron Age neighborhoods), sometimes walking through unexpected places, such as shopping malls or under hotels, banks, churches, and even bathrooms (public, clean)... History is where you least expect it. Thank you!

Miguel P.

I have always felt a deep connection to my country’s nature and history. I studied Biology and traveled across Portugal working in Nature Conservation, uncovering the breathtaking landscapes and hidden gems that make this land so special. More than just a guide, I am passionate about sharing the true soul of Portugal with those who visit us. Our history, our cuisine, and above all, our wine tell the story of an ancient country rich in tradition and culture. To me, there’s nothing better than exploring centuries-old cellars, tasting delicious wines, and diving into the stories that each bottle holds. Join me on an authentic and unforgettable journey through Portugal. From Lisbon’s historic streets to untouched natural landscapes, from prestigious wine cellars to hidden gastronomic treasures, every experience will be a true feast for the senses. Portugal awaits you. Are you ready for this adventure?

Akin A.

Passionate about exploring the world through the eyes of those who live, interact, and truly experience the essence of the city. A nomadic traveler since the age of 17, he seeks to see each destination as a local, believing that only this way can one truly capture the inner and outer beauty of a place. His goal is to understand the soul of the environment and fully immerse himself in the authenticity and cultural richness of each experience. My goal is not just to be your guide, but a friend who shares with you the charm and beauty of the places we explore together. I want to reveal the true essence of the city—its life, routine, and daily rhythm—whether we’re walking, running, cycling, driving, or simply pausing to watch the world go by.

Pedro F.

Son of Portuguese immigrants, I was born in the former West Germany. At the age of 12, I returned to Portugal, taking up residence in Almada, the riverside city that Lisbon serves as a backdrop on the other bank of the Tagus. I attended the Architecture course at the University of Lisbon but decided to change the direction of my life by dedicating myself with my heart and soul to graphic design. In 2013, I embarked on a guiding project with my family, acting as Tour Manager and Driver Guide. For the last 10 years, I have specialized in guided tours of the Sanctuary of Fátima and the Village of the Three Shepherds. Additionally, I have developed a passion for street art and have become an expert guide in this vibrant and dynamic field, offering unique insights into Lisbon's urban art scene. Fluent in Portuguese, English, and German, I strive to provide enriching and memorable experiences for all my clients, combining my deep knowledge of Portugal's heritage and contemporary culture with a personalized and friendly approach.

Hi! I’m Daniel, a 30-year-old tour guide from Santiago, Chile. I studied History and Tourism, and I’m passionate about sharing my city’s culture through local stories and unique urban experiences.

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.

Roberto M.

Welcome to a journey crafted not just with maps and schedules, but with the insight of a well-traveled storyteller. As an experienced explorer of cultures, landscapes, and hidden corners of the world, I bring to each tour a unique perspective shaped by years of travel across different continents. Fluent in multiple languages, I connect with travelers from diverse backgrounds and open doors to authentic interactions with the local community. My deep knowledge of local history allows me to bring the past to life — whether you’re wandering through historic city centers, visiting renowned monuments, or uncovering the stories behind lesser-known neighborhoods. Beyond the main avenues and iconic sites, I also guide you into off-track gems: quiet villages, natural wonders, local markets, and secret places that many visitors never find. If you’re seeking for experiences, discoveries, flavor, and context, then let me guide you through a journey where every step has meaning, every view has a story, and every moment becomes a memory worth keeping.

Drica P.

I’m a Brazilian-Spanish storyteller who has called Madrid home for over 20 years and I’m still captivated by its streets, flavors, and hidden corners. My tours are not just walks, but immersive experiences where history, art, food, and everyday life come together. The goal is simple: not just to show you Madrid, but to help you feel it. I draw inspiration from Goya at the Prado and Picasso at Reina Sofía, from flamenco rhythms to Almodóvar films, and from the simple joy of sharing tapas and vermouth in traditional taverns. I believe the best way to understand Madrid is through its culture and its people. That’s why every tour is built around storytelling, emotion, and connection. If you’re looking to discover a more authentic, human, and unforgettable Madrid, I’d love to share it with you.
