About Tour Guide Ines P.
Hi! My name is Ines and I would be thrilled to be your guide in the Lisbon area. I studied history of art, holding both a degree and a masters, and have 10 years of experience as a tour guide. I am passionate about art, architecture, history and culture. Whereas you want to enjoy the architecture highlights and hidden gems of the Lisbon area; explore the art scene being or contemporary art or Portugal’s unique crafts; or even combine history, art and indulging in gastronomy and wine tasting I am more than welcome to cater to your preferences.
I am also a mother of two young children, plus I have worked for more than 12 years as a museum and heritage educator so, I am very happy to create tours or adapt them to families travelling with children of all ages.

“An Exceptional Guide — Inês Made Lisbon and Sintra Unforgettable”
If you are visiting Lisbon or Sintra, book Ines. She is extraordinary. We had the absolute pleasure of spending two days with Ines — one exploring Lisbon and another in Sintra — and she truly became one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. Ines is incredibly knowledgeable, but what makes her exceptional is the passion behind that knowledge. She genuinely loves history, Portugal, and what she does, and her enthusiasm is contagious. She does not simply recite dates and facts; she tells stories, provides context, connects different periods of Portuguese history, and brings everything you are seeing to life. We learned an incredible amount without ever feeling like we were being given a history lesson. Some of us had visited Lisbon before while others were experiencing it for the first time, and Ines made the experience equally fascinating for everyone. Even those who already knew the city felt as though we were discovering it all over again. Our day in Sintra was equally memorable. Having Ines there transformed beautiful places into meaningful experiences because we actually understood the people, history, and stories behind them. Beyond her knowledge, Ines is simply wonderful to be around — warm, intelligent, funny, thoughtful, patient, and incredibly engaging. After two days together, she honestly felt less like our guide and more like a friend showing us the country and history she loves. We have traveled extensively and worked with many private guides over the years, and Ines is genuinely among the very best we have ever had. If you are considering a guide in Lisbon or Sintra, do not hesitate. Book Ines. She will completely elevate your experience. Thank you, Ines, for two unforgettable days. We feel very lucky to have met you!

Dear Ricardo, I am truly lost for words reading your review. Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. I am deeply touched, and so happy that I was able to add to your experience and help make your time here so special. Your kindness, wonderful spirit, and fantastic company are exactly what make me love my job so much. Having the opportunity to share my dear Lisboa and Sintra with people who genuinely want to discover them, and to create memories that will stay with them, is always my goal. Thank you again for such a lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure having you here.

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.

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.
