About Tour Guide Joao D.
Being an off-road driver for over 30 years, I know Portugal and Morocco inside out, literally “off the beaten track”. Making friends along the way and getting to know their culture, led me to organize tours and trips.
Me and my team (guides) put our heart and soul into each experience.
As a result, taking travellers beyond the destination, away from the usual touristic hustle. With this, we have been leading Private Tours in Portugal and Morocco for over 10 years.

Joao D. Portugal Tour Reviews
“No-show from guide”
We waited 30 past the start time, texted and called Joao and never got a response. We left to walk on our own. I would like a full refund please
“Sintra and Cascais tour with Rodrigo”
Rodrigo was substituted for Joao as my guide on the Sintra and Cascais tour. His English communication skills were excellent. We visited the Queluz Palace and his knowledge of the history of the palace really enhanced the visit. We also stopped at Cabo de Roca , did some shopping in Sintra and stopped for lunch in Cascais. Drove along the coast in the seaside town of Estoril on our return to Lisbon. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend Rodrigo’s tour guide services.
“Sintra and much more! ”
From the very beginning to the end of our tour we were blown away with how well everything went. We were 8 adults with a 1 year old on this tour. Our guide Maia and driver Pedro were so accommodating and flexible. We had a full day of touring and saw everything we had planned to see and more. Our whole group would not hesitate to book another event with this company.
