About Tour Guide Joao D.
Being an off-road driver for over 30 years, I know Portugal inside out, literally “off the beaten track”. Making friends along the way and getting to know their culture and history, led me to organize tours and trips.
Me and my team of guides know all corners of Portugal.
Our team members include me (John), Rodrigo, Maia, Paulo and Ricardo. We all 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 for over 10 years.

“Great guide for our group of wine club members”
Joao was an incredible guide for our large group of 20 for two days around Lisbon and the wine region. Our group are wine club members from a winery in the USA and had a great trip with Joao educating us on Portuguese wines. His knowledge of the local wines was invaluable to our group. He also made the education entertaining and added his special flair, which was wonderful for this active and engaging group. Thank you Joao for two wonderful days in Lisbon that our wine club members will cherish for a lifetime.
