About Tour Guide Marco R.
Hello! Welcome to my page and hopefully soon, Lisbon!
I am a born and bred Lisbon Native, having grown up near the seaside. The city, its people, food, neighborhoods, rich diverse history,, storied nightlife and world-renowned cultural treasures were my playground and classroom. After MBA, I lived for Five years in London and traveled around Europe - and then returned to my home town where I have been enjoying my work in Tourism ever since.
I’m on a traning program to become a professional guide although I tour people in Lisbon for many years working. I have lead groups, both large and small, that include students, adults, business professionals, and retirees from abroad. I love taking guests around my beautiful city, and re-discovering its majesty and wonder with visitors - this is truly a privilege.
I excel at private tours in my van and in sharing the magical experiences that can only be found in this dynamic and historic city. Together, we will unlock it's secrets and discover why Lisbon, the starting point of the first globalisation of the world, is such a beloved, romantic and trendy city.
If you wish, I would be happy to work together and plan your perfect itinerary with a customized experience - or you may choose from one or more of my predesignated tour options.

This itinerary involves eight villages and a museum village. The main criteria for the creation of this itinerary is its proximity to Lisbon and the main architectural and intrinsic characteristics of the chosen places that could give its visitor a general but sufficiently intimate perspective of the type of villages that can be found all over Portugal.

Hello. My name is Marisa and I am a tour guide in the ancient, mysterious and beautiful city of Lisbon. Lisbon is an ancient city and Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims, Catholics passed through this city all left their mark in heritage, words and food. Lisbon was also a city of spies. Even the real James Bond ( yes, it was a real James Bond) lived here and worked here. So, if you want to join me in this journey, I offer you, in Lisbon, 2 tours: a tour to discover the old town of Lisbon and a spy tour, focusing on world war II. But if you want to experience a magical place, I'll take you to Pena Palace. Pena Palace is a must-see, in the beautiful, romantic and world heritage, Sintra Village. And in the end, before you leave Portugal, I promise you will understand the true meaning of the Portuguese word Saudade. See you soon. Goodbye or Adeus!
