About Tour Guide Leonor A.
Hello!
Welcome to the most beautiful city in the world: Lisbon. I was born and raised in here and I cannot see myself living in any other city.
I have a Bachelor Degree in Tourism and was licensed National Tourist Guide in 1998. I finished a Degree in History in 2013 and in 2021 my Master in History and Philosophy of Science.
I have been working as a tourist guide with german, english and portuguese speaking groups in roundtrips/circuits within the country. I have experience in hiking tours, cultural tours and guided tours of monuments and museums throughout the whole national territory.
I manage the projects Passeios Literários and Lisbon by the Book — both specialized in literary guided tours of Lisbon, and work as a guide for both projects as well.
I’m the co-creator and responsible for the development of guided tours through the cultural heritage of the city of Lisbon for the project História LX — History, Heritage and Culture of Lisbon. I’m also the co-creator and responsible for the project Guide in Lisbon — specialized Tours.
I have special interests in History, History of Science and Medicine and the History of Mentalities.

“Great Tour and Great Guide”
This was an exceptional experience. Leonor was a fabulous guide. Her knowledge of Lisbon and Sintra was extensive. She was great at reading the group and what we could physically do as it's an extensive walking tour. This tour was well worth the money. Thank you Leonor for a great day in Sintra!!!

“Wonderful personalized tour”
Leonor did a custom tour for our family of 4 for 6hours. She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She is also a talented linguist - most of her tours are actually German yet her English is absolutely impeccable. Overall, we had tremendous fun exploring Lisbon with her and would recommend her to anyone.

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!

I have been living abroad and travelling extensively. When i came back to Portugal, wanted to build a unique experience for visitors looking to learn more about our amazing country. Not only history, but rather learning about life, culture and seeing Portugal through the eyes of a local. We will not talk about monuments only, we will discuss day-to-day life, culture, food, economy, politics, education... You choose, as the interaction will make the difference, and your tour will be unique to you
