About Tour Guide Luis P.
Hello My name is Luis and I'm your local guide from Lisbon. Welcome to my city and I will very happy to be your next GPS on your journey to Portugal.
My curiosity for traveling and getting to know new cultures in the world was always evident.
My life in tourism has already taken me to travel and get to know different realities, I started by going to the Highlands, where I worked in the various departments of Marriot Dalmahoy in Edinburgh, I also had the possibility to check out the madness of the Balearic Islands as a hotel animator for some seasons.
But it was my country that I fell in love with, its history, traditions, gastronomy, the relaxed way we always find solutions to problems.
I think the main feature on my tours is the enthusiasm.
I am a local guide in the city of Lisbon, but I know Portugal and islands well and for this reason, if you need a guide and want to get to know Portugal in a more exciting, curious and historical way.
Getting to know Lisbon in a relaxed way and telling you travel story. Storytellers, is one of the main objectives was Tour Guide.
I make the difference because of my experience and knowledge of 11 years in this market of tour guiding.
Unfortunately, the profession of official guide is not accredited in Portugal, making anyone who has historical knowledge, tour guides. There are only two entities accredited in Portugal Snatti and Agic. I am a member of Snatti.
My business is due to 3 big sections: Walk Tours, Daytrips and multi days tours.
I have a variety of themes in my tours: Cultural, gastronomic, historical, street art, nature, wineries, etc.

“Thank you, Luis, and thank you Lisbon!”
Luis was a fantastic guide! We cannot recommend him enough. He gave us a terrific introduction to Lisbon, combining an overview of Lisbon’s fascinating history, with wonderful insights into the culture and life of the City today. We explored Alfama, Baixa, Barrio Alto and more, from quiet narrow cobblestone streets to spectacular roof top vistas. It was the perfect way to start our trip. Luis was polite and professional and passionate about his role as a tour guide to the City. Thank you, Luis, and thank you Lisbon! Tim and Jack

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!

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.
