We are mindful of the changes the tourism boom has brought to Lisbon in recent years, which is why we support the art of hospitality without neglecting our genuine Lisboan identity and this is what we will share with you. We like detours and how they keep surprising us. We might stop for 20 minutes to see the sunset or take a walk and go have a ginginha at that special place. We don’t want your trip to Lisbon to taste like a frozen meal. What we serve here is homemade and freshly prepared.

“Private tour”
Our driver Carlos was a pleasant and VERY informative gentleman. His knowledge and passion for the region was amazing. We never felt rushed and he always took his time to show us more "off the beaten path" locations. Highly recommend! Thank you.

“A fantastic day at Sintra”
Alexandra V arranged a day for my family exactly as we wanted. She listened to our needs which is very important, and her communications were quick, helpful and always polite. I won’t post any photos with this review as there are many, many Sintra pics online. I absolutely recommend Alexandra V for your specialised tour needs. We are very grateful for what was achieved.

I’ve been working as a tour guide for over 8 years, starting from scratch and gaining experience with some of the biggest tour operators in Lisbon. Over time, my passion for exploring, studying, and sharing the best of Portugal — from north to south — led me to become a full-time private guide, studying and certifying myself as an officially licensed tourist guide by the Portuguese Republic. Throughout these years, I’ve been constantly deepening my historical knowledge while guiding travelers, which not only expanded my understanding of Portugal, but also sparked a genuine curiosity for different cultures and traditions. That’s what drives me to design unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences across the country — always aiming to deliver something authentic, local and memorable. I describe my job simply: to give you the perfect day, tailored to your pace and preferences, in the region (or regions!) that interest you most in our small paradise. • Certified Tourist Guide by the Portuguese Republic: 689/2025 • Tourism of Portugal RNAAT: 26/2024 • Fully licensed and insured, registered with Turismo de Portugal • “Clean & Safe” certified Private tours available for up to: – 4 passengers in a Mercedes E-Class sedan – 8 passengers in a Mercedes Vito van (additional fee applies) For larger groups than 8 requiring a minibus, feel free to reach out for availability and a custom quote.

I’m a Danish guide based in Lisbon, where I’ve been living since the summer of 2024. I love traveling, exploring the Lisbon area, and sharing the places, flavors, and stories that make this region special. My tours are made in either English, Danish or Norwegian in Lisbon, Cascais and Almada. I design guided experiences that combine culture, food, coastal walks, and local life. With interests ranging from sport and culture to relaxed social moments and great experiences, my tours are all about enjoying Portugal in an authentic and easy-going way.
