About Tour Guide Alexandra M.
Hi I'm Alexandra. More than 20 years ago I came back to Lisbon after living all my childhood in Switzerland. Contacting other cultures, learning different languages, and traveling abroad made me realize that I wanted to become a full-time explorer. Living in this beautiful country and region made that wish easily come true. Deep knowledge about my city, our history, costumes and culture is mandatory to be a great host, local expert or guide. And I am one. In fact I'm all in one. Guide by profession, local expert by passion and host by empathy. In 2013 I dedicated myself 100% to this calling and still take every traveler with me like if it was family or friends visiting.
Important
I drive a 7-seater minivan that provides a comfortable riding experience for four passengers while having the capacity to accommodate up to six individuals, ideally configured for four adults and two children. For groups of seven or more, it is essential to make appointments in advance to ensure proper transportation arrangements are available. Additionally, if you are traveling with children, please inform me of their ages so we can prepare appropriate safety seats for their comfort and security during the journey.

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.

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!
