THE TOUR WE WISH WE’D HAD

This is a personalized and private sightseeing tour

How many different ways are there to explore Portugal?

We believe there are several possible ways to get to know Portugal and one of them is surely by doing a sightseeing tour. Portugal is a small country but beauty can be found from North to South, and that’s why we run sightseeing tours in most of the Portuguese territory.

In our tours, we talk about the architecture and history of each region, using storytelling to enable a complete cultural and historical immersion.

Our private tours are suitable for couples, families, and large groups. Prices vary according to the location, number of people, days of tour, and season of the year. Our tours are tailored to every group thanks to Filipa’s extensive knowledge of Portugal. Every tour is designed by her according to our clients’ tastes, budget, and timings.

MEET OUR TEAM

Hi! I’m Filipa

Tour Guide - Portugal

  • I was born in Évora, a UNESCO heritage city since 1986, and I graduated in Law in Lisbon.

  • Through the many trips I took, I soon realized how fond I am of Lisbon and Portugal. Hence, I decided to make tourism and tourist entertainment my profession because I understand that in this way those who visit Portugal can get to know our country, our culture, and our history much better.

  • I've been a tour guide for over 7 years, and I love being able to show you pieces of my beautiful country, providing unforgettable experiences, alongside my team of guides.

  • I believe that we evolve when we walk together and that the experience of visiting a country with a local person shows the true essence of a nation and not just the touristic side.

  • I believe in interpersonal relationships as a point of differentiation in the experience that visitors keep from their trip.
