LISBON AND SINTRA

Have you ever thought about visiting Lisbon, the capital of Portugal? Are you looking for an English speaking tour guide to escort you during your tour? Look no further.

I’ve been holidaying and guiding in Lisbon and Portugal for 12 years therefore, I have exceptional knowledge of Lisbon along with the history, heritage and culture of Portugal. I’m available throughout the year for one day tours of Lisbon along with extended tours of Greater Lisbon and beyond.

Three full days touring magical, picturesque Sintra and the fairy-tale Pena Palace.
