About
The recent pandemic, universal and undeniable, made us all stop and look within: within ourselves, our goals in life, our streets, our country. A country is much more than its big cities. Tourism can be much more than gentrification and mass occupation of the public space. To offer Portugal to our visitors doesn't have to mean to lose it ourselves. From two different hearts in love with this country, a common path was drawn: to show Portugal through its culture, traditions, people. From North to South, from the countryside to the coast, creating stories from its history. We want to share the story of who we are, seen through the eyes of our own people. We want to share with you what makes us unique, what makes us memorable, what makes us Portuguese. We want to experience the real Portugal. We are the travel agency for curious travellers that want to go deeper in exploring Portugal. We offer the roots behind the routes - not just another tour company but one made to discover the genuine Portugal beyond the postcards. We plan and develop every experience to be unique, surprising, delicious, unforgettable. We create cultural and historical tours with local amazing guides. Come along - where there's a tale, there's a way - we will show you that way.

"Just perfect! If you want to learn more about Lisboa, Rita is your perfect guide! It was so amazing to discover the city with her. A perfect mix of history, local tips and wonderful places, which I wound't have found without her. Thank you so much Rita for all the tips & information."

"I just finished my trip to Portugal with Rita. She was very informative and presented a great mix of history, folklore, and modern fun-facts. Lisbon itself was amazing, but it was Rita’ incredible knowledge of her country, along with her kindness and sense of humour that made this trip an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend Rita as a local guide to anyone going to Lisbon You might think that you can do the research and tour about on your own, but you’d be missing the feel of Lisbon , its stories and lore. You’d also miss out on what it means to be Portuguese – Rita personifies this. Thank you for everything Rita! I had such a wonderful time thanks to you! I’ve completely fallen in love with Lisbon and its beauties — I will be back!"

"We loved this entire tour! Rita was an incredible guide through the streets of Lisbon and took us not only to some amazing restaurants but to many historical sites. She had a ton of amazing knowledge on Portuguese history and Portuguese culinary history and was exceptionally friendly and entertaining. I couldn’t recommend this experience more!"

"Lisbon from the heart!!! Rita - The Guide (as she's fondly called) literally walked us through 3000 years of history sprinkled with memorable anecdotes. That alone convinced us to trust her with the Alfama tour later on skipping the Belém tour that we had planned. Rita's unfaltering enthusiasm and knowledge made even the intermittent showers bearable and didn't allow the weather dampen our spirits even for a slightest bit. P.S. This bis trip includes tips, secrets, recommendations and pleasant surprises."

"Great tour, smart and knowledgeable guide Joao made my time in Porto fun, even on a rainy day. I got up that morning thinking what could I possibly do in Porto a rainy and dreary day. But Joao was willing to lead our small group despite the rain. I really appreciated his efforts and had a great time walking around the city; seeing beautiful things and leaning something new. Thank you Joao!"
