Guide profile:
I began working in the tourism field back in 98 and, after my experience as an on site staff for an american travel agency between 99 and 2005, started guiding tours in 2007. I'm a licensed guide who owns a tour company operating throughout Portugal. I provide private transportation with an 8 seater a/c van.
My passion for history and the outdoors along with my communication skills are my best assets. If you're looking for an attentive guide and want to make the most of your time please drop a line.
I offer theme tours in Lisbon and Sintra which can be adapted to the tight schedule of your cruise and longer, tailored tours in Portugal.
Take a look at some of my tours and feel free to ask for an estimate.

Gary B.
My wife and I only had a one-half day to see Lisbon. Joao met us at the airport as planned and, in three hours, we felt as if we had a very good understanding of the city, its main attractions and its role Portuguese history. Joao is very informed and likable. He's easy to talk with and will do whatever necessary and reasonable to please the customer. We are extremely satisfied and highly recommend Joao to anyone that is looking for a first class tour guide.
