A German born in Portugal, I was raised in England, Spain and Germany before coming back to Portugal, my adopted country. Working in finance for 20 years allowed me to visit most of Portugal, and decide I wanted to live out my passion: travel. Passionate about the road and eager for new experiences and encounters, I like to get lost in a new place and find my way by making new friends and getting to know their culture. As I wanted to share my excitement for travel and discovery of remote places, I started to organise some trips for my friends, family and colleagues, focusing on the important things in life. The decision of changing career came then naturally so I created a little travel company showing the wild and unseen parts of Portugal. With my customized tours and trips, I try to give another image of Portugal, a beautiful and tolerant country opened to languages, cultures and religions, but with a strong identity and history. With my fantastic team of tour guides, I organise and polish up quality tours in Portugal, which focus on nature and culture, always far from crowded touristic paths. During my tours, you will stimulate your senses learning local tips and lifestyles: seeing wildlife, catching wild fish, going to fresh markets, eating in traditional restaurants, making your own jam, enjoying tasting liqueur and learning about its 450 years old recipe, as well as many more exclusive experiences. PS : my tours could also be guided by Paulo or Rodrigo.

On 28 March 2022 my wife Joan and I had the pleasure of joining Joao for a private tour of Lisbon. We had a wonderful and very enlightening tour of lisbon and will recommend him to all of our friends who visit Portugal. Joao- personalble , knowledegeable, gracious and a credit to the Portugal tour industry. We will be returning to Portugal in Oct 2022 and our hoping we will be able to have Joao be our private tour guide for an itenerary that we will discuss and solicit Joao ideas. Again we are very thankful we were able to spend that wonderful day with Joao.
