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.

My wife and I booked a trip with Joao (John) for Sintra and Cascais and although the weather wasn't perfect (Rainy), the tour was outstanding. The attention to details was what made this experience, if we wanted more time here, we took more time here, if we wanted a cool seafood local restaurant, we were at a local place that made us feel like we were experiencing the real Cascals. John was very detailed oriented with things that we were interested in...just amazing!! the tour locations were bucket list item! Looking forward to our next tour when we return. Obrigado (Thank you) I learned that too Ed

My two friends and I loved our tour to Sintra and Cascais and agree that we would not have wanted to do it any other way. To be able to relax and not worry about the details of travel and traffic and tickets and lines was well worth the money spent. Our guide Paulo was amazing. Fluent in English and a true native to the area, he had many gems of information to share with us. He was kind and patient and had such a terrific sense of humor. He gave us a personalized tour of the castle and palace, weaving us through crowded areas and adding tidbits of information every step of the way. After Sintra we were starving so Paulo made an adjustment to the itinerary and made a stop in a small town at a charming local restaurant where we had a fabulous authentic Portuguese lunch. We can't say enough good things about this tour.

Our trip to Sintra and Cascais was great. The guide who took us there was very knowledgable, very fluent in English and friendly. The transport was comfortable and clean. The tour to the Pena Palace was great and was not rushed at all. We also took a leisurely walk in Cascais soaking in the local atmosphere with an well deserved ice cream stop. A must do tour!
