Your Guide in Portugal

Meet Gonzo — Your Private Guide in Portugal

Born and raised in Lisbon, I’ve been guiding travellers for over 12 years, with more than 400 private tours in the last eight alone. I’m a professional private tour guide, an active real estate broker and a volunteer fireman — so safety, responsibility and trust are at the center of everything I do.

My background is anything but ordinary: from actor on Portuguese TV and jewellery trader across Europe to full-time host for travellers from cities like New York, Boston, Miami, Chicago, Washington DC, LA and Philadelphia. I love great food, authentic neighbourhoods and creating the kind of experiences you simply don’t get on big group tours.

If you’re not looking for a boring guide or a history teacher with a script, you’ll feel at home with me. My private tours are designed for curious couples, friends and corporate groups who want to really experience Portuguese culture — comfortably, at their own pace, with a local who actually lives it.
