Hello! My name is Marco, I am from Portugal and I have been a Tour Guide/Tour Driver since 2018.I started my journey in 2014 when I decided that I wanted to have a college degree, and because I am born and bread Douro Valley I thought that the best idea would be starting to learn a little bit more about tourism, so I went to College and took a Tourism Management degree in my hometown Lamego.Then I decided to go to Lisbon, tried my luck and between 2018 and 2020 I was a national tour guide, travelling from North to South, guiding tourists throughout my beautiful country.

I lived in Lisbon for 5 years, but then "saudade" (the feeling of longing something or someone) got the best of me and me and my family decided to go back to my hometown and give our kids a chance to grow outside of the city but with nature, healthier food and better life conditions than in the city of Lisbon, and that was the best we could have done, we are more than happy here and we love to be hereI love to drive, I love to explain the foundation of our country to someone that is visiting our country. 

I think that what makes me love my job is the fact that me, as a local born and bread Douro Valley tour guide is the fact that I can get in touch with the locals and also know those little known spots that can show what indeed the inner Portugal is like.I love those untouched spots that are not filled with tourists so that I can show our visitors the true Portuguese soul and that will be one of my main goals.Because I am also from the Douro Valley I love wine, one of the main exports of our region, and I would love to show this to anyone that wants to see and experience for themselves.For me my family is my center, I love them and I love to see my kids grow healthy and with happiness.For me, to show my country to visitors is a dream come true and I will continue to love this forever

As a tour guide i am able to help with transportation and guiding services, but i am also a Travel Specialist, so i am able to help with also Hotels, and a full package, along with experiences and multi day tours.
