Hi there! My name is Andoni. I am an official tour guide and professor of Geography and History. I have been guiding travelers from all over the world since 2013. I have worked in different cities in Europe, such as Madrid, Dublin, Lisbon, and now Valencia. In all these years, I have guided more than 50,000 people! For me, guiding is more than a job: it is my passion! Something that you will discover from minute one of the tour.
Together we are going to get to know the most important authors of the Lisbon and Portuguese letters: Saramago, Pessoa, Camões and Eça de Queiroz, among others. In addition, we will also know the stories and adventures of great foreign authors who passed through these lands, such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Lord Byron or Hans Christian Andersen. We will discover several old literary cafes, and of course, we will also know some of the most emblematic bookstores in the city, in fact ... Did you know that in Lisbon there is the oldest bookstore in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records? And all this with many anecdotes, joy, good humor and salt shaker.
