My tours are designed for those who enjoy a relaxed pace and are eager to discuss and learn about: - Culture - History - Art - Languages If you prefer to be rushed from point A to B or your primary goal is to create content for your Instagram stories, I kindly and respectfully suggest considering a tour with someone else. I'm an Italian writer based in Lisbon since 2017, and I hold a commercial license with the National Portugal Tourism Entity to conduct walking tours. I particularly enjoy guiding tours for fellow writers, artists, and anyone who is curious, open-minded, and open to inner and outer discoveries.

The main theme of this tour is Portugal and its intricate relationship with the Orient. We will start at the homonymous museum, and our walk will take us partially along the river, with stops at MAAT and the Electricity Museum.

Upon reaching the Belém neighborhood, the subject will also include the Portuguese government, some of its most significant royal personalities, and how the area's layout has evolved throughout the centuries.
