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.
