Hi, I’m André. I was born in Alfama, in Lisbon, and I have been touring Portugal professionally for more than ten years. I love guiding travellers from Hong Kong. Many of them already know a little of Portugal from Macau.
The Portugal behind Macau
If you know Macau, parts of Portugal will feel familiar: the egg tarts, the wave-patterned stone pavements, the blue-and-white azulejo tiles and the street names. In Portugal you see where it all began. We can taste the original pastel de nata in Belém, made there since 1837. We can walk the old streets of Lisbon and Porto, and sip port wine in the cellars where it has aged for centuries.
Private, flexible and relaxed
It’s just you and your group, with your own guide-driver in a comfortable Mercedes-Benz V-Class. We go at your pace, with time for photos and good food. We stay away from the big tour buses whenever we can.
- Food and wine. Taste Lisbon on my Lisbon Food Tour, or travel through the wine regions on Discover Portugal Through Its Wines (6 to 10 days, from €4,517 per group).
- Photo spots. The colourful Pena Palace in Sintra, the Douro’s terraced vineyards and the riverfront of Porto.
- Portugal and Spain. My Portugal and Spain tour goes from Porto to Santiago de Compostela, Salamanca and Madrid in 10 days (from €4,267 per group).
- Your own plan. Tell me what you love, and I’ll design your trip with you.
Good to know before you come
- Time difference. Hong Kong is 8 hours ahead of Portugal in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer.
- WhatsApp. Message me on WhatsApp at any time and I’ll answer you personally.
- When to come. Portugal is lovely all year. Easter, the summer holidays, Christmas and Chinese New Year are all good times for a private trip.
- Prices. Multi-day prices are in euros, per group, with a minimum of 2 people.
- Licensed. Nomadinspiration is a licensed Portuguese tour operator (RNAAT 778/2019).
What our guests from Hong Kong say
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this tour company during our recent trip to Portugal and Spain. From start to finish, everything was beautifully organized according to our preferences, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the rich culture and incredible food of both countries… It’s truly a memorable journey that we will cherish for years to come.”
“We had the most remarkable private tour with André in Lisbon, Porto and Douro Valley. André is super friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable, with a great mix of history, local knowledge, and personal stories to keep our group entertained and engaged throughout… The best tour guide ever!”
