Walking tours of Tomar and audio guides of Porto, Lisbon, Faro, Lagos and Fatima
Hi, I’m Mark — actor, storyteller, history obsessive, and your guide to the real Portugal.
I don’t do tick-box tours or Wikipedia-on-legs history. I take curious travellers into the stories, legends, food, and hidden corners that most visitors walk straight past — the Portugal locals know, argue about, and laugh over.
My tours cover Tomar, Lagos, Almada, Faro, Fatima and Porto, and they’re built for people who want more than photos: they want context, character, and tales worth retelling back home.
You’ll leave with a genuine understanding of Portuguese culture and history — but more importantly, you’ll have fun. This is your holiday. I respect your time, cut through the fluff, and entertain you with sharp storytelling, strange facts, and very good food along the way.
If you book directly, you’ll save money — and I can put more of it into giving you a better experience.
