Hi there! Nice to meet you

"After living in Denmark, Indonesia and travelling around Europe and Asia, I came back to my beloved hometown Lisbon, Portugal. My passion for history, sociology and travelling made me create a non touristic, personalized, innovative yet traditional guided tour through Lisbon (Baixa, Chiado, Cais do Sodré, Bairro-Alto, Alfama, Belém, Graça, São Bento, Santos, Lapa, Príncipe Real, Estrela, Monsanto) Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais to name a few.

Each one is welcomed and treated according to their own travelling preferences and goals.

You can join my adventurous Portugal travelling experiences on vintage cars as my favourite Beetle, bike or even walking tours, through city streets, beaches, mountains, you name it. Personalize your dream tour and let me know!

For longer stays I can take you to mesmerizing monasteries, churches, enchanted castles, and palaces, whilst introducing you to Portuguese nobility and ancient traditions.

Henrique was amazing. He has great knowledge of all things, there was not a question or topic he could not engage in. He was always curteous and listened to our interests and adjusted his discussion and tour based on that. We learned so much in the short time we spent with him, but most of all felt we made a new friend on our first day. Thank you so much Henrique!! Highly recommend him!!!Awesome Experience!!

Henrique is very knowledgeable, but he doesn’t pepper you with the historical facts, instead, he tells a short story, and if you engage and start asking questions, a beautiful conversation starts. It’s more of a dialog than a one sided lecture. We enjoyed our time with him. We learned Portugal and Lisbon history, talked about literature, life, shared our experiences. He took us around the neighborhoods of Lisbon, like a friend. We recommend hiring Henrique for your Lisbon tour. Thanks Henrique.Friendly and knowlegable guide

We met Henrique during our first full day in Portugal and it was such a great way to kick off our vacation. He was very kind and full of history about Lisbon as a city and Portugal as a country. We really enjoyed exploring the different neighbourhoods with him and asking questions along the way. This is the second With Locals tour we have done with our kids and they note them as highlights of our adventures! We strongly suggest connecting with Henrique if you want a relaxed, engaging and informative tour around Lisbon.Family Exploring Lisbon

We are considering moving to Lisbon and Henrique was very accommodating and took us to neighborhoods he thought we would like to relocate to, which was perfect. It allowed us to see parts of Lisbon we wouldn't have and he was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend him for any future tours.Very knowledgeable

We had the best experience in Lisbon on our tour with Henrique! He was an excellent guide of the city, with an extensive knowledge of both the history of the city and how it has progressed to modern day. Our tour with Henrique really helped us distinguish the different neighborhoods and cultural aspects of the city that make Lisbon so special. We highly recommend booking a tour with Henrique as part of your stay in Lisbon! Wonderful tour of Lisbon with Henrique!

My husband and I toured Lisbon with Henrique. It a great pleasure to learn more about the city and its history and culture. The tour was a very comfortable pace and flowed like water, we enjoyed conversation along the way that was natural and thought provoking. We have been on private tours in many places and Henrique was simply the best. We are grateful for our experience and the time well spent with such a fine human being.Touring Lisbon with a remarkable guide.

Enrique is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and super friendly. We had a 3 hour tour which flew by, we learnt so much. He gave us lots of tips both on the tour and before we arrived, he has an enormous and all encompassing knowledge of Lisbon. Enrique’s English is excellent, he is also very responsive to the needs of the group. I can highly recommend Enrique, he is very professional and engaging, we all felt we had really learnt a lot about Lisbon. Thanks again EnriqueAmazing tour with Henrique
