Hi there! Nice to meet you

I'm a Sports Science Bachelor with a passion for languages and animals and a curiosity for all things funny or weird.

I've studied in Poland and Croatia, and I've worked in Ireland.

I've hitchhiked and couch surfed my way from Poland to Greece, and from Lisbon to Barcelona.

I know at least one word in 40 different languages, feel free to test me.

I am usually accompanied by a trained dog-guide named

Poznań. Make sure to let me know if you'd like her to come with us.

Me and my brother enjoyed the tour, Rodrigo knows everything about Lisbon! He has so much knowledge it’s amazing, and he patiently answered all of our questions. The walk was inspiring. Would definitely recommend joining a tour with him (and the gorgeous Poznan the dog!). Wonderful

I traveled solo for my first trip to Lisbon. Rodrigo was the perfect choice for a tour guide. He knows literally everything about the city and its rich history and is friendly and funny. Rodrigo was also very flexible and able to show me areas and shops that met my interests. And, his little sidekick, Poznan, is the perfect ambassador for the city. Her tail never stops wagging she greeted everyone with excitement. It was a great tour and I cannot recommend Rodrigo highly enough for solo travelers, families with children or groups. Great fun in Lisbon!

Rodrigo is a pleasant, relaxed guide. He speaks fluent English, has humor and knows a lot to tell about the sights. Also a lot of nice information about the history but also about the present. Gives good tips for further activities.Nice experience with group of 10 people

We have never done a tour with Withlocals before so maybe expectations were too high. We were redirected to 6 guides before the final one was settled on which was strange. The food and wine were very, very small portions - you would need to eat before or after this tour. The walk around was interesting.Hmmm

Rodrigo was our guide and was fantastic. He spoke tons of languages but we opted for English. He was accommodating to any dietary requests and had a well planned tasting tour. This tour starts at the top of the hill and you work your way down. Plenty of options to choose from with local Portuguese tastes. Spectacular.Great time

Rodrigo created an environment for us that weaved stories in to the food of the city. We ate well and talked for three hours. We tried dishes we never would have known to try and Rodrigo picked the spots based on our party’s ability to walk and move around the city. This personal touch made the experience an amazing one. Rodrigo’s unique perspective and knowledge of history were a huge part of making this tour so wonderful. Conversation as Great as the Food

An excellent 3+ hours filled with good food, drink & craic! Everything was super tasty with highlights being the amazing gelato & obvs the nata! We defo didn’t leave hungry! Rodrigo went above & beyond to make sure my hubby’s food allergy was catered for, tailoring what and where we ate. Poznan was the perfect dining companion - pls can we send our dogs across for training! I ❤️ Poznan 🐶

Rodrigo was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to show us all the wonderful food and drinks that Lisboa has to offer! 5 stars! From authentic sardines, cod cakes, to visiting the oldest operating book store in the WORLD, and SO much more, we had a wonderful time. Rodrigo is extremely knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed. The conversation was flowing and he was an amazing guide. Absolutely recommend!! Amazing food/drink,even better guide!
