About Renato

Write a review
I was born and raised in Sintra, Portugal. My great passions are my hometown, driving and exploring new places. When I was younger, I worked as a flight attendant for three years and this experience motivated me to start a business of my own in the tourism industry, which has brought me infinite possibilities. I love to meet new people and show them the best of Portugal. Besides tourism, I love cars and everything that comes with them. When I can, I like to take a couple of hours every day to walk by myself and discover new places to show to my clients, like mysterious caves or amazing viewpoints. My promise to every single person that wants to travel with me is that I will bring you all my knowledge and experience, helping you have great moments while you wander in my wonders!

Renato's Expertise

I own a licensed tourism agency based in Sintra and Ericeira that provides a wide variety of services with one common purpose: to offer our customers unforgettable moments and the best experience possible. I offer lots of fun through different, unique solutions for your vacations. This might be a tour to the most beautiful regions of Portugal, discovering our wonderful beaches, a jeep adventure through the mountains, a safari jeep experience into the wild or an exploration from north to south!

Renato's Best Travel Experience

When I was 28, I had the ultimate great travel experience. For three months, I travelled around the world and visited all the continents. I met tons of different people and experienced so many unique cultures. This once-in-a-lifetime experience brought me a lot of knowledge and happiness. I'd be happy to share more with you and tell you all my stories, just ask!

Why is Renato the right travel expert

As a travel expert, my first promise is to ensure a unique, authentic experience. I strive to make visitors feel like real locals by showing them not just all the beautiful places that my hometown offers, but also by taking them off the beaten path through forgotten places, providing a much better experience. I'm dedicated to using my knowledge and experience to help you have a really memorable trip.
