About Tour Guide Raquel R.
Hello, my name is Raquel, and I am privileged to offer private walking tours in Portugal. I deeply value the opportunity to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds, as it provides me with invaluable learning experiences. My passion for Portugal knows no bounds, and I genuinely enjoy sharing the wonders of my country with others.
Tours
Fátima Pilgrimage: Shrine, Sacred Path, and Scenic Rail Expedition
Join a guided journey to apparition sites, the shepherd children's home, and the basilica cradling their tombs. Explore spots touched by the Angel of Peace. Light candles, collect blessed water, and traverse the Way of the Cross, stations IX to XV, echoing the children's path. Embark on a scenic train tour, uncovering their baptismal church and enjoying panoramic region views.
Essence of the City: Lisbon in Half a Day
Explore with me the unique heartbeat of Lisbon, a city that has intertwined with my journey since childhood. During this tour, I will guide you through the essential landmarks of the historic centre, from the iconic Largo do Carmo—bearing witness to the conclusion of Portugal's dictatorship—to the lively Chiado district. Discover the best viewpoints and photographic spots as we navigate through shortcuts known only to locals, bypassing strenuous climbs.
Sintra's Walking Tour: Regaleira and Biester Palace
The experience begins at the stunning 19th-century masterpiece, Biester Palace, surrounded by lush gardens. Next, we'll explore Quinta da Regaleira, a true icon of romantic architecture, filled with esoteric symbolism and mystery. We will complement our tour with a tasting of a delicious regional sweet.
Setúbal: Private Walking Tour
Embark on walking adventure through Setúbal, guided by a proud local. This private tour offers an authentic and genuine experience away from the crowds of Lisbon in the tranquility of a riverside city. Discover a canning factory museum, soak in wonderful views, and explore the Fisherman's Market, hailed as one of the world's best by USA Today. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Setúbal, where every step unveils a piece of genuine local life.
Évora: Christian Heritage Private Walking Tour
Explore Évora's Christian legacy—each church a chapter in its spiritual tale. From echoes of Christian Romans to Jesuit presence, our tour unveils layers of faith. Traverse Holy Ghost Church, St. Francis Church, the Chapel of Bones, and more, discovering profound Christian heritage and glimpses of the St. James Path. Join us in this living testament to Évora's deeply rooted Christian past.

“ Excelente tour personalizado ”
Raquel nos brindó un excelente tour, adaptado a las necesidades de toda mi familia. Interactuó mucho con mis hijos de 7 y 10 años, y adaptó el recorrido para mis papás que tienen 80 años y alguna restricción de movilidad. Raquel es muy conocedora de la historia y nos pareció una tremenda experiencia para conocer la historia de la virgen de Fátima. Gracias Raquel!
