About My Lisbon Holidays
A small Lisbon studio with a simple belief: the best way to see Portugal is not as a tourist, but as a local, guided by people who live here and design every journey by hand.
We are a boutique Portuguese tour operator and destination management company, based in Lisbon, and small by choice. We design private, fully tailor-made journeys across mainland Portugal and the islands, and we run them ourselves, on the ground. It means you deal with the person who designs your trip, not a call centre, and that every detail is ours to get right.
We've always believed travel should be the opposite of mass tourism. No rigid coaches, no fixed schedules, no one-size-fits-all, just the freedom to choose what, when and how, with our full attention behind you. Whether you're eighteen or ninety, after a quiet cultural trip or an outdoor adventure, the goal is the same: to turn a holiday into a real discovery, and to leave you feeling a little more Lisboeta than when you arrived.
The way we like to travel
Personal, never packaged
Every journey is designed from a blank page, around you. We don't sell shelves of tours. We craft one trip, and it's yours.
Local to the core
We live here. Our knowledge, our guides and our addresses are our own: the difference between seeing Portugal and truly knowing it.
Freedom with full attention
You choose the what, when and how; we handle everything behind the scenes, so the only thing left to do is enjoy it.
Care for the places we share
As a Travelife Partner, we design with a light footprint and a long view, so the Portugal you love stays that way.
As a Travelife Partner, we're committed to sustainable, responsible tourism: we design every journey with a light footprint and a long view, and follow the Travelife standards in how we treat the places, people and landscapes we share. So the Portugal you fall for stays that way. Read our sustainability policy →
A small team, on purpose
We've stayed small deliberately. You work directly with the travel designer who plans your trip: one person who knows your journey inside out, from the first idea to the final goodbye.
Here, and out across Portugal
We're not a booking site or a faceless agency. We're a local team, here in Lisbon and out across the country, looking after every detail in person, so nothing falls through the cracks.
The three of us
Three Lisboetas, born and raised, happiest in the water or out on the road, and never happier than when showing people the Portugal we grew up in.
Credentials worth having

Every one of us is a native. We know this country as intimately as our own home, from the famous sights to the corners only locals ever find.

Questions, answered
Where are you based?
In Lisbon, and out across Portugal, which we know inside out, from the Douro to the Algarve and the islands.
Are you a licensed travel operator?
Yes. We're a fully licensed Portuguese tour operator and DMC, and your trip is planned and run by an accountable local company, not an unregulated reseller.
What does being a Travelife Partner mean?
Travelife is the leading international sustainability scheme for the travel industry. As a Travelife Partner, we're committed to its criteria (caring for the places, people and environments we work with, and lightening our footprint), and we report on our progress.
Do you only arrange trips in Lisbon?
Not at all. Lisbon is home, but we design journeys across all of mainland Portugal, the Azores and Madeira.
How big is your team?
Small, and proud of it. Staying boutique is exactly what lets us give every traveller our full, personal attention, from the first idea to the final goodbye.
Let's design something together
There's no cost and no obligation in the first conversation, only the beginning of a journey we'll shape around you. Tell us a little, and your travel designer will be in touch.
