Meet the team

Although I’m a law graduate, I feel the happiest driving a tuk-tuk, as I get to be an ambassador of the city’s fascinating history and cultural wealth. My aim is to bring energy, enthusiasm and plenty of stories, while tailoring each tour to be as singular as possible. While bringing to life the idiosyncratic maze of hilly and narrow streets of Lisboa, I get to have the most outstanding of all offices. Come along for the adventure!

Life gave me the skills, and this activity gave me an opportunity to transmit them to anyone that wants to listen to me. Come to dig in Lisboa and learn more about the great history of our city and country.

I don’t just show places—I share Lisbon’s soul: the aromas of hidden taverns where fado can still be heard (don’t worry, I won’t sing!), the colors and patterns of tiles that brighten the city, and the unique energy of every neighborhood. My passion is turning each walk into a story worth remembering.

In the last 3 years I’ve made more than 5,000 satisfied customers 🛺🤩 Lisbon is my home, I fell inspired by its vibrant streets, rich traditions, and unique blend of old and new. My journey as a guide began with a deep curiosity for the stories behind monuments, neighborhoods, and everyday life in this beautiful city. I focus on sharing history in an engaging and authentic way, making each second not just a tour, but an experience of discovery and fun! My tours offer a welcoming and inspiring space for travelers of all backgrounds, helping you not only explore Lisbon but also feel truly connected to its soul. Welcome to Lisbon ❤️

Before ‘retiring’ from corporate at age 36, my professional background was IT, having worked at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and IBM UK. Post-corporate, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience as a language teacher, project manager and co-author of a book on coaching. I believe having a Dream, enthusiasm, faith, focus, perseverance and teamwork are fundamental to achieve one’s goals. Currently, I am learning to become a life mentor. My aim is to positively influence everyone I am fortunate to meet in life. 🙂

I view the world as a vast open-air museum, where every street tells a story and every building hides a secret waiting to be revealed.

I have turned my passion for travel into my daily life. To me, leading a tour isn’t just about pointing out monuments or reciting historical dates; it is about interpreting the soul of a place.

I love traveling because each new culture challenges me to see space and life from a different perspective. Yet, what truly drives me is human connection. I am fascinated by spontaneous conversations, the sharing of viewpoints, and the opportunity to connect people from all walks of life with the places we visit. My main goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere where travelers feel inspired and truly part of the experience.

In short, I design itineraries with the precision of an architectural project and infuse them with the warmth of human interaction, turning every trip into an unforgettable, shared experience.

As an historian I’ve always been interested in the city’s and country’s history and when I started working in tourism I discovered also the joy of telling stories. Being a person of a few interests, I divide my time now between showing Lisboa, reading and outdoors activities.

After years exploring every corner of Lisbon, I’ve discovered that what inspires me most is connecting with people—each visitor brings a new energy, and together we create memorable experiences. My mission is to transform each tour into a journey through time, revealing curiosities, traditions, and secrets that often go unnoticed. My tours aren’t just about seeing Lisbon, but about experiencing Lisbon—its history, culture, and vibrant soul.

Can’t recall, looking back at my life, of a moment that I haven’t been driven towards the realm of historical knowledge. I’ve always been more than passionate about it eventually graduating in that field. I’ve been a tour guide for the past 7 years with a focus into the vast and old history of my new city.

Bodyboarding, trail running, and hiking are some of my favorite activities, and I also have a background in competitive tennis while growing up. Nowadays, I enjoy playing padel regularly. Beyond sports, I have a strong interest in history and reading, which inspire me in different ways. I’m also a big food enthusiast who enjoys trying new flavours and sharing great meals. What I value most, though, are the moments I spend with friends and family, since they are an essential part of my life

My passion is bringing stories to life and making every visitor feel connected to Lisbon and it’s unique vibe.

Ten years ago, when tuk-tuks first appeared in Lisbon, I first encountered the exciting job of tour guide. I discovered how interesting and fun it is to show off my city, telling its history and introducing visitors to the culture, cuisine, music, and daily life of this riverside city.

My name is Filipe and i’m a tour guide in Itookatuktuk tours, a pleasurable task, anchored, (no pun intended), in the same spirit of the portuguese seafarers, and which i hope will please you. I stake my claim: To make tours is required, to live is not required. Cheers!

I’m fluent in English and Spanish, which allows me to share my knowledge with a wide range of visitors. My background is in business, but I always dreamt of doing something different. About three and a half years ago, I made a career change that I’m incredibly glad I did. Now I feel truly fulfilled and can’t wait to show you around my city.

I’m a tuk tuk driver for about seven years, and it’s a pleasure, being able to show the city to all those that came to Lisbon.

For me, a great tour is about more than sightseeing — it’s about having a good time, sharing a few laughs, discovering new places, and creating memories that stay with you long after the journey ends.

Growing up in the heart of Portugal’s capital gave me a natural passion for sharing its stories, traditions, and vibrant atmosphere with visitors from all over the world.

Passionate about History, Literature, Culture, Street art and all the small details that make this city so authentic.

With the ability to be resilient and adapt to new situations, I continue to learn from life and enjoy it always with good vibes and joy!

What began as a hobby became a passion and a mission. To introduce the best and most authentic aspects of my city through a unique, engaging, and personalized experience. To uncover not only the form but also the soul of my homeland.

I enjoy sharing those little great stories that we can read in every building, on every street. Not forgetting, of course, the best gastronomic tips! And if the 15th-century explorers set out from Lisbon to discover the world, now it’s the turn of 21st-century travelers to discover Lisbon!

I love bringing Lisbon’s stories to life as we explore its historic streets, hidden corners, and discover the true soul of this ancient city.
