Pedro Luis
Hello everyone :)
Every single time I have the opportunity to travel, my goal is to fully experience the destination. I truly believe that the essence, the context & the materialization are the key factores to fully unveil an incredible and memorable travel experience.
- As a local and travel expert, I know the essence of each destination.
- By experiencing/knowing the essence of each place/destination, I know the context in which they flow.
- Due to the relationship I have built with local suppliers over the years I know exactly how to materialize the essence in the right context.
This is me - I care, so you can travel carefree!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Places: Portugal Mainland; Portuguese Islands (Açores & Madeira); Mainland Spain; Spanish Islands.
Activities: Walking Tours; Winery Visits & Tastings; Boat Trips; Hikes; Hot Air Ballooning; Thematic Dinners/Meals; Self-Drive Trips; Private Driver Trips; Exclusive Activities; among others"
How did you get involved in travel?
"I was born and raised in Sintra and since I was then I won the taste for traveling and exploring the world. By the time I reached 18, I decided that I wanted to assist others with their trips and enrolled in Tourism Degree to acquire not only skills, but also the knowledge needed to achieve my goals within this work field. Since then, I never stopped doing what I love and now, more than ever, I am really happy for sharing my experience with travelers through my own company."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Memorable experiences are the ones that change the way you see the world! They´re funny, they´re frightening and they´re fascinating.
Something that is still remarkable in my life, dates back to a few years ago when I applied to volunteer program to help other people. I realized that you don´t need that much to help people around you. Having that in mind, I try the best I can to share this idea with people around me.
Tourism is a business from people to people and it will only make sense if you care about the others."

The KimKim team, especially Pedro, made our trip to Portugal smooth, exciting, and fulfilling. We especially loved our walking tour guide in Porto (Bernardo - amazing) and our drivers (Miguel from Lisbon to Sintra + Porto & Pedro to the Douro Valley). Every location we saw was wonderful for its own reasons. Thank you for organizing a great trip with our group and making adjustments when we asked!
