Tourism for me is, most of all, an opportunitty to connect with the world
A barrier braker between contries and communities, between the Past, the Present & the Future. That say, and as a portuguese touristic agent, I am very passionate about Portugal and the great things this country has to offer! So, regarding this destination, I'm always excited to show and present to our visitors all the tresures that this paradise of the Atlantic as to discover !

How did you get involved in travel?
"My involvement with the Tourism started when I was 20. I discover the Touristic Departement in my College and I became more and more interested in the area. I get my Degree in Tourism, Territory and Patrimonys and from there, I applied from my first work, in The Host Portugal. Although it was yet a breve carrer, my passion for Tourism was set many years ago and since the beggining, it has been an amazing ride !"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Although I didn´t travel allot yet, my most unique travel experience has to be Prague.
I was there to visit a friend set on the Erasmus Program and, boy, do I want to stay forever ! The streets full of life, the Historic Views set on every corner, the smells of typical czech food.. Everithing in there took me in to the Past in the Present
Definitely a place I want to go back !"

The entire trip was perfect from
Start to finish. Our travel agent Caterina was so responsive and really put together a fantastic tour for us. Each of our guides were outstanding- so much knowledge shared with us. The drivers also were superb - we felt very safe traveling both the highways and the narrow streets of Portugal. Our guides Barbara Anjus in Coimbra and Mario Miguel in Lisbon were highlights of our trip along with the Douro Valley and the towns of Braga and Nazare.
Dear Marcia & Rey, thank you so much for your so kind words! It was a true pleasure to work with you both 😊 and i´m really happy to know that you have a blast here in Portugal, and that you felt at home even far from home !
It is with my heart full that I read your feedback and also, the "goodbye" message from Rey. I hope we can meet in person someday and I send you both my best wishes. Please, feel free to reach me whenever you want
With my best regards

Catarina did a phenomenal job from start to finish. She recommended 6 local guides at various cities in our trip and all were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fluent in English.
In addition, all of the restaurant recommendations she made were fantastic and all of the booking was seamless.
We will highly recommend her for anyone visiting Portugal and will use KimKim again for our future trips.
