Diogo Lino

I was born and raised in Lisbon. Studied History, but always enjoyed working in contact with different people from around the world, so when I finished University I went to Majorca (Spain) to work as an entertainer in Hotels. In that summer I met my wife, she's Italian, so I went to live in Italy, where I continue working in several jobs related to entertainment. In 2013 I moved back to Lisbon to work in tourism always as an entertainer, but became interested in tour guiding, so in 2017 I made 1 year specialization in tour guiding . Since 2020 I'm a certified tour guide.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialized in tour guiding and tour organization, with specials interests in Cultural tourism. I also love being in contact with nature and enjoy beautiful landscapes that we have in Portugal."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I always traveled with my parents and by myself, always loved to know other countries and love cultural differences. After I graduated from University I mainly working with traveling related jobs."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"When I was 14 I traveled with my parents to the USA and loved and was quite impressed with that enormous country, where everything was big and new, compared with my little and old country, Portugal."

Sao Miguel: the town of Furnas, our home base at Terra Nostra, and meanering around the island all magical. Each day brought delights beyond my imagination. Once on the mainland, Coimbra and the Old University and Library brought goose bumps. An amazing octupus lunch in the hills of Nazarene and the intimate Fado experience in Lisbon unique and wonderful.

His historical and present day knowledge of Lisbon and the surrounding areas is astonishing! Our favorite visits included The Azores- truly a magical place! Nazare and the Pangaea Restaurant for the many octopus dishes and the beach town feel. The Peña Palace and surrounding park will never be forgotten. The kind, caring people we met everywhere we went made our trip very special.

The location is like being in someone’s kitchen. It is a tiny spot and little space to move around. The food was good. Mostly like small tasting menu. The singers and musicians were excellent.

My group and I had such an amazing time in Portugal. We visited many places/towns around Lisbon and Porto. We got to see many wonderful local and historical places. The whole experience was memorable including the wine tasting, sunset cruise, and Fado dinner. Diogo very professional, extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and had a great sense of humor.
