Rita Bernardo
I was born in Cascais, near Lisbon, but grew up exploring Portugal and Spain intensively, which made me extremely passionate about roadtrips and getting to visit different places at my own pace and in a flexible manner. And, from there, I have never stopped. From roadtrips, to train travel or even airplane. I believe each travel experience to be unique, as we are making memories for the future, brooding our perspective, learning about new histories and cultures. Which is why custom and tailor-made experiences make perfect sense when we speak of enhancing a trip and why the individual's own input is key.
As a local specialist, I am here to place my knowledge of the destination at the client's service to match their interests and expectations and leave them with fond memories of their Portugal trip.

"Portugal and Spain, cultural tours, gastronomy tours, self-guided tours"
How did you get involved in travel?
"As a journalist, I specialized in tourism and travel areas which gave me a glimpse and led me to a world of discovering new places, territories and cultures and helping other doing the same by putting together unforgettable experiences."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"It goes from hiking in the marvelous trails Gerês and Picos de Europa National Parks to crossing Austria by train during the Christmas market season and experiencing the magic of a true winter wonderland."
