Escorted Shore Excursions & Private Guided Tours
The perfect Choice for Savvy Cruisers and Independent Travelers

Here I am schmoozing with Entertainment Director for Cunard Line, Alastair Greener, at the Lisbon dock on 12 October 2010. A good time was being enjoyed by all, I was assured, on this the new Queen Elizabeth liner, the latest addition to the Cunard. Happy sailing on her maiden voyage! Check wearecunard.com/
Let me help you create a wonderful visit to Portugal, Lisbon and surrounding area that you will remember for Years to Come!
Don't book a land tour through your cruise ship before you find out what I have to offer - you will be pleasantly surprised!
Go where other cruisers and your fellow passengers just don't! Email me for more information.
The very best tour can make your eyes glaze over if you aren't really interested in what you are seeing.
But, I've been doing tours and shore excursions long enough to know what makes a perfect port call tour or guided visit.
- A tour that is conducted at your own pace;
- A shore excursion that visits the sights that interest you and your family in particular;
- A guide that you really understand. I am a Brit so no worries there;
- Excursions that work best with your port times - I have never missed a boat yet and I don't intend to! Your time in Lisbon matters to me.
- A great tour day that gives you the freedom to adjust things on the go.
Informative & Fun Private Shore Tour EXCURSIONS in and around Lisbon
I create tour programs for you that will be tailored to fit the schedule of your dock timetable and also suited to your personal preferences.
More importantly, all my shore excursions and private guided tours are just that - 100% private - absolutely no sharing with other tourists, so that you and your family or friends get my complete and undivided attention. Whether it is your first time cruising or you are an old sea dog, your first visit to Lisbon or returning to Portugal, you want to be on one of my tours.
I am your personal host for the day and yours alone plus I bring along your very own private "chauffeur/s" for the day.
-
My excursions suit individual travelers and small private groups of 2 to 3 tour guests in our luxury air-conditoned SUV.
-
Groups or larger families of 4 to 8 tour guests with our trusted driver/guide in her air-conditoned mini van.
-
For large groups of up to 22 we have a comfortable air-conditoned small coach that takes you to places the large buses can't.
How to get the Most out of your Tour DAY with Me
- Let me know where you are from!
This helps with the time difference when I do the replies.
- Send me your contact phone number or skype name.
This way I can bounce ideas with you for planning the day.
It is always an added extra to speak directly to the actual tour guide who will show you round. It's even better for me as I can explain exactly what I think will make your tour hit the right spot for you.
What next to BOOK your great Tour?
Please, please also include your phone number and double check the spelling of you email address plus if you have a skype contact send it too. This way if you get something wrong I can alway give you a quick call.

A cataplana is a copper pan made of two clam shells that can be sealed with a clamp. The origins of this cooking contraption are lost in time. In the early 20th centuries Portuguese hunters carried cataplanas loaded with onions and tomatoes, so they could cook game on a wood fire. Later, in...

My husband found this great video shot in Lisbon this morning. It just encapsulates the Portuguese idea of Saudade or longing, the linchpin of Fado music. Having lived here in my adopted home port of Lisbon I find this concept affecting me also - it is in the air.
