I provide guided tours of Lisbon and surrounding areas in English. I also have contacts for drivers, since I don’t do both. Some of my favorite museums to show are the Ajuda National Palace, Maritime Museum or the Tile Museum in Lisbon. Outside I absolutely love the medieval town of Obidos and also the Batalha Monastery, a lovely gothic construction with lots of beautiful stone lace work and history.
My name is Isabel, 43 years old. Born and bred in Lisbon.
I've been working as a tour guide for the past 11 years. Started at Ajuda National Palace, at the Joana Vasconcelos exhibition back in 2013 and never stopped.
I have a degree in Translation and Interpreting (English and French) and several Post graduate studies, all connected with Tourism, Events or Museology.
My English level is almost native. So much so, that even though I speak a bit of French and Spanish, I don't really use them for work (proficient in both, but not on the level as English), and since I'm a perfectionist, I choose only to work in English.
