Nádia Coelho
Founder · Experience Curator
I'm Nádia Coelho, born and raised in Lisbon, and I don't do basic tours. Why? Because Portugal deserves more than the usual clichés and crowded spots. I create experiences that stick with you — the kind that make you see this country differently, beyond the postcards.
Since 2015, I've been turning walks into adventures. Psychology taught me how to connect, travel showed me the joy of discovery, and Sintra? Sintra taught me to get lost (on purpose).
One of my favorite moments? When people discover a hidden spot or hear a story that's not in the usual guidebooks. That's what makes every tour special. I keep things small, skip the boring scripts, and focus on real connections.
If you're looking for something generic, I might not be the right fit — but if you want something personal, flexible, and full of heart, welcome.
António "Tó" Cardoso
Big Wave Surfer · HBO 100 Foot Wave Jet Ski Driver
António "Tó" Cardoso was born and raised in Nazaré, Portugal. He started his big wave career as a European Champion on the bodyboard world tour, winning the Nazare Grand Slam Series right in his backyard. He was quickly recruited to drive jet skis for HBO's 100 Foot Wave documentary team due to his unparalleled expertise in reading the waves at Nazaré. His safe and expert driving was the key factor in HBO winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography in a documentary.
Tó's success led to his recruitment for the big wave surf team "Mountains of The Sea" started by Nic Von Rupp. Within 3 months of forming they won the WSL Big Wave Championship at Nazare in 2025.
Tó is a humble, deeply empathetic human being. His superpower is reading people on the spot, allowing him to determine how far he can push them past their limits.
João Allen
Skateboarder · Creative Explorer · Lisbon Street Style Icon
João Allen is a standout skateboarder from Lisbon, known for his fearless style, street-wise creativity, and love for rolling where others don't dare. He's become one of Portugal's most respected street skaters, carving lines through the city's rugged plazas, cobblestones, and hidden concrete landscapes with effortless style and determination.
Growing up skating in Lisbon — especially around iconic spots like Praça da Figueira — João learned early on how to make even the roughest surfaces look smooth and exciting. He doesn't chase the easy spots; he seeks out challenges, finding beauty in the imperfect, the rough, and the overlooked.
When he's not on his board, João also finds time for snowboarding, long city explorations, and sharing his city with others — including guiding tours through Lisbon's streets on a tuk‑tuk because he genuinely loves showing visitors the real heart of his hometown.
