Edgar Miguel Rodrigues

Hi everyone!

I was born in Lisbon, 1984. I am part of a countryside family, experienced in traditions such like Agriculture, Grazing and Horses, in fact, my grandfather was a Baron's farm caretaker in the monarchy time!

My passion for heritage and history began as kid, when travelling along with my father who graduated in technical engineering and still is in charge of renovating historic buildings. Thus I fell in love with the wonderful country, with such vivid colours and unique heritage as well as the dearest and welcoming people.

I finished my graduation in Tourism, Lisbon University – Heritage and Culture of Portugal and post graduated as Official Tour Guide in 2006, speaking english, spanish and german.

I've been working as “Tour Guide” since then not only Portugal, but also Spain, North Africa, and Ireland! I have a deep knowledge of Portuguese culture, traditions, gastronomy, history and nature… leaving people with the wish to return. I absolutely love what I do, showing other people that "good things come in small packages" which means that although Portugal is a small country, it has so much to offer, like fantasy palaces, beautiful plains and wood forests on high mountains, medieval castles and monasteries, amazing wildlife and nautical traditions... and excellent wines!!

My hobbies: Tennis (Playing in the Portuguese Federation of Tennis). Kite. Hiking. Farming.
