Leonor

“Leonor was an excellent guide — well informed and enjoyable. I enjoyed the whole tour as a result of the organization and information provided. She and Txabi were most helpful in meeting the individual needs of the various participants.”

“Maybe I was a bit crazy then” is the only reason she can think of why she started guiding but nowadays with 25 years of experience as an official guide in Portugal, Leonor still thinks that there is still much of her country to be known so that is why she enjoys doing research and finding new places and people. She shares all her knowledge and insight with travellers with a fine sense of humour and avoiding falling into topics and stereotypes; when asked for her favourite site her reply is: “Alcobaça; it is real, not decorated or made up. You can feel the spirit of the construction”. Like her guiding.

Leonor Sousa has over 20 years experience as a guide after completing her tourism studies in her home city of Lisbon. In addition to her own country, she has also worked in France and Spain. She is fluent in four languages. Her enthusiasm and great sense of humor make her an excellent host for travelers to her homeland. Naturally, she guides our Portugal Discoveries Tour.
