Rita Almeida, Sintra tour guide and language coach based in Portugal
Rita Almeida
Sintra guide · University of Évora

Hi, I'm Rita — a tour guide from Sintra, Portugal. I was born and raised here and I'm passionate about sharing the language, culture, and beauty of my country. I studied at the University of Évora and speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish — and I'm currently learning Italian. In addition to guiding, I teach Portuguese, Spanish, and English to people from all over the world. I love meeting new people, exchanging stories, and creating meaningful, relaxed experiences.

"We had the pleasure of visiting Sintra with Rita — it wasn't just a tour, it was an experience. Her energy and passion for Portugal were contagious. Part historian, part stand-up comic, 100% passionate about Portugal. And if you're lucky enough to tour with her, ask for the best pork sandwich in Portugal — life-changing!"
