Our Story

Portugal, Seen Through
Different Eyes

Portugal Tours Your Way was built on a single conviction: that the best travel experiences are never off the shelf. They are personal, flexible, and shaped entirely by the people taking them.

Our Mission

Redefining What a Private Tour Can Be

We started Portugal Tours Your Way with a clear purpose: to cut through the noise of mass tourism and offer something genuinely different. No group buses. No fixed itineraries. No compromises. Just you, your group, and a Portugal that fits exactly around your pace and interests.

Our model is built on direct, personal communication. Every enquiry is answered personally. Every itinerary is designed from scratch. Every transfer is arranged around your schedule, not ours. From the moment you first message us to the moment your journey ends, you deal with people who care about the result — not a booking engine.

We operate exclusively across mainland Portugal — because depth of knowledge matters more to us than breadth of coverage. When we take you somewhere, we know it well enough to show you the version of it that most visitors never see.

Amir — Founder and CEO of Portugal Tours Your Way

Amir

Founder & CEO

English Português Electrical Engineer
Meet the Founder

A Different Kind of Tour Operator

Originally from Iran and now deeply rooted in the rhythm of Portuguese life, Amir brings a perspective to tourism that is genuinely rare. He sees Portugal through the eyes of someone who chose it — who learned its language, explored its hidden roads, built relationships with its people, and came to understand it in a way that goes far beyond any guidebook.

With a background in Electrical Engineering, Amir's approach to travel is both analytical and deeply human. He believes that artificial intelligence and data-driven insight have a transformative role to play in how people discover the world — not to replace the personal touch, but to sharpen it. Every recommendation, every route, every itinerary he designs is informed by that intersection of technology and lived experience.

"Portugal gave me everything I was looking for. My mission now is to help others find exactly what they're looking for in it — whatever that may be."

His fluency in both English and Portuguese means nothing is lost in translation — not a location name, not a local custom, not a moment of genuine connection with the country. Portugal Tours Your Way is Amir's ongoing effort to prove that the most memorable travel experiences are always, without exception, the ones built entirely around you.


What We Believe

The Principles Behind Every Journey We Design

Radical Personalisation

Your itinerary is yours alone. We don't recycle trips — we build each one from the ground up around your dates, your group, your passions, and your pace.

Deep Local Knowledge

We know Portugal's lesser-known corners as well as its famous ones. The viewpoints locals use, the restaurants worth the detour, the timing that changes everything.

AI-Enhanced Planning

We embrace technology as a tool for better service — using AI-driven insights to anticipate your needs, optimise routes, and recommend experiences matched precisely to you.

Honest, Human Service

We communicate directly — no call centres, no automated replies. When you message us, a real person responds. When something changes, we tell you immediately.

Experience Partner

Fly with Behrooz — Tandem Paragliding over Sesimbra

For guests who want to experience Portugal from an entirely different angle, we are proud to partner with Fly with Behrooz — one of Portugal's most respected paragliding instructors and local competition pilots, based in Sesimbra, just 30 minutes south of Lisbon Airport.

Behrooz brings over 15 years of flying experience and more than 2,500 logged flight hours across Portugal's finest coastal and inland sites — from the dramatic Atlantic cliffs of Arrábida and Cabo Espichel to the thermal-rich inland regions of Andalusia. His deep knowledge of the local microclimate (Sesimbra is consistently drier and warmer than Lisbon, with more flyable days per year) means guests can genuinely count on the experience.

Through our partnership, guests of Portugal Tours Your Way can add a private tandem paragliding flight to their itinerary — soaring above the turquoise waters of Sesimbra Bay and the golden cliffs of the Arrábida Natural Park with a pilot who knows every thermal and every current of this coastline.
