João is a Lisbon native with a passion for adventure, arts, and finding ways to bring more joy to those around him (and those he's planning trips for!).  As a father of two small kids, he's keen to help families and travellers of all ages balance having loads of fun and relaxing in serious luxury. He's been a Butterfield & Robinson guide since 2017 and loves curating authentic and special experiences throughout the Iberian peninsula. Through his extensive network in Portugal, he’ll connect you with the traditions and talents of the country that few get to experience, whether it's a private concert of traditional music, an intimate foodie experience at a chef's home or a stellar bike route through undiscovered bits of wine country.
