Tiago Filipe

I've always traveled extensively with my family and from a very early age developed a strong taste for it. Portuguese were once sailors and discoverers and I like to think of myself as one too: a discoverer of people, food, landscapes, cultures and, very often, new friends. This is what I like to experience as a travel, and it is exactly what I try to convey to people traveling with me!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"The whole of Portugal in terms of places and cultural, gastronomic and outdoors activities (where surf plays an important role!)"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I studied in the UK in the year 2000 and got to know a great number of people from different nationalities. Many of them came to visit me in Portugal and I started showing them around for fun. This "hobby" grew in me and I started getting an immense pleasure from it until it became a very serious thing!!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Vietnam and Cambodia 2010. Me and my cousin went to attend a traditional Vietnamese wedding where I was the best man of a big friend of mine and got to visit both countries by buses, motorbikes and tuk-tuk some times self-guided some times taking advantage of the local friends expertise! 3 amazing weeks!!"

Our trip to Portugal was wonderful. We worked with Tiago from Kimkim in planning and booking our trip. Tiago was terrific to work with. We exchanged numerous texts and also had a couple of phone calls with Tiago, and he listened to our interests and he made several suggestions in planning our very memorable trip. We flew into Porto and the next day we had a half day guided tour with Manual. Manual was really great. He was very knowledgeable about the area and really fun to be with. We then drove from Porto to Lisbon and made a few stops along the way that Tiago suggested. In Lisbon, we had a two guided tours wit Joao. The first day Joao showed us the many sites within Lisbon. The second day he showed us around the many interesting sites outside of Lisbon. Joao was really great and made sure we hit on all of our interests. After two days with Joao, we felt like we made a new friend. We then drove to Lagos and toured around the Algarve. The Algarve was beautiful and our only regret was we needed more time in Lagos to enjoy and relax on one of the many beaches, Every aspect of our trip went off without any issues from our pick up at the airport, connecting with our guides, our hotel reservations and our car rentals. Tiago was available anytime we had a question or issue and he followed up with us several times to make sure our trip was going well . We would definitely work wit Tiago again if we make another trip to Portugal.

That part of vacations is not fun for me so I was happy to try outsourcing it for the first time-- It was cool how Tiago provided several daily excursion ideas but we could opt in or out of these which worked well for my family. Sometimes, we are not all ready to move and explore in jam-packed fashion. The experience of answering the questionnaire, then reviewing draft itineraries and making adjustments was perfect. We enjoyed the help and accessibility of Tiago and also the few booked local guides/experiences. All in all, the trip exceeded our expectations and was a good value for us. I can't wait to do another one!

From the planning stages to the final day of our journey, Tiago has been an exceptional travel agent whose expertise and dedication made our trip to Portugal truly fabulous. His attentiveness to our needs, meticulous attention to detail, and deep knowledge of Portugal ensured that every aspect of our vacation was perfectly organized.

Tiago's recommendations for activities and accommodations were spot-on, aligning perfectly with our interests and expectations. He provided us with a comprehensive roadbook that became our go-to guide throughout the trip, filled with valuable insights and tips that enhanced our travel experience. His choice of locales, from the bustling streets of Lisbon to the serene landscapes of São Miguel in the Azores, and the vibrant cultural tapestry of Porto, allowed us to experience a vibrant range of what Portugal has to offer.

We are particularly grateful for the personalized touches he added to our itinerary, ensuring that each member of our family had memorable moments tailored to their interests. Whether it was suggesting activities in Porto that delighted the connoisseurs among us, exploring historical sites in Lisbon, or enjoying the natural beauty of São Miguel, Tiago’s thoughtfulness shone through.

His responsiveness, patience and availability to address our queries and adjust our plans as needed were remarkable. We felt supported every step of the way, which was especially comforting being far from home.
----------------------------------------------
Special thanks are also due for the seamless airport transfers; a heartfelt shoutout to Antonio and Afonso in Lisbon, Henrique in Porto, and Filipe and Hugo for their dependable airport services. Their professionalism and efficiency made all our transitions smooth and stress-free.

Joel, our incredible driver from Lisbon to Porto, deserves extra praise. Not only did he expertly navigate us through the beautiful cities of Óbidos, Nazaré, and Fátima, but his patience and flexibility made each journey enjoyable and stress-free. Whether accommodating additional stop requests or managing schedule changes, Joel's professionalism and friendliness were unmatched. His deep local knowledge and eagerness to share made every mile traveled with him a journey in its own right.

In the Azores, our guide Hugo stood out with his profound knowledge and warm hospitality. His passion for São Miguel and its history brought the island's stories to life in a way that enriched our experience immeasurably. Always ready with a smile and an interesting anecdote, Hugo made sure that every aspect of our visit was engaging, informative, and immensely fun. His dedication to ensuring we had the best experience possible was truly beyond our expectations.
-------------------------------------------
We cannot express enough gratitude for the unforgettable experience Tiago curated for us. His professionalism, passion for travel, and genuine care for his clients' satisfaction are what make him truly outstanding in his field. We wholeheartedly recommend Tiago to anyone looking to explore Portugal; with him at the helm, you are in the best of hands. Thank you so much Tiago. We look forward to working with you soon, and most importantly meeting you again in the near future. Keep in touch

Hi Laura,

I confess I receive your review with great surprise.

First of all, I must say that I'm very sorry that the trip didn't go as well as you wished. I understand that this might have frustrating for you but, believe me, this is just as disappointing for me.

We discussed the itinerary a number of times and I think I always tried to give you the best possible inputs for you to make the most of your trip, suggested different locations for you to stay and even during your stay always tried, together with the guide, accommodate last minute tweaks that you requested.

I also understand that the guide-driver might not have met your expectations, but I can guarantee you that he's an official guide and he actually gave me a positive feedback about your visit. And I spoke with him on a daily basis so, once again, it was with a bit of a shock that I received your comments.

Nonetheless, I fully respect how you feel and I'd very much like to have the opportunity to talk with you over the phone to understand a bit better what didn't go well and understand if there's anything I could do to make up for your experience and/or to improve our services. I'll text you in our thread.

Kind Regards,

Tiago

The hotels were so nice – – if nothing else, please stay at the Quinta de Sao Luis in Douro Valley. It’s a must! We saw the Algarve coast from east to west and experienced the different land and waterscapes. We took time to enjoy the beautiful beaches, caves, and sunsets. We did walking tours, a river boat ride, kayaking, wine tastings, and a once in a lifetime incredible day on a yacht. We also had time built in to wander on our own and relax. Tiago was so knowledgeable, flexible, kind, and caring. He tended to every detail of our trip. We never would have experienced or learned so much on our own. We thank him so much and will forever cheer for his team…. Go Sporting!!

The dinner with live Fado music was probably our least favorite experience. The venue was very small, the dinner was quite long, and the food wasn't as good as we had hoped.
