About us


OUR NAME



OUR HISTORY




A Sense of Movement.

Freedom to Discover the Country, and a Deep Connection with Portuguese Culture.


We represent the territory we explore — rich in heritage, traditions, and memories. Each destination has a unique identity, shaped by time and the people who inhabit it.

Operating from the central region of Portugal — at the heart of the Serra de Aire e Candeeiros, along the spiritual paths of Fátima and the Portuguese trails to Santiago de Compostela — we embrace the region’s characteristic winds as a symbol of a vibrant, yet sustainable territory. 

Just like our journeys: authentic and sustainable!


Each experience is designed to guide our clients through Portugal — its history, culture, spirituality, and its people. Beyond borders, we also lead our travelers along the ancient Camino de Santiago, in search of the essence of being, in harmony with nature and the vast cultural heritage along the way.

More than just trips, we create connections

We believe that truly getting to know a place goes beyond visiting it — it means feeling its essence, living it with us.




Our Team






GONÇALO

Co-founder 

Originally from the historic town of Batalha, Gonçalo has a deep passion for History and nature.

As a guide, his storytelling skills and enthusiasm for sharing Portugal’s heritage never go unnoticed by our visitors.

From a young age, he’s been a sports enthusiast, and in his free time, he also enjoys reading, gardening, and sharing good times around the table with friends and family.

As part of the core team, he handles the company’s financial management, timekeeping, reservation coordination, and the creation of personalized itineraries — ensuring that each client enjoys a unique and authentic experience.

He’s the sweet tooth of our team! Some even call him the Curator of Local Delights or the Flavor Explorer. After a tour, if there’s a traditional pastry or a typical savory treat along the way, he never forgets to bring us something back!



Matilde 

Image & Communication

Matilde is the youngest member of the core team — but don’t let her age fool you. She’s the one who takes care of Windland Tours’ visual identity, and she takes that role very seriously.

With a background in Audiovisual Communication Design, she brings freshness, creativity, and attention to detail to every project. She’s passionate about photography, editing, and everything related to visual storytelling.

And if one of the guides comes back from a tour without photos that meet our standards? There’s Matilde, determined as ever, reminding us of the power of every shot — and always ready with great tips for those out and about with little time (or talent!) for masterful clicks.

In her free time, you’ll find her with her cats, diving into a good book (usually in English), enjoying fun moments with friends, and never without a touch of makeup — because style and self-expression tell stories too.

Always cheerful and smiling, she loves to shower the team with little tokens of affection.



Vera 

Co-founder 

Lisbon at heart! Vera is still in love with the city where she was born.

But over thirty years ago, it was in the Central Region of Portugal that she found two great passions: love and the professional challenges that continue to inspire her today.

At Windland Tours, beyond being a guide, she’s the mind behind our written content and the creator of new tourism products that make travelers fall in love with Portugal.

 When it comes to training, she’s the one keeping the team curious and up to date.

She loves background music when she's working at the office and she’s the one who reminds us to take that essential mid-morning coffee break.

She loves a good trip, an inspiring sunset, and those walks in nature that remind us of what truly matters.

During the winter months, she dedicates time to research in History and Tourism, and makes the most of the quieter days to be with family and friends.
