Who are we?

"Viagens no tempo" is an independent business company offering authentic historical and cultural tours in Portugal. Our method is simple: for each of our tours, we organise a small group of travellers with a keen interest in a specific subject, guided by a university-educated speaker. This enables young historians and archaeologists to share their love of Portugal with a public that is increasingly eager to discover and understand what the country has to offer in terms of diversity and natural resources.

Discover Portugal with "Viagens no tempo"

From Porto to Lisbon, we have gone to painstaking lengths to ensure that none of the countless facets to Portugal's history and civilisation has been overlooked, with each site visited shedding light on a specific period in history or artistic movement, thanks to the skills of our speakers. This historical overview is rounded off with visits to the country's most prestigious museums.
