Our Story
Born in Lisbon, Driven by Passion
We didn't just start a tour company — we started a love letter to the city we call home.
Our Story
How It All Began
Adercio grew up in the streets of Alfama, where the smell of grilled sardines and the sound of Fado drifting from open windows were just part of everyday life. He spent years watching tourists rush past the city's most beautiful corners, missing the soul of Lisbon entirely.
So he did something about it. He got behind the wheel of a classic car, put on his signature cowboy hat, and started showing people the real Lisbon — the hidden viewpoints, the neighbourhood bakeries, the stories behind the azulejo tiles.
Today, Adercio's Classic Cars is a small, passionate team of local guides who share one mission: to make every guest feel like a local, even if just for a few hours.

"Lisbon is the most beautiful city in the world. I just want everyone to see what I see."
The cowboy hat is not a costume — it's a statement. Adercio has been guiding tours through Lisbon for years, and his energy is absolutely contagious.
