Who we are

Luís | CEO

After taking a Law degree and working as a lawyer for five years, it was time for a change. I started Mr. Travel Portugal together with my wife Ana back in 2001. It was the best decision! Traveling around Portugal or all over the world takes now most of my time, and the best trips are the ones I am able to take my family with me. But sports, reading and other activities also have a place on my day by day.

Most amazing trip: Botswana, Africa.

Ana | CFO

It all started in 2001 when Luis and I were looking for a business opportunity and Mr. Travel seemed the right fit. At first I was completely hands-on with all of the details, which gave me a deep understanding of this business, from the moment a client asks for a proposal, all the follow-up during his stay, until the moment he gets back from the trip and of course all management issues. Having the team grown, I am now more in the back office but still proud to see that my team takes just as great care of our incomers and outgoers. Their return for new experiences and recommendations are truly rewarding and are the reason why Mr. Travel is today, nation wise and internationally, a Tour Operator and a Destination Management Company reference when it comes to tailor made luxury travel and events organization.

Joana F | Inbound Department

I joined Mr Travel in 2018 but have been working as an Incoming Travel Agent for more than 15 years. I love what I do! I always keep in mind that each program must suit the clients’ preferences, either is an individual traveler or a corporate incentive. The goal is always to provide an awesome trip!

Leonor | Outbound Business Department

I started working at Mr. Travel in 2004, fresh out of college, and since then a lot has changed: the company grew immensely, having solidified its position in the market and its network of partners. I am in charge of the corporate department alongside with Patrícia and my area of excellence is, and has always been, aviation.

Madalena | Marketing

I am one of the most recent additions to the team but had already been in touch with Mr. Travel as a returning happy costumer traveling to New York, the Maldives and the french Alpes' ski slopes. I have now crossed to the other side of the agency helping broadcast the top tips in Portugal and all over the world. What a challenge it will be trying to not daydream over the keyboard while preparing the images of so many amazing destinations.
