Daniel Ponce is the founder of Yes, You Deserve and a private tour guide based in Sintra, Portugal. With over eight years of experience leading private tours, he is known for his charismatic presence and his ability to explain history in a way that is clear, engaging, and easy to follow.

What sets Daniel apart is not just what he knows, but how he guides. His natural storytelling keeps guests fully engaged, while his structured planning ensures the day flows smoothly without stress or rushing.

Daniel gained international recognition when he was featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, where he was personally selected to guide Robin Roberts inside Pena Palace. This moment reflects the level of trust, professionalism, and presence that define his work.

Rather than offering generic routes, Daniel designs each tour with intention, focusing on timing, crowd management, and meaningful stops that add real value to the experience. His tours go beyond monuments, helping guests truly understand Portugal and enjoy the day at their own pace.

As the founder of Yes, You Deserve, Daniel personally trains every guide on his team to the same standard of clarity, storytelling, and care. His mission is simple: to make every guest feel comfortable, engaged, and genuinely well guided.
