Let us tell you a Story
2022
During college the first concept of ReadtheWay was created!
By us 😀
Tourism of Portugal advised us in bringing the idea to life!
2023
A major leap forward, we turned ideas into a working prototype, backed it with market research, shaped a business plan, and got ready to launch.
Best part? We built an awesome team to bring this beautiful vision to life.
2024
Company? Incorporated. App? In the works. We’re turning plans into reality.
2025
We’ve got the partnerships. We’ve got the momentum. Could launch be next?
Our Values
Literature is History
Literature is an integral part of the country’s culture, art and history. In its essence, is part of the identity that makes a place what it is.
Easy Access to a Guided Tour
ReadtheWay aims to create an experience that can be made anytime by anyone with the app. Providing a carefully made route, that guides the user through the city based on a theme or story.
Fun!
If it isn’t fun then it’s not worth it. Our efforts will always be oriented towards a fun and engaging experience.
A different type of Tourism
We believe that there’s more to tourism than visiting the most famous monuments and cities. We think there’s room for a variety of new experiences and dynamics within tourism that can show a rich but lesser known side of the country’s culture.
Old Places. New perpectives.
The same region, place or building, can have a myriad of interpretations. We believe that even the most familiar places can be reborn with a little help of a good story. A good text, theme, poem, music can transform the way we look at the same place.
