Bruno is top notch!

5.00We read many Sintra/Cascais tours but very fortunate to have chose Bruno. We booked several months in advance and Bruno was in communication throughout that time, giving advice and links to sites, food… At the very least, you want a guide that is knowledgeable but Bruno is so much more. There are too many examples on how he went above and beyond for us. He is so flexible and friendly that he truly felt like family by the end of the day. Make sure to ask about his other private tours as well. If I had known, we would have stayed with Bruno for our entire trip. Thank you Bruno for a memorable time.
We had a fantastic...

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Bruno! He was timely, personable, and extremely accessible throughout our trip. As a driver, he was not only skilled and safe, but also friendly, caring and open---It felt as if we were traveling with family. Bruno took us to some amazing spots including Pena Palace in Sintra and the charming town of Cascias where he recommended a lovely seaside restaurant for lunch. His local insights and warm personality made the day even more special. We couldn't have asked for a better driver. Highly recommend a PRIVATE tour with Bruno on your next trip to Portugal!
Best Tour Ever with Bruno :)

5.00I cannot recommend this tour enough!!!! Bruno, the owner and guide, was so amazing from start to finish. He communicated with me prior to even arriving in Portugal and was very reliable. I asked ahead if we could bring our luggage and stay in Cascais (rather than return to Lisbon) at the end of the tour and he was extremely accommodating. The vehicle he drove was clean with lots of windows and sun roofs to see the views while driving. He even brought us pastries and waters when he picked us up!! The entire tour was well planned out, with plenty of free time and we never felt rushed. The facts and information Bruno provided while in the Pena Palace were so interesting and pertinent! Other tours around us were listening to Bruno over their own guide because he was so good!!! Also provided fantastic recommendations for lunch, pastries, and shopping. Bruno was personable, intelligent, kind, and proud to show off his country. I wish Bruno could have taken us all over Portugal as he is the BEST!!! Seriously, don’t think twice and book this tour 👍🏼
A perfect day with a perfect guy

5.00This is the second time that I am booking a tour with Viator and it was more than expected each time. Bruno asked us why we've booked tours like that when we are on vacation. The two main reasons are to spend the day without having any kind of stress and more than anything to learn about the place that we visit. Being with local people is the best way to do it. Bruno was borned and raised in Sintra, this is a very good advantage for tourist like us. We had fun, we shared a lot of personnal things and I feel that we've known each other for long time. It was one of the highlight of our trip in Portugal ! Karo and Mario
Bruno is the best!

5.00This private tour with Bruno was well worth the money. Bruno is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. In addition to being personable, he had a great knowledge of the history and local culture of Sintra, all of Portugal and the rest of the world as well. The skip the line tickets at the Palace saved so much time and enabled us to see Sintra, Cabo da Roca (the westernmost point in continental Europe), and Cascais and not feel rushed. His recommendations for pastries in Sintra and lunch and gelato in Cascais were spot on and delicious. We wanted to walk the promenade between Cascais and Escoril and Bruno accommodated our request. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with the energetic Bruno and wish we were here long enough to take another tour with him. Note: Bruno owns his own business so you will get him as your guide if you book this tour.
