5.00What an amazing experience! Bruno was the perfect mix of knowledgeable and hilarious—every story about Portugal’s history was fascinating, and he always found a way to make us laugh along the way. I felt completely safe the whole time (he’s such a careful driver), which made it easy to just relax and enjoy the ride. It honestly felt less like a tour and more like exploring Portugal with a good friend who happens to know everything about the country. I left with wonderful memories, so much new knowledge, and a huge smile. Highly recommend Bruno to anyone visiting Portugal! He’s the absolute BEST!!
Thank you, Bruno

5.00From our first encounter “Bruno got us at Hello”! He was so friendly, punctual, knowledgeable, major conversationalist and itinerary driven. He wanted to make sure that all our time was well spent and not wasted. He explained the history and significance of each region or landmark. He chose the best restaurants and bakeries where we can get scenic good cuisine and sweet treats. He was a safe driver. His vehicle was immaculate. He was not just a tour guide. He was was so warm and inviting. I can call him our friend!
Phenomenal Day in Sintra and Cascais with our guide Bruno!

5.00My husband and I have taken countless tours across 40+ countries and Bruno is by far the most incredible guide we’ve ever had!! His knowledge of his homeland and his willingness to ensure you have the best experience possible is unmatched. Due to the threat of wild fires we were unable to go to the Pena Palace, which Bruno communicated to us in advance. He kindly offered to cancel, and offered alternative options to spend additional time in Sintra, Cascais, and Cabo da Roca. I’m so glad we took him up on the alternative plan. He took us to the most beautiful, peaceful viewpoint of the Pena Palace so we were able to see it if only from a distance. He made a surprise reservation for my husband and I at an incredible restaurant (and no he’s not affiliated with the restaurant) in Cascais with phenomenal views of the beach and marina. We had such a lovely day learning about Portugal, seeing its beauty and experiencing its culture thanks to Bruno. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel to the time he returned us we felt and were treated like family. My husband and I highly recommend any and every tour with Bruno!
