5.00Bruno is extremely caring, attentive, knowledgeable and kind! He picked us up at the hotel, had fast passes and had us wait for him to pick us up at predetermined spots due to the rain.

5.00Our trip to Lisbon and the Andalusian region of Spain had been on our bucket list for years, so we decided that one of the days, while we were staying in Lisbon, we should visit the fairytale city of Sintra. The private tour we chose also included Cabo da Roca, and Cascais. We chose to do a tour on a Monday because many monuments and museums are closed on that day. We booked well in advance, and a few days later, we got a friendly message from Bruno, our tour guide, offering to answer any questions we might have about the trip. I can say, without hesitation, that Bruno is the best tour guide we've ever had. Of course, he is deeply knowledgeable about this region of Portugal, but beyond that he has deep personal roots, having been raised here. His tour included the most intimate details of the palace and surrounding areas. His own love for the region was evident in all the information that he shared with us, making everything we saw and experienced that day so memorable. When we reached Cascais, he had arranged for a delightful lunch at a beautiful seaside restaurant with great ocean views. We learned so much about the culture and life of the people in this region, and he was genuinely interested in our lives and travel experiences, too. Thank you, Bruno, for such a beautiful day! You are best guide any one could hope for! Beth and George
Bruno rocks!!

5.00We spent a memorable and wonderful day with Bruno. He shared the beauty of his beautiful country. We felt like we were with family. We love the kind people in Portugal, the delicious food, stunning scenery and architecture. We felt confident with this tour from the start with Bruno connecting right after the booking. His energy, knowledge and recommendations for cafes and lunch in Sintra and Cascais were exceptional. We would definitely recommend going with the skip the lineup at the Pena Palace. We felt like royalty. All day long we were ahead of the crowd. We highly recommend this tour with Bruno. It was one of our highlights in Portugal!
We have a lot...

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
