We did numerous tours during our extended time in Portugal and Bruno F. was our favorite tour guide! He was so easy to communicate with, was prompt, attentive, and adaptable. He has great energy and was such a wonderful person to spend our day with. He beautifully balanced his suggestions with what our interests were and gave us the right amount of time to explore each stop. He generously even got us some local delicacies to try. His vehicle was always immaculate so you can tell that Bruno takes great care in everything he does and that is exactly how we felt during our time with him, that his mission was to make sure we had an enjoyable tour. One key factor that made Bruno stand out is that we had mobility issues so he always did his best to try and get us as close to the entrance of each attraction as possible, while working around the parking limitations. He would then make pick-up arrangements that helped reduce our need to walk very far. We highly recommend Bruno as an exceptional tour guide!
Bruno is an outstanding tour guide/driver. He was quick to reply when planning our day for 4 people and buying tickets for Pena Palacio & Regalaria (which sells out quickly). He is from the area and so knowledgeable of the history of Portugal. This really is the only way to navigate the large crowds and really cover all the areas we wanted to see. He set up a delicious lunch in Caiscas -one of our favorite meals. Bruno is so kind and you can tell he enjoys sharing his knowledge and culture with others, including some wonderful pastries. He even gave us suggestions for our next stop in Porto. Obrigada, Bruno! You made our trip so memorable!
Bruno was an amazing guide, he could not have been better. He was prompt, perfect English and is from the area and knows it well. We had a fabulous day with him. He came into Quinta da Regaleira with us and toured us around the property and explained everything to us. He made an excellent recommendation for lunch that had Gluten free options for my husband. I was in contact with him prior to our trip and he was very prompt in his replies as well. I Highly recommend this tour with Bruno.
Bruno was amazing. Professional friendly and very informative. Highly recommend. Views amazing safe driver
Bruno was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide. He customized our day to fit our interests and shared so much amazing information along the way. We got to see lots of sites at our own pace. Bruno was so kind and welcoming. This tour is a must if you are visiting Lisbon and want to see the coast!
Bruno was our tour guide and he was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Portugal, and more specific histories of Lisbon, Sintra, and Cascais. From the moment he picked us up he was SO accommodating and made sure we had the best experience possible. He suggested what times to book tickets to the Pena Palace and Regalaria and they were both perfect and gave us enough time to explore each stop on the trip. I will be recommending Bruno and this tour to all of my friends that are traveling to Lisbon. If you are thinking about booking with him, I highly encourage it!!!
Bruno was excellent. 10/10 guide. Very fun to be around. Very knowledgeable about the area and attractions
We took the tour to Sintra and Cascais with Bruno and it was an amazing experience. Bruno was great at explaining the history of Sintra and Portugal and at answering our questions. He was a lot a fun and was willing to take and show us anything we had an interest in. I would definitely recommend taking the tour with him.
We were skeptical about doing a guided tour for Sintra. My wife and I were going to go on our own via train/bus. But then I read the reviews that spoke so highly of Bruno, and thought it would be nice not to have to worry about any logistics. Turned out there was a transit strike on the day of our tour. So it sure is a good thing we didn’t try to go on our own. Bruno picked us up on time and offered us options to customize the day. I think we ended up doing the standard grouping of activities, and it worked out very well. We saw so much! Being on a private tour all day with someone has the possibility to be weird if you don’t like the tour guide. This was not an issue at all. Bruno is so nice and welcoming and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed our time with him. He’s great at his job, and seems like an overall great person. We are very happy we did this tour with him, as we learned a lot and saw a lot - with some short periods of time mixed in to explore the town of Sintra and Cascais on our own. Beautiful! And easy! Don’t overthink it, leave it all to Bruno, see all the highlights, and have a great time.
We had Bruno as our guide. We had originally booked a tour with another company and they cancelled last minute. Bruno was able to accommodate us and the time slots we originally had booked for site visits. Bruno was amazing, very detailed, informative and incredibly friendly. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. We had an amazing day and would highly recommend a tour with Bruno as your guide! You won’t be disappointed.
This was a wonderful day seeing Sintra and Cascais. Bruno was awesome. His knowledge and personality made spending the day with him terrific, easy and fun!!
Bruno was outstanding and packed our day to the fullest. He efficiently navigated the places we wanted to visit and provided valuable insights. On a more personal note, we found Bruno to be warm, engaging and kind. I highly recommend this tour.
It was exactly what we were looking for. We had a wonderful experience. Bruno was very knowledgeable about the cities and his country as well as proud. He was very friendly, funny and just felt like a family member. We had my 87 yo healthy mom, and husband and myself. He accommodated our needs, changed things up and gave us options. He recommended a wonderful local place for lunch in Cascais. One of the best days of our 7 days of our 18 day trip. We would use him again and recommend him to anyone. Thank you Bruno for a memorable experience. We saw Pena Palace, Sintra downtown, Cascais light house on cliffs and downtown and a little of Lisbon. All with unique characteristic's.
Bruno was our tour guide. He picked us up promptly when he said he would and we had a wonderful tour of Sintra and Cascais. Even with poor weather we saw everything on our itinerary. Nicely paced and some great conversation. We would absolutely book with Bruno again.
Bruno was awesome. Very flexible to our schedule and what we prioritized to visit. Sintra is gorgeous! He was very knowledgable about history of Portugal and Sintra. He went out of his way to make things easy for us (picking up and dropping off at crowded sites). Very intersting tour. Highly recommend.
We would totally recommend this tour! We would never have seen Sintra, Cascais and Cape Roca if we hadn’t scheduled this tour from Lisbon. And it was one of our best days!
Our guide Bruno, was amazing. He knew everything about Sintra, and got us around in the tourist traffic like a pro. He had bottles of water in his car, got us amazing pastries while we visited one site, gave us the history of the sites we visited, and even took pictures of our group while we were descending into the Initiation Well.
Our only complaint, if we had one, was that the tour flew by too quickly and we had to make some tough choices about what to see. The traffic from Lisbon to Sintra (you are travelling both ways during rush hour) is bad and it took an hour each way. We rushed through Pena Palace and Regaleira in the morning and could have spent more time in each, but knew we wanted to have lunch in Cascais. Cape Roca is something we would normally like and are glad we made the stop, but it was overrun with busloads of tourists, all climbing over the fences to get photos on the cliffs, or trampling the plants to find room for photos without other tourists in the shot. I think we will go back and stay in Cascais sometime, and use it as a base to discover the area in more detail because it really deserves more than a one-day trip, but this tour was a great taste of the area.
Amazing trip with a very personal touch. We were able to make modifications on the fly that suited the weather and our desires. So happy that we included Cascais - beautiful coastal town.
Our guide was Bruno and we had a really nice time. He knows a lot about history and tells it in an interesting way. The tour was completely tailored to our preferences. Would recommend.
Bruno was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable about this area. We really enjoyed our tour. He got us reservations a great lunch spot also. Highly recommend him.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My husband and I are not tour people. On a whim I booked this private tour. We had Nuno be our tour guide and he was fantastic! I have never been on such a good tour in my life. He not only catered the tour towards what we wanted to do, but he also incorporated things that were must see in and around Lisbon/sintra/cascais. We enjoyed him so much! We ended up booking a second tour with him two days later! That tour was also fantastic. Nuno is a great guy and has so much knowledge. He is very enjoyable to spend time with. My husband and I don’t do tours and I almost canceled this last minute. Boy, am I happy that we went and loved it so much! Book this and request Nuno! Thank you so much!!!!
Bruno was excellent! He tailored the excursion specifically to us. Asking questions and making suggestions. His knowledge of the area is extensive. We strongly recommend you ask for Bruno when booking this experience. We had lunch at a local restaurant and really experienced the area. He also made recommendations for the rest of our Portugal trip and really enhanced our trip. Highly recommend.
Bruno was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He provided the flexibility we needed for wonderful tour.
What an amazing tour! We booked a private tour and our tour guide Bruno was top notch! He showed us all the hidden gems during our tour and made this tour memorable. Bruno went above and beyond to make sure we visited everything this tour offered plus more customizing the tour to what we wanted to visit as well. I recommend this tour and ask for Bruno. You won’t be disappointed.

Bruno took our family of 4 on a tour of Sintra, Cabo de Roca and Cascais. He went above and beyond at every step, getting us local pastries, finding and making us reservations at a vegetarian restaurant and giving us great tips on shortcuts to get through the crowds at Pena Palace. He was very kind and very professional. If you book with him, ask him to play you some of his recordings as he's an excellent singer/musician!

My boyfriend and I went on a trip to Sintra today. It was nothing short of amazing! Bruno was an excellent guide and advised us on ways to beat the crowds and see all the beautiful sights we wanted to visit. As a bonus, he got us a local pastry that you can only get in Sintra—absolutely delicious! We look back on a great day. Thank you, Bruno, for everything!

Bruno was wonderful from pick up to drop off. His historical knowledge as well as professionalism mixed with kindness made for a wonderful day. Bruno customized the trip for us so that we experienced the highlights of Sintra and Cascais with minimal crowds. Would highly recommend.

We had a great day spent with Bruno who took us to where he grew up and loves. He checked with us about what we have done and what else we would like to do. Once we got all of that sorted, he was amazing at whisking us around the hills, and skillfully driving through the narrow and steep bends of Sintra. We had an extensive overview of the country's history and the happenings that shaped Lisbon as what it is today. It was also so sweet to hear stories of Bruno's experience in the palace as a school boy and stories of his family, sprinkled all around Sintra. He even took us to his local eating place, and that was the best food experience we had!
With 2 young kids, we definitely would not have done and seen what we did if we tried doing this on our own.

Excellent tour with Bruno! He went above and beyond for us. A tour is definitely a must as the traffic and small roads make it difficult to navigate the area.
