Incredible day in Sintra and Cascais with Bruno - My 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!

Bruno is top notch! - We 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.

An Amazing Day with Bruno - We had a truly unforgettable day touring with Bruno. Everything was wonderful and Bruno himself is a fantastic tour guide and person - believe the reviews, you will enjoy the sites, the history, and spending time with him! We went to Pena Palace, Sintra, Cabo de Roca, and Cascais and he set it up perfectly, had time to do everything we wanted, his knowledge and suggestions were great, he knows the best picture spots, the Cascais lunch spot with was excellent and the views/vibe even better! He was strongly recommended to us by a friend and he more than lived up to the hype. We enjoyed all of Portugal but the memories of this tour / day will stand out for a long time… A few tips - Bruno suggested we start early to beat the crowd, and we got the skip the line tickets - worth the cost if you are going during busy season.. take the short walk after Pena Palace for beautiful pictures from a distance, and lastly, if you like Gelato, there is a delicious spot in Sintra he recommended. Obrigado Bruno, hope to see you again.

Private tour to Sintra, Pena Palace, and Cascais - Bruno was the best guide ever!!! My adult son requires the use of a wheelchair. I understood that parts of the tour would be inaccessible to wheelchair but I had hoped that we, as a family, could still manage this private tour. So I reached out to Bruno to ask his opinion. Due to his wealth of knowledge, he knew exactly which areas may pose a problem and we were able to work out options. His communication before the tour helped prepare us for success! We truly loved this tour. All of the sights we saw were gorgeous! Bruno's personal knowledge of the area added a depth to the tour that is rare and precious. We saw such beauty in Pena Palace, Sintra, and Cascais. Our tour ended on a wonderful high note at a scenic and delicious lunch that Bruno had secured reservations on our behalf for. Little touches through out, like offering to take family pictures made it even better. This tour was one of my most favorites of our time in Europe.

We had a fantastic... - We 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!

Amazing bucket list trip ✔️ - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 What an incredible day! We’ve been lucky to travel all over the world, and our time in Lisbon with Bruno ranks as one of the top experiences we’ve ever had. Lisbon itself is breathtaking, but what made it truly special was Bruno. From the moment we met, Bruno went above and beyond. His knowledge of the city, its history, and hidden gems was outstanding. Thanks to him, we had fast access to major sites like the palace, avoided the stress of big crowds, and got to truly enjoy the day. Bruno took tons of amazing photos of us, allowing us to relax and soak in every moment without worrying about capturing it ourselves. He surprised us with thoughtful touches throughout the day—from making incredible lunch reservations right on the water to treating us to pastries from his favorite spot. It honestly felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a close friend. If you’re looking for an unforgettable, stress-free, and fun way to experience Lisbon, Bruno is your guy. We can’t wait to come back and tour with him again. Thank you, Bruno, for giving us a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Best Tour Ever with Bruno :) - I 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 👍🏼

Look no further. Bruno is your guide for Sintra / Pena Palace. - We booked Bruno for the Sintra, Pena Palace, and Cascais tour with my husband and in-laws, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the very beginning, everything was extremely convenient. He picked us up right around the corner from our lodging, and we were off on a full-day adventure that felt personalized and stress-free. The drive to Pena Palace included some heavy traffic and winding roads toward the end, and without the tour guide parking, I think this part of the journey would have been really stressful if we tried to navigate it on our own. Since he's a certified guide, we were also able to skip the lines to get into the palace — a huge time-saver and something we really appreciated. Bruno is super personable and friendly, and it’s clear he’s passionate about what he does. He studied tourism and history at university and grew up in Sintra, so he was an incredible source of knowledge -- not just about the history and architecture of the sites, but also about the many landmarks we passed during the drive and even places we mentioned we’d be visiting later in our trip. During the tour, we learned so much about Pena Palace. He pointed out so many interesting details that we wouldn’t have noticed on our own, which really made the experience special and memorable. He also tailored the day to what we were interested in. We told him we wanted to explore the grounds, so he took us on a beautiful 30-minute walk to a lookout point with views of the palace and the ocean. Later in the day, he gave us the option to explore the old towns on our own and set flexible meeting points based on what worked for us. Overall, Bruno made this such a great experience. He’s a small business owner who runs every tour himself, which was important to me when booking -- unlike other companies, where you might get one of ten different guides. The 100% five-star ratings here aren’t fake... Bruno is actually just that great!

A perfect day with a perfect guy - This 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
