Wonderful Tour - 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.

Sintra not to be missed! - 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.

Great day, but LOTS to see! - 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 day - 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.

Best tour ever! - 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!!!!

Sintra the right way! - 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 excellent guide... - Bruno excellent French guide, dedicated. Have made the day visit alone as a couple. When we returned from Pena Castle, he brought us traditional Sinatra pastries, a real delight. He adopted the day tour at our own pace and introduced us to wonderful places.
