Best Guided Tour in Portugal - Bruno is hands down one of the best guides out there. It's worth noting that his transit van is new, spacious and top of the line. He runs his own company and yet provides all of the amenities of any of the larger companies out there with a very personal touch.
His English and Spanish is impeccable and he is well versed in French.
My family and I went on the day trip to Sintra/Cape Roca/Cascais. He was a phenomenal guide imparting a ton on the history and culture of the places visited. His familiarity with so many locals allowed us VIP access to several of the touristy restaurants and bakeries on our travels.
Bruno is a great conversationalist and has traveled extensively himself. He was able to keep all of us, including my teenage sons, engaged during the drives between sites.
I was really impressed, enough so to also go on a half day tour to Fatima and Nazare on NYE. We spent a good deal of time on the drive rehashing pop culture from the 90s.
In all, Bruno knows the history down pat, is one of the most personable people around and he's flexible with any plans, ideas, itineraries you may have.
I recommend him 100% and suggest asking him about things to do and places to go outside of your time with him. He helped recommend restaurants and laid out transportation info for us to get around Lisbon long before we even headed out there. If we could give him more than 5 stars we would!

Every stop is a flash - Group of 6 people from Brazil and we loved the Sintra tour, Bruno was punctual and shared with us the history of the sites visited but in a fun way and with very nice details.
The tour includes several stops and each one is an insta flash.We highly recommend Bruno Miguel Tours to those who visit Portugal.

Best Lisbon private tours! - Excellent experience with Bruno! Great communication, easy booking and very prompt! We had two full day tours of the Lisbon area and we would have missed so much without Bruno. Very nice cars/vans with lots of room. His knowledge of the area and his ability to tailor the trip to your needs is exceptional!! We wish we had time for a third day!!

Bruno is amazing! - We had a fantastic day with Bruno last week visiting Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais! From the minute he picked us up from our hotel, Bruno was informative, helpful, patient, and flexible. We learned so much about the history of Portugal and the sites we visited, and Bruno let us modify our itinerary on the fly when we decided we wanted to add another palace while visiting Sintra. He made sure our 5 month old son had breaks to eat and have his diaper changed and helped us stay dry on a very rainy day! Bruno took some wonderful photos of us exploring the sites and made the entire experience a joy! We definitely recommend Bruno and will 100% book another tour with him next time we are back in Lisbon! Thank you Bruno!

Sintra and Cascais trip with Bruno - We had an excellent and easy day with Bruno Miguel in Sintra and Cascais. We found him on Facebook and had called him up to take us to Nazare and Obidos the day before and had such a great time that we asked us to take us the next day to Sintra and Cascais. We were 2 middle age women and 2 20 year old boys and everyone enjoyed Bruno. He was a very safe driver, super friendly and really helped my sister who had sprained her ankle two days before by translating for her at the farmacia so she could get an ankle brace. We appreciate that he was laid back and able to adjust to our plans and how we wanted the day to go. He was super dependable and knowledgeable of all the sites and we would not have seen half as much with as much ease or really appreciated the amazing history of what we were seeing without him. He also introduced us to amazing food and made it so easy for us to order. It was really worth the money and fairly priced. Next time I come back to Portugal I will call Bruno again!

Excellent, educational and fun tours to Sintra and from Lisbon-Porto! - My friend recommended Bruno to me and I am so glad he did! When I reached out to him, his follow-up was great and he was organized and reliable. During our two days with him, he shared with us some of his knowledge and passion about Portugal. Our first day trip was to Sintra (the fascinating Quinta da Regaleira Palace), a lovely lunch in scenic Azemhas do Mar and beautiful Cape Rocam Cabo da Roca the western most point of continental Europe before stopping in Cascais, cute town on the coast with lots of shops, cafes. The second day with Bruno was a transfer between Lisbon and Porto; Bruno did a terrific job with showing us a few great stops along the way.
Throughout our time, Bruno was exceptionally knowledgeable with history and gave us great background information. He was a delight!

The Best Tour Guide in Portugal! - We had an amazing day in Sintra and Colares with Bruno! Our group of six (3 couples) absolutely loved the experience. Bruno is knowledgeable, fun, and made the history come alive while keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable. He took care of every detail, kept us ahead of the crowds, and even helped capture great photos. Visiting Colares was such a wonderful addition to the tour. Highly recommend booking with Bruno — he truly made our trip unforgettable!

Amazing Day with an Amazing Guide! - Our group of four had a wonderful time with Bruno on our trip to Sintra/Cape Roca/Cascais. Bruno picked us up in a roomy and comfortable van and the day just got better from there! We visited so many amazing sites and viewpoints throughout the day and had a lovely lunch at the Arribas Sintra Hotel. From the start, Bruno was easy to communicate with and was flexible with planning the day based on what you wanted to include. It was even better getting to meet him in-person - he is very knowledgeable and also just a fun person to spend a day with. I wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with him on a future trip to Portugal and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a private tour.

🤩 A Day in Portugal with Bruno: More Than Just a Guide! - If you're searching for a local who embodies the soul of Portugal, look no further than Bruno Miguel! 😊 My quest for a knowledgeable guide led me to Bruno, whose email charm made it clear he was the best choice for a personalized Portuguese adventure.
Our epic day began with him picking me up from my Airbnb, and from that moment, I knew I'd struck tour guide gold. Bruno whisked us away to Pena Palace 🏰, setting the stage for an engaging journey filled with history and culture. His expertise became evident when we stopped in the village center for traditional pastries and chocolate cherry port wine 🍫🍒—an irresistible combo! Bruno introduced me to delightful pastries and heavenly cheesecake; each bite was a revelation. 🤤
We marveled at Monserrate's intricate details 🏰, visited Azenhas do Mar 🌊, and took in breathtaking vistas from Cape Roca to Cascais. Through his passion, Bruno unraveled stories and trivia with enthusiasm in four languages! 🌍 His generosity even extended to treating me to lunch 🍽️ and delectable ice cream🍨.
Most importantly, Bruno’s driving felt like a safety cocoon 🚗, ensuring my well-being throughout our adventure. By day's end, it wasn't just about the sights—I'd gained a local friend in Portugal 🤝.
Pro Tip: Communicate with Bruno about your interests, and he'll tailor the trip of your dreams. An authentic experience, worth every euro! Bruno Miguel turned my day into a cherished memory, and I can't wait for a food tour encore with him on my next trip to Portugal! 🇵🇹✨
