Highlight of Our Trip! Private Tour of Sintra and Cascais - An unforgettable experience! This private tour of Sintra, including Pena Palace and Cascais was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Our guide, Bruno, was a Sintra native, sharing unique insights and historical stories that made each stop fascinating and special. The Pena Palace is a must-see with its vibrant colors and breathtaking views are just as magical as described.
The flexibility to customize our day was a huge plus. Bruno made sure everything went smoothly, from avoiding crowds to recommending hidden local spots.
This tour was worth every penny! If you’re looking for a personalized and exclusive experience that goes beyond the typical tourist path, this is it. Highly recommended!

Bruno is the tour guide you’re looking for! - Bruno was an amazing tour guide! He was so friendly and informative, making our day super fun and relaxing. It would have been a very hectic day had we tried to organize all of the logistics between Lisbon, Sintra, and Cascais ourselves, but with Bruno’s help it was a breeze! He picked us up and dropped us off in Lisbon, and made sure we had enough time to enjoy each stop along our trip. I would highly recommend Bruno’s tour to everyone!

Bruno with DS DREAMSPACE LISBON Tours is wonderful - OMG where to begin. This day trip on September 27, 2024 to Sintra and Cascais was wonderful! Bruno Sales with DS aka DREAMSCAPE Lisbon Tours is so friendly and informative. He showed up on time at our hotel in Lisbon and picked us up in his very nice van and drove us to Sintra, his hometown. He took us straight to Pena Palace and on the way, pointed things of interest to us. He also escorted us inside the castle and guided us every step of the way and gave talking points. Such a beautiful castle! We didn't have to wait long to go inside as we got up early and he had picked us up early. Also got to see the lovely old city of Sintra, and the Quinta da Regaleira and the Initiation Well, and later, he drove us to see the coast and beaches outside of Cascais. We also enjoyed a late lunch in the pretty seaside city of Cascais. Bruno is a wonderful guide and happy to tell you as much history as you want, and show you as much as you want. You will enjoy a great day trip with Bruno as your guide and you will learn a lot too. Fun fact: Bruno used to work in the tourism info office. He also speaks fluent English and we can't wait to schedule another day tour with him the next time we visit Portugal! PS-If you've never been to Portugal, you MUST visit! And if you are interested in other cities to see, ask Bruno.

Probably the best travel tour I've taken! - Bruno was amazing! First of all, his communication before the tour day was fantastic. He arrived on time and was ready to give us so much great information. He was so passionate about his country, and specifically about Sintra. I would give 6 stars out of 5 if I could.

The best experience of our trip! - I cannot recommend Bruno enough. We had the absolute BEST day. My mom and I were only in Lisbon for 2 days, and our day with Bruno was nothing short of perfect! He was so kind, professional, thoughtful, and knew SO much. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and felt so cared for. He was also so caring and thoughtful with my mom and very patient. We cannot wait to go back and do another tour together. We even cried saying goodbye. If you go to Lisbon, this tour is not to be missed. (But fair warning, you will miss Bruno, and Lisbon, very much when you leave.)

A private tour of a lifetime - We had planned our Lisbon vacation with our travel agent several months back and she scheduled all of our tours, which we had several during our visit. I have to say, we were blown away having Bruno as our private guide. Although the tour had some pre-scheduled stops and visits, we had expressed an interest to customize our tour a little bit. Our travel agent said she would reach out and see what was possible. Everything on the original tour schedule was great but we wanted to try to see the Initiation Well at Quinta da Regalira and Bruno seamlessly made that happen and it was one of several highlights of our entire trip. I have to say that although our other tours were good, the tour with Bruno was worth our entire trip. He was very accomodating to our requests.
From the time he picked us up at our hotel, it was like meeting someone we had known forever and it just got better from there. When he says, he enjoys showing you his hometown, it's really like he's inviting you into his actual home. It's just that personal. He listened to everything we wanted to do and incorporated as much of it as possible into his tour schedule. We not only saw great places like the Pena Palace, Sintra and Cascais, but as mentioned, the Quinta da Regalira was a highlight, and we learned so much from Bruno's experience, it was like being in our own personal documentary on the History Channel. Also, he expertly timed all of our entries to each site perfectly to have less wait times and miss the crowds. On top of that, he gave us suggestions for great restaurants and we invited him to dine with us as we enjoyed his company that much. As we were discussing our other excursions, he even gave us tips for those as well and places to check out on our own in Lisbon. We can't thank Bruno enough and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a great tour guide.

Private personalized tour of Sintra and Cascais from Lisbon. - Bruno was informative, articulate, educational, and personable. The tour was on time, planned to minimize impacts of crowds, ease of movements, and scheduled to maximize daylight and locations. He provides great recommendations for snacks and lunch.
Bruno was also very in-tuned to our comfort and safety.

Spent a fabulous day with Bruno exploring the Peña Palace, and the towns of Sintra and Cais-Cais - The best day! Bruno was a fabulous tour guide and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. He has a deep knowledge of history and culture and he entertained us with interesting stories and nuggets of information, especially as he walked us through the Peña Palace. He also included free time for us to explore Sintra at our leisure. He recommended a lovely seafood restaurant overlooking the sea in Cais-Cais.
It seems like something obvious, but I am grateful that he was on time to pick us up from our hotel in the morning, and at each stop along the way. His van was clean and comfortable and he provided water bottles and directed us to bathrooms when needed.
All in all, I highly recommend Bruno and Dreamscapes Tours. He is an excellent, professional tour guide and we wish him great success. Book with Bruno, you will enjoy the day!

Loved our day w/ Bruno! - Our day spent with Bruno was terrific! He was extraordinarily flexible (as two in our party had flight delays). Dealt with everything easily. He is very knowledgeable about the places we visited. Talked plenty, but never too much. Courteous, friendly, and gracious. Safe driver. Knew about attractions, and the best places for "goodies" (snacks, etc). Nice of him to spend lunch with us, and share a bit about his family and upbringing. We really had a wonderful day!
