Tour guide in Lisbon Bruno S.

Olá! My name is Bruno, I'm 41. I was born in Sintra, the most beautiful town in Portugal! As biased as I may sound, I grew up with my grandparents in the countryside. They were very passionate people from the North of Portugal and always showed me how beautiful it is when you let yourself go and fall in love with the place you live. Growing up with my grandparents, who used to sell bread door to door on a bike, interacting with people daily was in their DNA. By tagging along with them and doing simple things like going to a local food market, I was always amazed at how they interacted with everyone, from vendors to friends. I feel that was the spark I needed to thoroughly enjoy being with people and having this impending need to socialize and be in touch with the human side of everyone that I meet. I do love the history, sights, and culture of my beautiful country, but I feel like connecting with people on a more human level is what brings me joy as a tour guide. With that in mind, I decided to accept the challenge of being part of ToursByLocals. We will not only discover the vast history of Portugal but also visit places that hold a special place in my heart, filled with fond memories from my younger days when my grandparents used to take me there. This is something I believe I can best achieve through private tours, which is why I chose to partner with ToursByLocals—a place I consider 'by people, for people. ' It's a pleasure to be part of such a great community, and as one of my favorite quotes states: 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. ' So, if you ever find yourself going to Sintra, Lisbon or surrounding areas, it would be my pleasure to show you around and spend the day unraveling places from my childhood and the time of kings. 3 year study in Tourism Information degree at Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies Tour Company and Legal Licenses: I own and operate an approved tour company licensed by Turismo de Portugal I.P. and possess all the necessary legal licenses to operate as a tour guide in Portugal.
