Excellent tour - Informative, and fun insider insights. Would recommend. We enjoyed hearing Bruno's history info, especially the land modifications and history. Strong English.

Amazing Rio city tour - Bruno was the perfect guide to show us around Rio. I swear the man knows everyone in Rio, which meant not only did we feel safe everywhere we went, but also got some very special treatment at some of the iconic destinations we visited on our walking tour 👌🏼
A cold beer at the bus station (our final stop) was the icing on the cake, and allowed us to chill out and get to know Bruno better. Thanks for a wonderful experience Bruno 🙌🏼

Fun and Informational! - I ended up being the only one on my tour and Bruno still gave me the full experience just like he would have with a group. I felt very safe the entire time and the five hours we spent walking through the city felt like an hour! I had done a $200 full day tour the day before and had learned more in the 5 hours I spent with Bruno than the 10 hours I spent on my full day tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and even when I asked more questions he knew all the answers, it was incredible! He also knew all the good cameraangles at every place we went to and went the extra mile to make sure the experience was unique. You can definitely tell this is more than job for him. Very greatful for this experience and am very excited to come back with my family!

A great way to visit Rio! - Bruno was great, we had our flight at 3pm and we had to be back at the hotel at 12pm and he brought the tour forward just for us! He is a very experienced guide and passionate about what he does, tells you interesting anecdotes and really makes you experience the city. You can see that he has passion in what he does, the four hours of tour with him flew by! I absolutely recommend this tour if you want to get to know Rio even just staying a few days in the city

Great Tour - Bruno is an amazing guy. The communication with him was very easy. He is very knowledgeable and could answer all of my questions. Did learn many things about the history from Rio. The tour itself was also really amazing, and you could see, how much fun his work is for Bruno. After our tour we were still in contact and he recommended me many great places. Thanks for the memories!

Priceless memories with Bruno in Rio - Bruno was an absolutely incredible guide for my family’s recent trip to Rio.
He was very knowledgable, informative and had great humour too.
Bruno took us to landmarks and hidden gems of the city. He knew the best photo spots, ensuring that we had amazing images to look back on for years to come.
Planning was on point. Bruno knew the best times to visit to avoid crowds. This was particular helpful given the heat and humidity.
It quickly came clear that Bruno is widely respected across Rio due to the amount of people that embraced and greeted him around the city. This comes as no surprise due to his amazing personality and fantastic work as a guide.
I would highly recommend taking a tour with Bruno! He will ensure that you have the best during your time in Rio.
