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.

From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. - Myself and my family recently had the pleasure of going on a walking and favela tour with Bruno, and I strongly recommend you take a tour with him! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Bruno was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area, but he also had a genuine passion for sharing the history and culture with us. He made the tours so engaging and informative, providing fascinating insights. His itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing us to take in the sights without feeling rushed. Throughout the day Bruno took amazing photos + videos of us and the sights which we will cherish forever! Bruno has a great sense of humour and made sure to involve everyone in the discussions, creating such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. He was so helpful with any questions we had and also provided great recommendations and maps for local restaurants, even down to vegetarian spots for myself which was fantastic! If you’re looking for a memorable tour led by someone who is passionate, knowledgeable, and overall exceptional, look no further than Boston Bruno Tours!

I love Bruno - That was an experience! We did the 4 hours tour and ended up with 5-6 hours and it was so much fun. Bruno is a very open, experienced and knowledgeable guy. He took us to all the spots in and around Centro and could tell us a lot about the history and current situation. He knows so much! I learned a lot about Rio and Brazil, even the "deeper layers" no travel guide contains. The best thing, though, was Bruno. He is such a welcoming, warm and open person. If you go six hours on a private tour you through a City you don't really know you have to like and trust your guide. With Bruno we could. It was amazing. Ended up drinking beer and crazy cocktails with him in his hood. Thank you!

The best tour in RJ - The tour with Bruno was excellent. It’s advertised as a long walking tour but never felt like a long tour as he was engaging and informative from the beginning. I learned so much about the history and culture of RJ from Bruno, who gave an honest locals view of life in the city. The sights we saw were interesting and he added additional detail with his excellent knowledge that you may not get on other tours. I would highly recommend any tours with Bruno, he is an excellent guide.
