I'm Bernard M., your private tour guide in Rio De Janeiro
Guide #18746
Welcome to Rio de Janeiro, the city of wonders!!! My name is Bernard Moraes, I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. I have also lived in Montreal and Buzios, known as the St Tropez of Brazil. I majored in Business Administration and Psychology is on the final year of my academic pursuit. I have been working in tourism for more than 15 years. I love hosting people from all over the world and showing you my city. Tourism for me is having new life experiences. It can be discovering a new place and culture in different ways, trying local food, visiting places only the locals know, or learning the local ways of life. I’m not the kind of guide that fill your precious time with generic touristic experiences, I want to share with you the authentic Brazilian culture and customized an itinerary with the attractions you want to see, prioritized by best timing, safety, and pleasant enjoyment. I offer private tours from 1-12 people max. Depending on your group size and preference, I can be your driver guide with my own Honda Fit 2014, or use a professional driver and van. Come and discover the special way of life of the "cariocas" (how locals are called). Let me share with you some treasures of Rio!

Debra F.April 2026I’m so glad we chose a private tour of Rio de Janeiro with ToursByLocals—especially with Bernard as our guide. From the very beginning, the experience was exceptional. Bernard arrived early at our pre-arranged meeting spot, greeted us warmly, and even had a sign with my name, which was a thoughtful touch. From there, we were off on an incredible day filled with adventure...

We highly recommend touring Rio with Bernard. He is super knowledgeable about Brazilian culture and history. He made our time together very enjoyable and pleasant. We had just arrived in Rio the day before after 24 hours of travel and were still pretty stressed. Bernard was the right tonic to get us into vacation mode. Besides taking us to the must see sites, he also...

Tatiana – São Paulo, Brazil São Paulo can be overwhelming due to its scale, but Tatiana made it feel accessible and inviting.

Tatiana’s passion for her city is contagious, and her ability to navigate the local scene—especially...
