Hi, my name is Bruno. Thanks for visiting my profile. About me: I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro city and I live in Copacabana. I am a person that likes to travel, to practice sports and has a good sense of humor. I am interested in urban art, architecture, gastronomy, music, history, sports, culture and economy. I graduated in Business from the Catholic University (PUC-Rio) in 2003. I have worked as a Marketing Analyst for big corporations such as The Coca-Cola Company and VIVO (Telecom company) for 7 years. In 2015, I started a new career in the Tourism industry working for tour companies as a licensed tour guide. The commitment to provide a high quality of service, knowledge and good communication skills led me to guide hundreds of times including the logistics support of Oakley guests during the Olympics and the transport coordination of the Owners Forum, an event that took place at the Belmond Copacabana Palace in 2016/2017. It is a pleasure to meet every week tourists from all over the world to show them the wonders of the city where I live and tell them the curiosities and the history of the places that we visit. Services: I work with experienced drivers. During the tours you will have full attention of your tour guide. I recommend you not only to visit the main attractions, but also to discover the hidden gems and experience the Carioca's (how the locals are called) lifestyle. It is offered in my ToursByLocals page a group of services that will permit you to cover the most interesting places and activities inside the city. If you or someone from your party have any dietary restrictions, please kindly inform me in advance. There are Kosher, Vegetarian, Indian, Chinese and Lebanese restaurants in Rio. Feel free to send me a message, if there is a doubt or a specific need related to any service described in my page. It is a pleasure to help you and clarify your questions before the purchase of a service. I look forward to seeing you in Rio. Licensed guide by the Ministry of Tourism. Graduated in Business Administration - PUC (Catholic University) - 2003. Technical course in Tourism - PROTUR - 2015. Cours de Français (en ligne) - Azurlingua/Nice - Niveau B2 - 2021 I work with experienced drivers using Sedan cars (Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Cruze) for 2 people and Chevrolet Spin for 3 people . Please, check the service 'Rio by Minivan' for small groups. For a larger vehicle (Van), please request a quote.

Our whole experience with Bruno was seamless from start to finish. This was our first time in Rio, and I booked a 3-day tour so we could take things at a relaxed pace instead of rushing and stressing, especially since we were staying in Barra for a conference. Bruno was incredibly responsive during the initial planning stages. I gave him my must-visit list and left the rest up to him to build our itinerary — and he delivered. He made sure we experienced Rio’s culture, architecture, and nature in a really thoughtful, well-balanced way. His knowledge of Brazil is impressive. At one point, he made a last-minute change to our schedule because of an anticipated cloudy day, and I’m so glad he did — we ended up seeing Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain on a perfectly clear day. That kind of attention and flexibility made all the difference. Highly recommend Bruno if you want a stress-free, personalized way to experience Rio!

We are a senior couple who have used tours by locals many times and never been disapointed. We spent 3 full days with Bruno and we would say he is up there with the best.. Saw all the attractions on a very well planed tour. Able to experience the history and culture of the city and country through the eyes of this knowledgable guide. His sence of humour and very caring nature made us feel safe and secure as we traveled throughout the city. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Rio.

Bruno was a punctual and respectful guide; his English skills were excellent. He is conscientious and completes all visits on time. He shared his passion for the city by taking us to the city's famous sights. The law and order in Rio de Janeiro are worrying, he will remind us to be careful of personal belongings along the way. We can highly recommend Burno!

We had Bruno as our guide for 3 days in Rio. We visited the usual attractions on every visitors list to Rio and as Bruno had purchased passes in advance, our wait times were significantly reduced giving us more time to explore. He is a passionate local who knows and loves his city and can take you to places that are not on the regular tourist trail. We loved our time in Rio and would recommend Bruno as a courteous and knowledgeable guide. Thanks to Marcelo for his excellent driving. Michelle - Australia

Bruno is a thoughtful guide, he was very patient and flexible while planning my days in Rio before the trip, he prepared a custom made program with my preferences. During the three days we spent with him he was very polite, explained a lot of things and helped us with everything we need.

Prior to our trip I communicated with Bruno on a fully customized tour. He was easy to work with and very accommodating. His knowledge of the city and sights was very helpful in my planning. Bruno is a truly amazing tour guide and It's hard to say enough good things about him. His private, customized tour was exactly what I had imagined. His cordial and warm manner was certainly a plus. I highly recommend Bruno for a great private tour of Rio de Janeiro. Select Bruno, he will not disappoint.
