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!

Bernard was first class and his early advice to pre-purchase Fast Track tickets and take the first train made our visit to Christ the Redeemer all the more enjoyable. We highly recommend him as he was very knowledgable and enjoyable company throughout our entire tour. G & F Thomson
We enjoyed our tour with Bernard so much we did two days! He is a wonderful guide and his love for his city, its history and beauty comes through in the time you spend with him. We highly recommend choosing him as your guide in Rio.
Bernard is a wonderful guide. You will truly get a feeling for Rio and its people after spending time with him. He is so knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely ask him for restaurant recommendations as well! He will not steer you wrong.
Bernard customized this tour to fit exactly what I wanted to do. He adapted quickly to the pace and tone I enjoy when meeting a new city. I like unhurried, with knowledgeable commentary without filling every second with minute, forgettable details. I know some people like that but I like having time to think and digest. Bernard knew the city intimately and provided transportation in his personal vehicle, which allowed us to be very flexible. He also had excellent English. I highly recommend his services.
Excellent tour. Bernard knew so much about Rio. He also knew what time to visit sites on our itinerary. Especially Christ the Redeemer, in order to avoid the crowds. I strongly recommend that you take his tour.
