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.
